Fallen Yellow

I can see it.

Barren trees with naked twigs against a a cold blue sky. Gold and orange leaves floating playfully as gushes of wind blew them around. And then as easily as the Autumn wind came, it left, abruptly dropping them to land layers upon layers on the ground.

Yes, the autumn or fall season is here. While gloomy weather is ahead, there is still gold floating about everywhere. Perhaps a reminder from above that every sombre moment is just a pause before something as valuable as gold comes around?

Designers for the Fall/Winter season are quick to muck around with darker shades but the brilliant few actually get off the predictable road and present out-of-the ordinary shades to brighten the cold weather. Wouldn't you know it, my personal favourite, yellow, really perked up some pieces from Miu Miu (pictured above) and Marc Jacobs (pictured below).

I guess a Catherine D. collection will not be quite complete without at least one piece in this pick-me-up hue. The Chelsea Dress (below) is a beautiful piece with its extraordinary cut on French Knit fabric to its one-side ruching that gives it that edginess.

Take the cue from Miu Miu and Marc Jacobs. They know a thing or two about being fashionable. While they hug the colour yellow for Fall, you should show some love too and pick up a piece or two of yellow. Click on the Chelsea Dress pictured above to shop it.
