I’m really into oranges, rusts, browns, and reds right now. Maybe it’s because I miss a fall where the leaves don’t just shrivel up on the tree before they fall off onto the hot ground. Or maybe because of my redhead status, I want everything to go with my hair. Either way, I thought this outfit was just right for this time of year because it’s not super buttoned-up and snuggly, but it still reads fall because of the colors. Also, right now the whole menswear thing is really big, so I get to be kind of on-trend, too. Two outfit birds with one blazer/loafer combo!
Lately I have been helping a lot of my clients figure out layering for early not-that-chilly-yet fall, and my easy solution is to just try out your darker-colored dresses with different layering pieces. A blazer or a cardigan and some closed-toed shoes (as opposed to sandals) go a long way when trying to appear less summery.

oh yes fall hues! I’m really loving the dress being almost pinkish, goes so wel with the dark red!
ohhh rust velvet blazer — so pretty!!
I do love rust for the fall, and this color combo is so pretty.
But i’m still not ready for closed toes yet.
I love vintage blazers. I’m always on the hunt for them at thrift stores. That one fits so well and is the color is right on for fall.
I just purchased a rust colored blazer and wore it in NY.. I was kind of iffy about it, but I actually love that color for fall! It totally updates a more summery look.
Good idea!! I love trying to figure out more ways to appear fall-like when the temps are still hovering around 80 degrees. Not quite Austin heat, but still:)
Absolutely adorable!
I love both these colors together!
I love this! The colors are wonderful for fall and the blazer is awesome. Such a great outfit for a warm fall.
