get jewel toned - pt. 1

i'm super excited that the color trend from spring/summer is sticking around for the fall/winter season. i've always been a fan of color, but for so long it seemed like all i had in my closet was shades of black, white, grey and browns. i started adding color to my closet over the summer and have a long list of items to get for fall.  now that summer is officially over (sorta... still pretty warm here in LA) its time to start adding the fall colors to my closet - jewel tones!

garnet -  this beautiful burgundy color is reminiscent of some of the produce that starts popping up in grocery stores in the fall (pomegranate & cranberries).  i love this color so much, it's hard to decide what garnet colored item i should add to my closet!

   


amethyst - i always see this violet colored type quartz stone used in jewelry and now the color is appearing in apparel, shoes, bags and scarves for the fall season.  the hue has quite a few different names this season, eggplant and plum are two of the most popular. 



4. rich & skinny legacy skinny jeans (already in my closet!)

carnelian - also know as rust, or burnt orange is one of my favorite colors this fall.  it goes really well with amethyst and sapphire, if you're wondering what to wear it with (or how i plan on wearing this color!)  



3. topshop pleated midi skirt
7. topshop open back skater dress

yes, i know there are some colors missing (emerald, sapphire, citrine)!  check back in a few days to see my picks for the rest of the jewel tones!

This is gorgeous inspiration! I'm totally enthralled with all the beautiful jewel tones making their way into stores right now. Burgundy is my all time favorite but I'm loving that pumpkin is creeping up on my list too.
