apparently, i wasn't the only one experiencing the pangs of mad men withdrawal.  this nyfw around, some of the biggest influencers gave nods to mod.  yes, it rhymes!

color

inspired by
this fence i saw while riding my bike home 
from a shiny new haircut

it's coming up on fall NYFW 
so let's all make a promise 
not to forgo the colors of summer 
for a life & closet of dreary, overcast tones.
mixing a ton of color works if you keep all of the shades either warm or cool, not both.

this works because the lines are kept simple & classic

via the world is sick so kiss me quick
make your wardrobe put in OT.  mix bright peep toes with neutral tights
via mod cloth
the other side of that coin is to make your tights the focus by bringing out the color in a summery item, like her flowy, floral top, & then grounding them with classic neutrals 
like a pinstripe or a solid in a more classic shape

keep the rest of the face almost bare & color liner is striking.  i'm personally quite fond of a very dark teal.
