Mixing textures and hues for a fun California Fall Outfit
I can't believe that it is October already. I keep seeing pictures
of scarves and boots and I'm longing to get bundled up in some true fall
fashions. However, the California weather has a different plan. I can't
complain too much, summer is my favorite season so who am I to hurry up the
mild west coast seasons? Fall weather will eventually be in full swing and I'll
have plenty of time to bundle up.
Some of my favorite things about fall fashion are the rich colors
and fabrics. Knits are my favorite to wear because I'm almost always cold and
love to be comfy. I got this coral knitted tank top a couple weeks ago from TartCollections and have been dying to wear it! It is actually a rather
transitional piece. It works great as a bikini cover-up in summertime and can help add
warmth via layering in fall and winter. I layered it over my trusty lime green
dress that I have had for seven years. Which just goes to prove that
certain items never really go out of style.
This
classic dress has a bit of a retro vibe. It is a blend of soft and light
sweater fabric, pleated silk chiffon and hand-sewn bead trim. Green is
projected to be the "it color" this season so I figured that I better
ease myself into this trend. My closet doesn't have very many green options,
which could be one of the reasons I've held onto this muted lime green dress
for so long. Certain greens can be rather hard to pull off but the muted almost
pastel shade of this dress is easy on the eyes and easily paired with other
colors.
The
open knitted tank looks great over this lime green dress because it is a muted
shade as well. They complement each other because they both feature solid dusty
hues. For added bonus perfect for fall, this combination is super rich in
texture.
I added even more
color to this ensemble through my accessories and shoes. I've always loved lime
green and turquoise together. You could just as easily finish this look off
with nude shoes and a long gold necklace. As it happens, I just threw my nude
shoes away and haven’t yet found a replacement. They were faux suede and
scuffed to the nines! I’m super OK with all the color going on here anyways.
Fall fashion can have the tendency to get bland and monochromatic which definitely
can’t be said about this colorful outfit!
