It’s Feeling Like Fall…🍂
When I had my Color and Style analysis at Red Leopard over the summer, I was delighted to find that several colors I love and think of as fall colors are actually in my Spring palette. Warm ochre, rust, and chocolate brown were among my “best” colors! (As long as they have a yellow undertone and aren’t too muted/muddy.)
Jacket (similar) | Necklace | Tee | Watch | Bag | Jeans | Boots
Plus options: Jacket | Tee | Jeans
This leather jacket was one of the first things I found that was bang on with my new palette. I picked it up during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. It’s now sold out, but here are a few similar pieces:
I’ve been wearing this tee so much I purchased a second as backup! It’s one of the few “regular” sized tees I’ve found lately that isn’t too long for me. (This is the other one.)
Other than the browns/rusts/ochres, I haven’t found much clothing this season in my color palette and in styles that work for me. So I’ve built my fall wardrobe mostly around these colors. I’ve shopped more but bought less this fall. My wardrobe is smaller, but with (almost) everything in coordinating colors, it’s easier to style and re-mix what I have. I’m also re-focusing on shoes and accessories for interest and variety.
I bought these boots when they were introduced last fall. They’re very comfortable, and coordinate beautifully with the colors in my palette.
What are your favorite colors to wear this season?

Your palette suits you so well!
You look amazing! This is a fabulous look for you.
These colors look fantastic on you!
I enjoy all of your posts but especially love the ones where you are the star! You look wonderful!! I recently received a catalog from Talbot’s and there was a spread devoted to an equestrian theme. The clothes are beautiful and the colors look to be in your new palette. Thought you might like to check it out!
Susan you look fabulous in your new palette!!
The colours look great on you, and that jacket style is a winner!
I always love your outfit shots. And this jacket is so so so good.
I am wondering, would a chocolate brown work for the shoes with the jacket? Probably have to switch out the bag tho. Would you consider a pale denim blue bag for contrast? It would essentially be a neutral with your jeans. I know that’s not strictly your palette, but I admit I often like to wear one item/splash of color in a warm tone to contrast/compliment my cool tones.
Just thinking out loud, having taken a color journey myself upon retirement. Huh:).
Thanks, Lisa! I’m still looking for the perfect aqua bag to wear with this jacket. 😉
This is cool because I could just take the whole look and switch it to my Winter colours with a navy striped top, red leather jacket, red boots, navy bag or go red stripe/black jacket/ black boots and a red bag. I imagine others could do the same with their ‘colours’ too!
My 94 yr old Dad’s mantra is ‘adopt BUT adapt’ it works!! Fie on those who cast shade because “Susan, I simply can’t wear ANYTHING you show anymore!!”
Yes, you can.
Well said!
The whole outfit is great! The colors and the more fitted silhouette suit you perfectly.
I wear any and all colors, neutrals, spicy, etc.. and I’m adding soft pink/blush this fall as the color is very flattering to one’s complexion.
Autumn colors are so beautiful! I wished I was a autumn type!
You took the challenge of dressing outside the box. Now I’m taking it, too. If a color appeals to me, I hold it up under my face to see if it will work. Usually it appeals to me because it will work. Today I ended up with two items that I probably would have dismissed as “not my colors” before. The mirror is the judge.
I love the entire outfit, especially the color of that jacket, so much on you. What did they actually call that color? I see “luscious butterscotch” whenever you show that jacket.
The color analysis really helped transform you. The “old Susan” would probably have chosen a black or other neutral jacket. You go girl!
Hi Susan,
I have a ? re: the Everlane Day Boot. Ordered the brick color and love the softness of the leather ; however , the dye on both heels and one toe tip is already showing wear. ( Just out of the box ) Are you noticing that with yours?
Love your color adventure and look forward to all of your posts !
So looking forward to the Wine Country Newsletter !
Hi Janice, thanks! I have not noticed that with mine. You may want to contact Everlane customer service and let them know. The Wine Country Newsletter was sent out last week. If you didn’t receive it, let me know and I’ll re-send to you.
Thanks Susan, I will contact them.
I haven’t received the the Newsletter. If it was supposed to come via email I didn’t receive it so please do resend it .
Thanks !!!
Susan,
Sorry for the confusion. I just found it in my “Junkmail ” file . Don’t know how that happened but I’m quite sure it happened on my end.
It looks great and now I want to plan a trip.
Thanks !!!
