Autumn Color

 Hello, welcome to my blog and

thanks for stopping by!

I always love to pull out my few pieces of clothing

 with the color orange in them for October,

 because the color suits the season and the month so well!

🧡

How about you? 

Do you like to dress in the colors of the season,

 or do you like to stick to your favorites?

   Orange is not a color that I wear often,

as it is very warm and does not suit my cool 

tone complexion very well

I like the color so much though, it is very joyful!

I also enjoy dressing for the colors of the season

When I do wear orange,

I use the strategy of wearing something

 that is in my color palette, or at least neutral, near my face,

 and use those true oranges in my accessories

Today, I am wearing a summer sundress as a fall skirt

I don't think I have ever worn this dress in the summer,

 as it was meant to be worn, because the colors

are perfect for fall

All of the items in this outfit are from previous seasons

 The dress in particular,

 has been in my wardrobe for over 10 years!  

 

 Even though the print is giant stylized poppies,

 the colors are definitely fall like

Yellow, gold and red-orange on a black background

 I usually wear the dress layered in the autumn

For this outfit I decided to wear a short sleeve button up

 crew neck sweater, that is more of a pinkish coral, 

but gives an orange-y feel, over the dress

I chose decidedly warm and autumnal accessories

   For a bag, this quilted tweed in mostly orange, 

with an adjustable chain strap

My gold tone jewelry consists of a large dome bangle bracelet,

 a brass tone collar necklace with amber colored rhinestones, and vintage 1950s leaf shaped earrings

For shoes I choose black suede low block heel sling backs

 with a tuxedo bow and fine chain detail

Even though suede goes hand in hand with the 

autumn and winter seasons, this year it is a major trend 

Creative suede and faux suede items are plentiful

 I love that this year I am seeing them

 in a lot of unusual colors, like pink and blue for instance

I predict that I will not be able to resist 

 some new suede accessories

in fun and unexpected colors!

 Here is one of the other times I wore this dress,

also in the fall, with a black net 3/4 sleeve blouse 

layered underneath

As Jodie says, " be the boss of your clothes"!

 

Hope you are enjoying the fall season!

Our temperatures have done the autumn dip,

so the sweater and light outerwear boxes will definitely

 need to be retrieved from storage this week
