Well, friends this is the first official week of fall and I am already finding myself “falling” right in line (I know… that was really bad… sorry, I just couldn’t resist!). Seriously though, I’ve definitely been mentally making the transition to cooler weather, even before this official start of the autumn season. For weeks now, I’ve been heading over to the cooler weather section of my closet, as I have been getting more and more bored with my summer duds!
Now, if you haven’t already noticed, blue is going to be a big on trend color for this fall. If you think about it, this regal hue was all over the runways and is certainly showing up in many collections and looks in the stores. In fact, many celebrity fashionistas rocked it for the recent Emmy Awards. I’m telling you, blue may be the new black! And the thing I love about this color is all of the variations available…. from navy to cobalt to baby blues. It is such an elegant and sophisticated color and looks great on just about everyone.
I picked up this particular dress from Ann Taylor Loft purely because it said autumn to me. I loved the saddle colored accents and decided to pair it with a navy print button down just to add a little more pizazz.
Are you falling for blues this autumn?
What I’m Wearing: Loft Dress, Gap Button Down, 9 Boutique Heels, Gucci Boston Purse
Where Am I: Lakepoint Center
Love your outfit!

Loving the dress. Ann Taylor makes really versatile and great quality clothing. The contrast between the blue of the fabric and the tan of the trim adds dimension to it.
Thanks K!! I love Ann Taylor… one of my favorite places to shop right now!!

Love this dressed with the shirt layered underneath! I have been obsessed with cobalt blue since last year and I went to the mall today and it was everywhere! The temptations!!!

Blue is definitely the new black. I just love all the different shades of blue that have been showing up on the runway and in stores. I love the contrast of your top and dress. Great look!!!:)

Thanks Jackie! I’ve actually never really been a big fan of blue in the past but I am loving it right now!!

Navy blue has been my favorite “neutral” color for years now, so I guess my wardrobe will be “on trend” this season! 😉
I’ll have to take a cue from you and try to incorporate more blouses layered underneath dresses. Your look is fun and chic!
Thanks girl!

Great colors for fall, love the layering and the heels!

Oh yeah, I’m totally falling for blues this season (this whole year actually…)! Love how you layered the dress over the printed top, it just gives it a special little somethin’ somethin’! And I know you have mentioned this before in your post about nude pumps, but I am seriously impressed by how well this pair matches your skin tone. Nice look Kenya!
