Sometimes you really have to appreciate the steep contradictions of the fashion world. Each season, Queen Anna Wintour, the elves at Pantone and the fashion fairies designing our fanciful frocks dictate the trends and we merrily oblige.
By the time September rolled around, I was so ready to abandon pastels, mints and sorbets for a much darker pallet. But true to form, as much we talk oxblood (which my God, I might be over already! Except for this one thing thing I’m dying to wear haha…see! contradicting myself again)… I’m rambling.
Back to my point! As much as we talk oxblood, black & gold, and neutrals – there’s also tons of brights everywhere. The key to wearing bright colors in fall (much like wearing white) is to make sure that your fabrics are season appropriate.
I paired a silky blouse with cotton blend ankle pants and layered a cashmere sweater from Lafayette 148, all of which I’ve owned for a while now. (Still on my personal challenge to include clothes that I’ve had and not solely focus on blogging new pieces).
The weather was particularly mild today but if I needed more layers for warmth I’d add a bright 3/4 length topper like this one from Anna Scholz.
Shop my look!

You just gave me such fashion inspiration! I have that pink ASOS skater dress and I think I am going to pair it with my leopard print flats. Thank you! And I love the necklace… it's a little piece of heaven!
I'm so glad, pink and leo is always a fav!
I love your blog. Aside from your style you come across as a solid person. If I were near you I would buy you a drink and toast fashion and feeling good.
Thank you that's so sweet, I appreciate it!
I feel so wrong wearing brights in fall! LOL. But I totally agree that it's the fabric that makes it fall appropriate. I absolutely LOVE your trousers and that mint colored bag is so cute! Lovely look! <3
