My Growing Autumn/Winter Earth Toned Wardrobe

When you see it in a collection like this, and not itemized in my closet - it's a larger chunk of my wardrobe than I thought.

NICE change for me.

Wow, this is quite a contrast! The earth tones really feel so seasonal and just right. Are you going to be extensively mixing these pieces in each outfit? Or using sour brights mostly as accents?

Sara L.

So fun to see everything laid out like this. I wish I was this organized about my wardrobe.

Angie

Ginger, I know. I LOVE the contrast, and am giving my wardrobe a big hug. I enjoy that there are very few black pieces in my wardrobe too. What do you mean by "just right"? To answer your question, both. I like chartreuse and cream with olive, as well as navy, ink blue, black and gold. Might throw in some tomato and fuchsia.

(And I wear pastels, as well as black & white. Got it all covered, apart from jewel tones).

Sara, you can have your wardrobe organized on Finds too.

Thistle

Veteran

So pretty! I'm drawn to both, though I don't have the complexion to pull for the brights.

Your earth tones collection looks a lot like my wardrobe. I love those earthy colors, but I mix mine with deep berries, dusty blues, and black.

Ginger

Veteran

These will be great combinations on you! I really like how you embrace light/dark or pastel/rich contrasts. I guess by "just right" I mean how traditionally seasonal the earth tones are. They are personally difficult for me to wear, but I appreciate them and how you wear them. Especially mixing them with sour brights.

Joyce B

Veteran

Nice capsules! Are you going to mix some items of one capsule with the other? I think they would all work nicely.
You will not get bored for sure.

Marilyn

Love that first collection, Angie. I'm trying to get more olive into my wardrobe as well. I wish cocoa brown was on trend. It's a colour that I wear well and really like.....so hard to find though.

Anonymous

What a fantastic collection of clothes you have - you pro, you! It's a really interesting contrast between the two collections, yet they still look they belong to the same person. I'm looking forward to seeing/hearing what you do with your olive pieces this fall - these are right up my alley.

Really beautiful Angie!

JAileen

This is so surprising! Earth tones were my bag, for years, before I went grey. I look forward to seeing the outfits you make.

Style Fan

I love the Earth tone collection. That could be my wardrobe. I also am looking forward to hearing more about it.

Style Fan, QUEEN Earth Tones, you make me smile.

JAileen, YES. Your colour palette changes when your hair goes grey. Good thing that. A fun challenge and change.

Thanks, Rachy, and Thistle.

Jenn, I dare you to wear burnt orange.

Ginger, thanks for chiming back in. But as a red head you ROCK earth tones.

Lisap, thanks for the kind words. I guess I can't help but choose crisp, clean and tidy garments despite the colour. Looking forward to the olive fest.

Joyce, yes and no. I like chartreuse, citron and cream with olive, as well as navy, ink blue, black and gold. Might throw in some tomato and fuchsia. (Wore olive with blush and white in the Summer).

Marilyn, brown is going to have its moment. Stay tuned.

It almost looks like you are building a wardrobe for me, Angie. But then the sour brights bring it back to you.

Aquamarine

Veteran

I'd love to see these in action. Did you stop posting your own outfits on the first of the month?

Tanya

Veteran

Your Earth-toned capsule is stellar, Angie. I am very curious to see how you are going to put your fall outfits together.

I prefer a smaller dose of earth toned items, mainly to add unexpected contrast to my cool-toned wardrobe, e.g. cognac with denim, rust with navy etc. I too have gotten a couple of olive toned items in this transitional period, but fewer than you and I am leaning towards greyer versions of olive. It would be fun to find a cooler olive toned sweater.

rachylou

Veteran

The rich tones with your blond hair are very striking.

Angie

Fashion Stylist

Aww, thanks, Rachy. Having pink hair might mess up my wardrobe.

Tanya, makes sense. You wear warm with cool with the best of them. And like Inge, grey olives look fab on you.

Aquamarine, for now - yes. No more outfit pics on the blog, (thanks for asking). YLF was never about me and my style - it was about YOU and YOUR style. My own outfits aren't important. I'm not a fashion blogger who posts her daily looks. I'm a fashion stylist who shares tangible and helpful information with an engaged social community. Occasionally, you'll see an outfit in Instagram, or here on the forum. Hope that makes sense.

Sharan, busted. I'm building a wardrobe for you.

Mac

Veteran

Exciting! I love earth tones and, as you know, think your brown spectacles are simply smashing on you. I look forward to seeing you model lots more earth toned items, in the future, pretty Angie!

Jaime

Wow Angie, this is the most inspiring reason to catalog my wardrobe I have ever seen. Gorgeous, and as Lisa says, so contrasting yet all so you.

DonnaF

Veteran

Without you, I never would think to combine earth tones with sour brights. Just looking at the earth toned items makes me feel so heavy. . .until I view your sour brights which brings me back to happy! Food for thought. I rather like cool brown and cognac, but I never see actual (Petite) clothing in those colors. Or nail polish.

amiable

Veteran

Gorgeous! I love earth tones and jewel tones. I wonder if those could work as well as your earth tones and sour brights....

always trying

Veteran

Love your earth tone pieces-and also the plaid bomber.

Jenn

Angie, what's the difference between burnt orange and rust? I suspect I have the latter in my wardrobe, but not the former.

rachylou

Veteran

Can't have it all, Angie, can't have it all

Joy

Veteran

It looks like earth tones will mix nicely with sour brights ...citron, fuchsia, or tomato and olive and/ or any of the neutrals.

Anonymous

WOW. I am just speechless.

Sheila

Veteran

I love this! But how does one do this (I mean, get one's own wardrobe posted onto Finds)?

Do you photograph each item that's not currently available for sale? And does one do this using a white background, or is there some app that converts photos to look this way?

Sorry to be such a dunce about this...is there an explanation already posted on YLF about how to go about this? Thanks in advance for any help.
