Green seems big this season.  Emerald, jade, and evergreen are springing from racks like leaves.  Then again, I've been seeing lots of burgundy too.  So maybe it's more of a Christmas thing and not a trend.  Either way, I'm in.

I especially love when green winks at western, like in my equestrian blouse.  When I saw it in Boscov's, I was immediately transported back to the '90s.  Tween me had at least one turtleneck sporting a stable motif, and I thought it was all the rage.  So I bought the blouse.  Because it was fun and fed that nostalgia.  Even if it also brought back memories of getting made fun of for my outfits -- and for saying things like "all the rage."  It was a nice reminder that my world has grown so much since then.

And that believing in your style -- and yourself -- is the happy trail Holy Grail.

I totally love how you stacked your fall leaf barrettes!! The necklaces in your signature color is the perfect touch, too. πŸ’› Yellow with burgundy is a lovely fall combination, and your cameo necklace is beautiful! I've always loved that painting (it must appeal to us readers!). The Boscov's blouse goes so beautifully with your necklace too, like they were made to be worn together. Cheers to believing in one's style, and oneself! πŸ’“
