One thing I love about this time of year is all of the fall colors. I’m not entirely sure why we change color schemes, perhaps it has to do with the weather and vibes of this time of year. When the fall season approaches, the colors in fashion get darker. We start seeing burgundy, mustards, dark oranges, browns, and more grays and blacks.
Not only do we start going into fall colors, but even the fabrics and patterns shift. We will see more velvet, suede, and knits; all have a softer feel. Plaids and Paisley prints are appearing in stores (see my latest Trend Report on plaid). Although I love the light and bright colors of spring and summer, I always gravitate toward fall colors.
The dress I’m wearing in these pictures represents a perfect example of fall colors. It’s a darker orange-red, not the bright orange of summer. This dress is from H&M and absolutely darling. It’s very versatile in the way I can wear it for drinks with the girls, date night, or an office cocktail hour. I found this dress on a San Francisco trip. At first, I walked away, but couldn’t get it out of my mind, so I went back and made the purchase. Thankfully it came in handy the following weekend during an office party with clients.
I love so many details of this dress. First, I love the very 60’s “Jacqueline Kennedy” style of this dress. The bell ¾ sleeves are so adorable and only add to the mod look. On the back, the dress fastens by fabric covered buttons.
I don’t usually go for the color orange, but the color is dark enough that it worked nicely. I’m wearing more of a simplistic cocktail look with strappy soft gold heels. My earrings are beautiful statement pieces that really stand out.
