Fall 2012 Color

Burgundy, maroon, wine... or what have you.

What do you think about this color for Fall?

I love it. You'll find me wearing a lot of this color in the coming months. I actually bought RIT dye in their wine shade back in June and have been waiting until Fall to do something fun with it. I'm thinking a pair of pants might be the ticket. Has anyone used the wine RIT dye? I want it to be a deep, cool red and not turn out too pinky. #499 on their site looks just about perfect, or is it time to calibrate my laptop screen? 

What are your opinions about my little dye project? Should I just go with the red shade that I already have? Help a sister out.

I'm not sure what the weather is doing these days. One day it feels like Spring is just around the corner... the next it's nearly freezing, and we're reminded that it's technically still Winter. Whatever end of the spectrum your temperatures are, I've thrown 2 outfits together that I'd wear in a heartbeat -- one for cooler weather and one for when things heat up:

I'm pretty obsessed with the color of the year: Tangerine Tango. It seems as though I'm naturally drawn to it. I've used it in many of my past Friday's Fancies outfits.

See, it just makes me so happy. :) Have a wonderful weekend, all. I'm in Virginia at one of my college roommate's weddings, livin' it up and enjoying some extra special girl-time. 

Also, today is the last day to enter our Shabby Apple giveaway for a $50 shop credit, so get to it!

It may not be your color... it definitely isn't the color that looks best on me, but I love wearing and layering with it. Here are some pretty picks to wear in this "barely there" color:

And speaking of nude, I am also a firm believer in having a collection of amazing art. Nudes are at the top of my list... maybe all of those art classes I took back in college are what turned me onto nude sketches.
