If you’re lucky enough to live anywhere but Florida, you’re actually experiencing the change of seasons. Lucky you. Here in Florida, we hardly notice the changing of the leaves or the slight change in temperature. But who’s to say us Florida women can’t bring the colors reminiscent of autumn’s foliage to our fall-deprived state? You probably already have your muddled brown, pumpkin oranges and burgundy reds stocked in your closet, so make the comeback for rust.

Rust is a great color for fall ensembles. However, if you’re not bold enough for the monochromatic look (and aren’t too fond of looking like a huge piece of rusting metal), pair your rust pieces with neutrals, khakis, dark browns, and even metallics. You can even make a statement by mixing rust with other bright fall colors, such as jade and teal (just make sure not to over-do it, as it can be a blinding eyesore). Opt for small accessories and jewelry in these bright colors to brighten an otherwise somber autumn ensemble.
