Falling for Friday!

Ladies!  

Hello!  I had an amazing Labor Day weekend in the Traverse City area! (Take your Left hand and put it out in front of you, Traverse City is in the pinky of my mitten state, check it out here!)

The weekend was for my cousin's wedding. She was married atop a hill overlooking trees that covered the valley below to the hill above us.  It was GORGEOUS!  This picture shows what a few of the local land looked like, only it's still very green right now.

After the wedding a few of us started talking about how amazing the view will be in a few short weeks. Michigan's trees are ready to start showing their best colors!  

From Green to Yellow to Orange to Red... the treeline will be bursting forth with the most spectacular season change of the year!   Can you tell that Fall is my favorite change?  *big smile*  

In honor of Fall coming and the leaves changing I wanted to share YOUR best Fall Leaf Colors to help you feel a little excited as the seasons start to change.   This isn't the trend report, just a colorful journey into Fall (which by the way doesn't officially start for 2 more weeks!)

  

Ladies.  If you don't know your Dominant Color Characteristics please take the survey!

ALSO!  Grab your color swatches and come along this color journey.

Soft:  Hunter Greens and Browns are great neutrals!  Red will let you shine!

Light: Your best Fall Leaf color is Red!  As a light you should keep to the lighter side of color.  If you want to go with greens keep them more teal and a little lighter. 

Warm: Oooh!  Brown, Red, deep Orange, medium Green and Marigold Yellow… the Fall Leaf colors are at your hands!  Check your swatches for exact colors!

Cool: Loving the bright dark Green, bright Red and Maroon Red!  Dark Espresso Brown is a beautiful neutral!

Deep:  My dear Deep… your BEST colors are ALL the Fall Leaf colors!  Hunter Greens, Reds of all shades, Yellows, and Orange.  Browns of all shades are beautiful neutrals!  As long as you keep these on the deeper side you are all set!

Clear: Keep these deep and bright, Red, Green and Orange!  Oh my dear Clear... go out and brighten your neutral basics and mirror nature's beautiful, colorful joy!

What are your favorite fall colors to wear?  What are your favorite Fall activities?  Please share!

Have fun with these colors!

P.S.  If you have never seen this change of seasons I will recommend this trip!  Not only are the leaves changing colors, but the apples are coming into season!  Apple cider, pumpkin picking, corn mazes and the smell of outdoors cooling... it's simply a time where nature can JOYFULLY show their true colors.

P.P.S.  Traverse City has amazing views from two peninsulas, the tallest beach (Sleeping Bear Dunes), and wine country (especially if you love whites and not so harsh reds).  It is a family friendly area with plenty to do and beautiful enough to truly refresh and relax.  

Edited to Add Pictures from my Labor Day weekend:
