Because I Want To

I wore this scarf today because I wanted to, not because I had to:



Because it was warm here today.  Not just not-cold, warm.  I think it got up to 78 or so.  In November.  In Western Pennsylvania.  So, did I need this scarf?  No, I did not.



And the same could be said for the boots:

Dress: Target  Cardi: LOFT (similar)
Scarf: c/o of FRAAS (similar)  Boots: v. old Steve Madden (similar)

I'm wearing them not because it's cold and I have to.  No, I'm wearing the boots because it's November, damnit, and I want to wear boots.



Happy Wednesday, All!

Pantone Fall 2015

Below are the top 10 trend colors Pantone has selected for this fall:


They are: Cashmere Rose, Biscay Bay, Cadmium Orange, Amethyst Orchid, Oak Buff, Marsala, Desert Sage, Dried Herb, Reflecting Pond and Stormy Weather.

I'm pretty excited about most of the colors and am especially excited for Dried Herb because I'm pretty sure that's just another name for my beloved olive.


I mean, right?  That's totally olive.


I'm also excited for Reflecting Pond; it's a gorgeous navy.



And for Stormy Weather; it may seem boring to some, but I think it's a great gray and a fabulous neutral:



Oak Buff and Biscay Bay are my two other favorites out of the ten:



They'll be gorgeous paired with the olive, navy and gray neutrals.


As for the other colors, I don't imagine I'll be introducing them into my wardrobe this fall.  No, not even the orange.  I do love orange, but the Cadmium Orange is not my favorite.  At all:


On their site, Pantone explains that this color is meant to reference the 60s, and it does, but surely there was another color from that decade they could have referenced instead.  This is just not great for me.


I'm also taking a hard pass on the Desert Sage and the Marsala:


I'm just not a fan of "dusty" colors; I like more saturation


As for the Cashmere Rose and the Amethyst Orchid, they're not for me either:


I like the idea of them for Fall because they're unusual choices.  And I think they both pair especially well with navy, but I'm picky about my pinks and hardly wear any purple at all so I'm going to skip these two as well.


What about you, Reader Friends?  Which of these color trends will you be trying for Fall?


Happy Thursday, All!
