    Rust has always been one of my favorite colors and I do not think I have ever paired it with gray…thanks for the ideas, Janice. I am going to do this during this week! Stay warm!!

    My favorite colors of the season come from the leaves and environment too. Forgive my ignorance but is that a photograph of Chicago?

      Yes – it was taken in a very newly developed area of the city called Lake Shore East. I walk through the park there almost every day…

    I haven't worn rust for years. I do like how you have upped the ante here and made it look so elegant with the grey. You really must be having fun!

    I'd already packed my Thanksgiving suitcase with these colors! Only wish I could toss in that perfect Hermes scarf. :)

    Lovely stuff! I wear a lot of grey but no rust colours. Maybe I could get away with those trousers…

    Gorgeous as usual. My only problem is that too many of these colour combinations appeal to the very core of my soul, the way you do them. I am having NO luck narrowing down my own choices.

    I’m seeing this post eight years after the fact and feel compelled to write that this is one of the handsomest and sophisticated colour schemes I’ve ever seen! LOVE!!!
