This fall’s clothing color palette promises to be a rich one, full of deep jewel tones perfect for layering or combining with neutrals that already live in our closets. One of my favorite options early on in the Fall 2015 releases is garnet. Not only is garnet my birthstone, this exquisite deep red can either be brought out to its full boldness or subdued into an almost neutral tone depending on the colors you pair it with in your outfit. It’s a color that works on everyone no matter what your skin tone or hair color!
Inside, some more of the fantastic currently out there and some outfit color combination ideas…
