Colors of an Autumn Sunset

Welcome, and  thanks for stopping by my blog!

 Autumn is officially here, 
and October is just around the corner
Here in Maryland,
hardly a leaf has fallen from the trees!
There is not much fall color outside yet, 
so I decided to get in the mood of the season
 by wearing some fall colors




 I am very happy that we are experiencing
 warmer than average temperatures,
 and the cooler weather is slow to arrive this year
 
 Are you immersed in all that is fall at this point,
 where you live?
Is it cool enough to start wearing
 your cozy sweaters and boots, yet?
  🍂🍁
Too warm for that here, 
  but I thought some autumnal colors
 in my outfit this week were in order


The blouse I am wearing today reminds me
 of the colors of an autumn sunset
It is a long sleeve wrap style with a streaked design,
 in lots of fall hues in a multicolor mix 
  It's all here-gold, orange, rust, red and various shades of blue 
I paired this colorful blouse with navy blue straight leg trousers



 I started getting my fall accessories 
out of storage this week,
including this vegan leather and suede
tulip mini tote bag in cognac color-
a perfect shade of rusty brown for fall


For other accessories, I chose a crinkle fabric
 wired hairband in royal blue,
 and shiny gold tone jewelry
Wearing a wrap style collar necklace
 and chunky square-round hoop earrings



For shoes, I got out my woven cognac mules
 with stacked wooden heels-
 they coordinate so well with today's bag



Continuing to enjoy
 unpacking my fall and winter clothes,
it's like a delivery of old friends
I haven't seen in six months!

Also, continuing the closet clean out,
concentrating on shoes leaving my wardrobe this fall

Actually, the slides pictured below
 were in the consignment box,
 but I snatched them back out!
 I thought I was ready to part with them,
as they are a bit big around my ankles,
but I'm just not ready for them to leave,
so back in the closet they go
 for at least another fall/winter season!
Plus, western wear is trending currently,
and these have a bit of a western look to them




Wearing these perforated slides below in the fall of 2018,
 shortly after I purchased them
 The metallic color is called "gilver"   
They look more gold or more silver,
depending on in lighting
I have worn them quite a bit over the past years,
especially with jeans and trousers
They are really different and outfit makers,
and are fun to wear, so I changed my mind,
(this has happened more than once!)
 they not leaving my closet yet, they are staying
I'll try again next week
There are a few pairs to show
 that actually made it out the door


🥿👢👡👟



Hope everyone has a good week,
and the weather in your area is glorious!

That blouse is gorgeous and 100% autumn sunset. I like how you used a combination of navy and brown in the look. I'm glad the shoes are getting another fall/winter season to spice up your outfits; I agree that they will work great as a nod to the western style trend.
