Considering I only switched out my spring clothes for my summer options a couple weeks ago, it is perhaps a bit too early to be looking toward fall, but I'm cheating just a little. I was thinking this morning that late July is always when that magical, back to school issue of Seventeen magazine showed up filled with all of it's fall-fashion magic. It does not help that I've been bingeing season three of Stranger Things and so freakin nostalgic for my youth of neon-lined malls. All of which is giving me a summer sort of restlessness and excited back to school shopping vibes. (and the best thing about working in academia is still being excited for every school-year start even as an adult, so I usually buy a few new clothes and some random school supplies every September. )
But nevertheless, I already thinking about jackets and sweater dresses, even though we actually have had some heat out there finally especially since I've spent the morning with some plus-size haul videos on YouTube that have me thinking about fashiony things. There are some colors I keep seeing that are jumping out at me in summer offerings that I see carrying well into fall, especially since I always have this weird span of time in September where it's still warm enough for summer dresses, but am anxious to get into fall clothes.
Mustard
There is so much mustard in stores this year for summer--also other shades of buttery yellows, of which I now have way too much in my closet. Fall is looking to be no different. They're a little tricky sometimes, because there is a variation of mustard that looks terrible against my skin, but the warmer ones tend to fare well. The above Old Navy one caught my eye and I will probably get it since I'm loving the delicate floral.
Dusty Pink
This is a color that works really well for my skin but I never encounter it quite enough. I'm not sold on the neckline of this particular Old Navy dress, so it's not a sure thing (too high and I feel like it will make my boobs look frumpy). But that color is making it super tempting to try..esp with those leaopard flats.
Forest Green
I've been unusually obsessed with dark green, and even bought a velvety green ottoman for the studio (mostly as an incentive to keep the damn place tidier. ) When my hair was darker, this was a color I loved, but it still works even when I'm blonder. It's actually a color that works in every season, being bith naturey and holiday-ish.
