My new palette: Autumn on the Beach

Hi all,

I have been on and off the forum lately because of work and life commitments but I’ve had fun following along when I can!

I continue to enjoy earth tones on my wardrobe and working them in in an Urban Luxe way (my style descriptor). Ive found that monotone dressing - our at least combining several similar colors- helps me achieve this look and I’m having fun with it!

I’ve called my palette right now Autumn on the Beach - lots of rich, deep earthy tones mixed with muddy blues, mints and aquamarines and lighter sand and blush colors. No brights or highly contrasting colors (even earth tones) as that doesn’t feel Urban Luxe on me.

I bought the paprika Topshop top as well as a couple of pairs of relaxed fit will pants from club Monaco that are giving me the easier, clean silhouette that I crave.

Also i bought a couple of woven scarves from Roots - one in earth times and one in jewel tones - that are helping me pull outfits together.

Everything else is older or thrifted.

The last family pic is one of us voting! I’ve gone all monotone with sweater, overcoat and scarf in rust.

Would love to hear what you

You have KILLER style. Full-stop.

You rock cinnamon with the best of them! WOW on you. The brooches and necklaces add a fun dimension of sparkle. And your hair is absolutely gorgeous! I love it all

As Angie said Which CM pants did you buy? I was just in there and came home with 4 things (sweaters) , and am returning 3. Ugh. Everything had a mock or turtleneck, which I won't wear !

Janet

Everything Angie said! Beautiful colors on you and you’ve honed your style so well.

Roxanna

Aww, thanks everyone! I'm so glad that how I feel on the inside is coming out on the outside

Lisa - finds for pants are below. Usually I find CM pants teeny-tiny and made for those with no hips, but these were a surprising exception. I love the relaxed fit throguh the hip and thigh, and the stripe makes them nice and modern.

Aww, love the photo with your family! That palette is so good on you, especially the rust, and love your jewelry too!

Jaime

Adorable family shot! I love when you post, I always feel so inspired! My favorite for inspiration purposes is #8 because I have been playing with necklaces. My favorite for you looking fab is all of them though!

Helena

I was JUST about to rave about how gorgeous and effortlessly stylish you look in all these, and then you posted your sweet babies and now I'm going to rave about them instead. What lovely little faces; so, so sweet Hope they enjoyed voting with you!

My tween/teens were less impressed with me taking them ("We KNOW how democracy works Mother! *eyeroll* *eyeroll*) but were compensated with Timbits from the greeters

YLF as you always do and rust is definitely your colour!

Bijou

Roxanna - I have been doing Katerina's accessory challenge and so have really focused on how you compliment your outfit with fab and luxe accessories. You look wonderful in all of these, your use of scarves, brooches and necklaces (including the pearls) is just so inspired. You look radiant in the family shot - what a gorgeous family.

i remember going to the polls with my parents when i was a little one...made a huge impression on me, wonderful to see you and the family going to the polls together.
and as other's have commented, WOW rust/cinnamon is your color!
YLF

Thank you all so much - I love that I inspire you the way you inspire me!

I’ve been playing with Katerina’s accessories challenge too. I haven’t been wearing my jewelry as much so I decided to pull some necklaces out.

Jaime - I find your play with proportions and color so inspiring too - it pushes me out of my comfort zone.

Helena - you make me laugh! Might as well take them when they are little abs don’t know to sass back to me yet

Bijou - thank you so much ave I’m so glad you found it inspiring! I love the tweed blazer I’m wearing but the color doesn’t do me any favors, so I used the pearls and gold to bring some light Near my face. I like them layered together because I find it more interesting and fresh than just pearls.

Also - you inspire me too! Your post with the midi pencil skirts and dresses inspired me to get my own - it Feels like such a unique and fresh look!

Fabulous colors on you!

I LOVE this, Roxanna. I feel like each "evolving my wardrobe/palette" thread you post is even better than the last. I would love to be able to make my ideas about where I want my style to go come together as well as you do.

I really love the rust with the beach tones of blue and tans. An unexpected take on earth tones. Really creative.

And the little brooch at the neckline underneath the scarf is so cool! I don't wear crewnecks but nevertheless I'm going to see if I can copy that idea somehow.

I’m finding your looks more relaxed, less dainty these days, Roxanna. I quite liked your ladylike looks, but these here are also hitting a sweet spot! Relaxed but refined indeed.

Jane

That’s such a lovely family pic. I love the textures in the cinnamon waistcoat and jumper outfit and the tweed jacket is a beautiful fit.

Style Fan

Roxanna, I love the picture of your family. So sweet. Rust/cinnamon and blue are gorgeous together. Reminds me of the Autumn sky. I like that Topshop sweater. Perfect for your style. I will check it out when I am in T.O.

Beachy urban luxe fabness!:-) Love the textures, patterns, deep fat colors and maximal accessorizing - this hair suits you soo well!:-)

Katerina

I love your style, Roxanna. The theme palette you chose is gorgeous on you. The tonal/monotone outfits look indeed very luxurious. You are so clever in creating beautiful texture outfits perfectly accessorized. That particular shade of paprika looks fantastic with your colors. You are one of the lucky people who look gorgeous in earth tones as well as in shades of grey and cream.
I have a question for you. How long does it take to put together these wonderful combinations with accessories, to choose the right brooches and scarves and necklaces? I know that when I try, it takes sometimes a long time for me to get everything right (if I ever succeed :-))?
The family photo is adorable!

Well. Pearls are magical for all sorts of reasons....

Suz

Roxanna, you look SOOOOOOOO beautiful! LOVE the mix of textures and shine in these rich, yummy, autumn-beachy tones. You've found your fashion groove big time!

Those CM pants look awesome on you, too. I love pants like that, with a little but not extreme taper and some looseness at top. May have to investigate!
