Brown for Fall 14 - YouLookFab Forum

I received an email from Nordstrom with a link to their new arrivals. As I was browsing through, I was pleased to see more new items in lovely shades of brown. Angie noted a comeback of brown recently:

I've been a big fan of brown since I was a teenager, and if you want to get concerned looks, just tell someone your favorite color is brown!

So, just for fun, I started a YLF collection of brown items that caught my eye. These aren't necessarily pieces I want (though I'm seriously considering the Vince Camuto top, in a couple months after I've recovered from NAS.)

Are you excited about brown for this fall? Have you found other great items in shades you like?

I am so excited about brown this Fall! Brown is one of my best colors.

Part of me wishes I would have bought the chocolate brown Kut from the Kloth jacket with faux leather but I'm losing weight. I won't be able to wear that jacket until November or later in my part of the world. I won't buy a smaller size until I am actually that size.

I love brown too. Especially chocolate brown. And that warm medium brown you see a lot of shoes and purses in (cognac?).

Bring on the brown! I'm all ready.

I'm always excited for brown!

Gorgeous, Nadya. And you look fab in shades of brown. Nice to see you post again. I missed you.

I'm so excited that brown is back for fall 2014! I think the cooler vibes from the black, grey and ink blue that have dominated the past several seasons have made me appreciate the warmth and cozy-ness of brown. Below are some of my favorite brown items from Nordstrom's Fall 2014 collection:

Michael by Michael Kors Shoulder Zip Stretch Knit Dress (Online Only)

$130.00 $49.98

Halogen Zip Front Leather Jacket (Regular & Petite)

Lee By Lee Angel Stone Bib Necklace (Nordstrom Exclusive)

$68.00 $24.97

Woot! Glad others are ready too, maybe we can keep it in the stores. Let's keep sharing our finds.

Fastkat: there will be another fab piece when you're ready to buy!

Angie:Thanks

LadyLilac: love those pieces!

Oh my, a brown capsule wardrobe is taking shape before my very eyes! Enjoy your brown, ladies!

I got these ponte knit skinny pants (NYDJ) in brown, from NAS, and I'm looking forward to wearing them. They are a very nice dark chocolate brown.

I'm so looking forward to the brown! I did buy myself a pair of dark brown flats, but I'm hoping to add some clothing pieces too.

The only shade of brown I can tolerate is cognac, but I am glad that there is more choice now for those who love the color.

I love browns on me too. I'm kind of wishing I had ordered that Halogen leather jacket in brown instead of the shimmery black. Do I trust myself to return the black if I order the brown before the price increase kicks in?

I had been wearing brown during the last few years, but I did not pull my brown pants out last year when I realized that no one else was wearing that color. I have been thinking about how I could work the new colors and bring brown back in again. I am usually very "matchy, matchy", but I am excited to try the new plan.

I considered adding brown pants but when I looked at my wardrobe as a whole, they just didn't fit...I haven't worn any brown for years, there wasn't much to pair them with. Since I am trying to limit the overall size of my wardrobe, I decided against bringing in a different color. I did however get a bag in cognac and a pair of dark brown boots. I will add a pair of boots in a camel or cognac shade but that will be it for me.

It is nice though to see brown back as an option for those who wear it.
