I'm trying not to fall into the habit of always reaching for darker neutrals come fall, but if my recent purchases are any indication, I'm clearly not doing well. I think ultimately, there is no point in trying to force something, I want to wear what makes me feel the most comfortable and happy on any given day. Somedays that might be chiffon pleats, others a cozy grey sweatshirt.

I am trying to stay away from dark Fall colors by adding more bright colors but I'm not doing a really good job of it. Oh well!! You look lovely as usual, love the leopard belt.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the color of that bag!!

I love seeing the fall foliage in the background. Our leaves haven't changed yet. I also find myself reaching for dark colors in the fall. I love how you added the pop of color to this outfit with your bag!

Reaching for darker clothes is unconscious for me as the weather changes. It's almost like I forget I have brighter color clothing! Darker colors are still lovely though!
ReplyDeletelove the autumn leaves! great background! your dress is so cute!

That dress looks so pretty and cozy--I think I would want to wear it all the time! I've been having such a thing for neutrals lately too, and I used to be so color-crazy. Oh well, it's nice to have some of both.
ReplyDeleteseriously loving your color combo!! Burgundy, blacks, grays and leopard are on my top faves list for sure!!

I think as bloggers we often fall into the trap of seeing so much inspiration that it clouds our rational thinking when it comes to how we dress. We tell ourselves we should do more of things because we see others doing them, even if those things aren't neccessarily what will make us most comfortable and happy. It's a constant struggle. But at the end of the day, you're absolutely right - there's no point in forcing yourself into a style that doesn't feel like you. And personally, I've been loving your neutral looks, especially because you always seem to add a lovely pop of colour, like your red handbag here, which is one of my favourites in your collection.

Just give into the color palette that makes you comfortable! Gray and red are perfect for fall!

Beautiful dress, love the pop of color!!!

Love your combo or gray, black and red. I definitely think it's easy to gravitate to darker and neutral colors this time of year. But if you are excited about your outfit, you should definitely wear it.
ReplyDeleteI love your budget section!!
