Autumn Colors: Camel and Maroon

This autumn season I am striving for the perfect color palette. I think the shades camel, maroon, dusty rose, nude and brown all mix perfectly. Creating a wardrobe color palette is my goal and by starting off with a few shades as seasons go by I can branch out into different colors, ensuring the perfect mix-and-match wardrobe.

The beautiful new clothing brand Dezzal sent me over this Deep Red Lace Midi Dress and a Camel Longline Wool Coat to style. I wore this dress on my birthday (September 20th, woohooo!) and my fiancé Scott told me that it’s his new favorite. He told me it reminds him of Victorian dresses. Maybe without the giant pannier underneath. I love the romantic feel of the maroon color, the lace and the tulle. It’s such a pretty dress and I can’t wait until I can wear it again to a formal event or dinner.

With the camel coat thrown on the dress has a more casual feel. I can see myself wearing this outfit while shopping around downtown. I’ve been looking for the perfect lightweight camel coat and I have fallen in love with this one. The weather in North Carolina does not get that cold in the winter, so I’ve been trying to incorporate lighter jackets into my wardrobe, after all you can always layer up underneath! Stay tuned for more of my new palette’s color combinations. I’m excited to share pictures as my wardrobe develops.
