The color camel and camel hair coats will continue to be popular this fall. I love the color camel and especially paired with a bright, almost periwinkle blue. It makes me long for the blue, washed-silk shirt I bought years ago at Country Road Australia {Remember that store? They're opening an online boutique soon!} and also for the camel hair coat I wore in the 1970s that my father bought for me from The Darien Sport Shop. What a perfect classic that coat was—paired with a little black dress or worn-in jeans and a crisp white shirt. The revolving fashion wheel returns us to classics over and over again, but sometimes with decades in between.

I am now on the hunt for the color camel and blue combination wherever I can find it—it's a lovely duet that blends the summer perfectly into fall. Here is a little palette of fashion inspiration from around the Internet. And, how about turbans for fall? How utterly fabulous!

Oh Barbara you are reading my mind again. Once we get the green light that we are moving to a cold climate, I want to invest in a camel coat. I love your memories of those you've had, it's funny how I too remember the ones I've worn over the years since high school. I hope you had a good week? Summer is flying bye at a record speed this year. My blogging has fallen by the way-side I'm afraid. Wishing you a lovely evening and a peaceful Sunday. A big hug to you xx
ReplyDeleteHi dearest DT,
ReplyDeleteMy blogging has slowed down a bit too but I'm gearing up for fall and can't wait to be in touch, soon! I'll send a detailed chat to you. So great to see you here and lots of love and wishes for a great finish to our summer weekend! oxo B
Country Road is still going strong :) In fact they're opening an online boutique soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteThat's great to know!! I'd love their birch pleat-front harem pants, and can't wait until they open their online boutique. It's been years since they've been available in the states. Thanks for the tip ; )
so I have a camel hair Calvin of old to refurb for the winter. I love it too. pgt
