Pretty Leaves and Long Sleeves

My absolute favorite time is approaching us at a rapid pace: FALL! Pretty leaves and long sleeves is my motto for this epoch of beauty.

Today, I am going to talk about colors for autumn and what to pair them with!
By far, my favorite color which is already showcasing itself is Olive Green. Although it is not a typical neutral, it consistently acts as one while being paired with other colors. Creating a color scheme with this deep forest green can be tricky, but a safe trio I have discovered looks amazing together includes white and red/pink tints in the mix. Christian Dior explored the realm of this rich green in multiple of his designs during his Fall 2015 Couture Collection Fashion Show. Here are a few of my favorites:
Although it is not easily spotted, the dress pants included in the design on the right have a slight pink tone balancing out the richness of the contrast of Olive Green and White. As for the dress on the left, the mix of pink toned florals add a message of femininity to the boxy shape of the dress. 







Another flash of color highlighted on the runway for Fall of 2015 is a flash of red. Many designer such as Kate Spade have been pairing neutrals together and implementing a pop of red into the look. This season, Kate Spade took a leap and showcased this strong hued color in a multitude of designs, here are a few which stand out:

These two color schemes placed together by designers on the runway are quite different from the years in the past. There is going to be a bit more of brightness this Fall and I am so excited to wear the colors.
