I’m convinced that this is the perfect autumnal outfit, in
spite of the fact that it’s made up of brights:
(Exact Merona Cords, Similar Sweater, Similar Shoes)
And they are some BRIGHT brights too. But, I like the flame-orange cords (Target)
with the electric blue sweater (Nordstrom, thrifted). It could even be argued that I toned the look
down a bit with houndstooth shoes (Old Navy, thrifted) if, you know, you
consider houndstooth to be toned down. If
you don’t, well, then, yeah…
Really though, even with the bright brights and
not-exactly-neutral houndstooth, this outfit feels like fall to me. I think I feel that way in part because it
consists of cords and a sweater, which I think we can all agree is a classic
fall outfit. And, while I understand
that these may not be classic fall colors, I think they’re fall-like in
their own way. For me, they evoke images
of turning leaves, pumpkin patches and the blue fall sky before the rains come.
Of course, I could just be convinced this outfit feels like
fall because today finally felt like
fall. It was actually quite chilly on
the ride in and I may have to break out the mittens before the week is up. So exciting!
Happy Tuesday, All!

gracey, i think the orange is very autumn! you are right about the blue being like the sky. sigh. :)
ReplyDeleteI am totally sold! Those cords are awesomely flattering too.
ReplyDeleteTurquoise and orange are so good together! I love your take on autumnal dressing, and as Amber said, those cords are a perfectly flattering fit. xxxx
ReplyDeleteGracey, wtf. You will see my outfit post for tomorrow and you are going to understand my wtf-ing. Hint: I am wearing basically a muted version of your outfit today.
ReplyDeleteAlso, cords and a sweater are the ultimate autumnal fabric combination. So cozy!
!!!! I usually hate orange and blue together (I live in a college town where those are the school colors and I see it far too often) but you pull it off so wonderfully. Also those are some pretty badass shoes.
ReplyDeleteGreat post :)
Lovely lovely colours, they make my heart sing. I hope you are feeling better now :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a great outfit you put together! Pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit. You are a ray of sunshine on a cool fall day! I reject the idea that certain colors should be reserved for certain seasons. I agree that a sweater and chords= fall:)
ReplyDeleteBright colorblocking is totally appropriate for fall! Especially when it include a cute knit sweater, and warm cords.
ReplyDeleteLove this outfit... the bright blue & orange go perfectly together.

Orange is an all-season colour, but particularly autumn, because of turning leaves. I LOVE it paired with the bright blue, that's just such a brilliant colour combination. Also, you look very sleek in this, and yay! corduroy!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about your outfit, and I especially love your orange and blue together! Alas, I live in Denver, and if I sport them together too often, I may be mistaken for a broncos fan, and I don't want that.
ReplyDeleteLOVE!!!! Wow you work brights and you work em good! :) And I would consider houndstooth a neutral but then again I have been known to wear crazy patterns! I love wearing bright colours in fall/winter to chase away the cold weather blues!
ReplyDeleteI think this is a perfect fall look. The cords are gorgeous, so is the color pairing. I love the pattern pop in the shoes. I highly doubt bright colors are disappearing any time soon. I hope they continue on through dreary winter.
ReplyDeleteI am convinced, Gracey. You are absolutely right. Teal and orange will forever say, "IT'S FALL NOW!" even if the stupid weather here is bullish.
ReplyDeleteI am also in love with those cords and can't wait to see them in future posts. They are a WOWWOWOW :)
Great colors. One never goes wrong with brights.
ReplyDeleteMitten weather! How exciting. :)
ReplyDeleteBlue and orange look wonderful together!
love the mix of colors!!

Killing it as usual, Gracey. I have major textural issues with corduroy (touching it makes my skin crawl) but I'm willing to give these a pass when the day for the Great Global Corduroy Purge is at hand. You know, 'cuz of the orange and all.
ReplyDeletethat is a wonderful outfit! and it is very fally... cords and a sweater, siiiiigh... and the houndstooth looks fabulous with the brights!
ReplyDeleteOH! These colors! They are blindingly bright, but in such a gooood way. They almost look yummy, those colors are so bright and fantastic. I would have never thought to do this pairing, but this coral/orange and the blue just make your skin glow. And the little bit of the print with those shoes just makes the look that more fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI really love the brights! I've rocked some color blocking outfits lately, too and they always get tons of comments from my coworkers. It puts everyone around you in a good mood, I think ;)
ReplyDeletelove this color combo! xo
ReplyDeleteI've decided that whatever I want to think of as fall is totally fall. Regardless of my correctness, I dig the color combination.
ReplyDeleteTotally LOVE those pants for fall! Want to roll around a pumpkin path in em!

You shine in this outfit. Love the shoes.
ReplyDeleteI love that you're wearing brights for fall, I'm not ready to pack my brights away yet either. Looking bright and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is a brave color combination that you pull of excellently!
ReplyDeleteGator colors!
ReplyDeleteI think sweaters, orange, cords and houndstooth are all fall wardrobe essentials. Who cares if they're a little brighter than usual? Sometimes people get too gray in the fall/winter. It's good to keep some brightness in your life :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy the colour combo and the shoes.
