Love or Loathe: Dark Colors For Spring

By -
One of the strongest Spring/Summer 2009 runway trends was autumnal colors. Milan was especially dark and neutral. Brown, navy, burgundy, and black dominated the catwalks. In those shows, the brightest colors were neutral beige tones. I may feel like breaking out the burgundy in July, but since I haven't seen the sun in so long, right now I just want to celebrate with turquoise and coral. What do you think of this color trend? Would you buy into it?

Prada, Oscar de la Renta, and Vera Wang are thinking dark thoughts.

Paint it BLACK! I don't limit my colors (or non-colors) for any particular season. :) I was kinda surprised about the whole grey trend for spring...

I'm into the autumn colors for spring. Although I agree with you...celebrating warm weather with fun colors should NEVER be obsolete. Nonetheless, it was 28 degrees this morning so I pulled on my wine colored tights and my favorite brown booties. Also, a black crewneck sweater with a gold hoop necklace...a dark greenish corduroy mini skirt, and a pretty pink ribbon to pull back my hair. (Maybe the pink is the "summer part" waiting to fully blossom).

I like to play with colors so I don't like to assign seasons to them. However, on a nice, spring day, I usually end up in bright colors.

It's interesting that Spring 09 has autumn colors, and Fall 09 showed so many spring colors.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
