Tip Toe Through the Tulips...Come Fall?

With colors like vibrant flame, viridian green, heather fern and deep turquoise, how could one think "tulip" follows?  Well, it does, at least at J. Crew.  With the September catalog already in hand and new items popping up online for Autumn, who'd have imagined that this "Spring-like" color would end up being one favorite for Fall?  Thematically it makes a lot of sense since they shot this catalog in Saint Petersburg, Russia where beautiful little ballerinas stood graceful at the Mariinsky and Yakobson dance schools.  I love the pictures from this shoot, a little unexpected, especially the color palate, not for the dancers but for Fall.  Light gray, camel, white and "tulip" sweaters adorned their beautiful bodies.  The parallels of quality and perfection are synonymous with both the dancers and J. Crews standards of excellence.  I am a true collector of their cashmere, so when I was moved with these lovely colors, I thought, "Why not?" and was immediately drawn to the "tulip" color especially in the boyfriend cardigan.  But that sweater came in like a lion and out like a lamb!  GONE in that style so I had to opt for the basic v-neck style.  Am sharing a couple of the shoot's photos thanks to jenniferscreams.com, thank you!  Never thought this would be a favorite Fall color of mine, but it goes beautifully with just about everything from camel skirts to pairing with a black dress.  Love.  And if your are crazy for this color theme, will also share my favorite, pink lipstick from Nars called Schiap, semi matte and gives a major pop of color without looking neon.  Is even more beautiful after I use a light bronzer on my cheekbones, forehead and chin.
