Fashion Inspiration : Dark Colors

Autumn is the time for harvest, but it is also symbolic of melancholy. It is a time of grey skies, colder weather, and the withering leafs on the trees. With the evocation of these emotions comes the wearing of darker & richer colors – blacks, wines, burgundy, reds, chocolate browns…the color palette is almost endless. I find myself inspired by the beautiful art work, poetry…

…and of course, the expression through fashion. The ladies I’ve selected as my inspiration this month really portray the autumnal spirit in such a beautiful & romantic way.



What inspires you during autumn?

    I certainly am inspired by the changing foliage… and the cloudy skies. I want to wear more greys and black, but now that I see your insipration pics, I wanna wear maroons and blues!

  9. I hadn’t heard of some of these blogs so I’m excited to go check them out! Thank you!

    In my country we are actually in Spring at the moment so my inspirations are different to yours – lots of bright colours, denim, light layers, hats and all things sunny!
