Fall Colors

I have been dreaming of fall since that very odd week in March when it was 90 degrees here in Michigan. I live for fall. School is starting back up, the leaves change colors, football season starts. All the good stuff happens in the fall!


The best part is being able to wear long sleeves and sweaters. My friends will tell you I am slightly obsessed with cardigans. How many is too many? I have 20 in my closet right now and that is not even all of them. In my opinion, you need to have one in every color!

Anyway, one of my other favorite parts about fall is the dark colors. "Oxblood" or burgandy is so in this fall season! I just had to add it to my wardrobe. Last weekend I got a pair of pants from LandsEnd in the perfect shade. And even better.... the perfect LENGTH!!! 




They are little more purpley in person. The shade is perfect to wear all through out fall. Landsend really hits the spot with their petite clothing too. Being only 5 feet tall, it is always really hard to find the right length pants, skirts, or dresses. These pants in petites are exactly the right length. I couldn't ask for anything better!

I also love to wear seasonal colors in my nail polish. Besides my cardigan obsession, I have a serious obsession with nail polish. I have probably over 100 different bottles, all different colors and brands. But my fall and winter go-to has always been OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark. When I took it out of my jar this week to use it, I was really sad to find out that it had become chunky. My next alternative is OPI's Black Cherry Chutney. It is a very similar shade but has some gold tones in it. Perfect for Fall!

Do you have a favorite way to wear your go-to fall colors??
