It’s October 1st and Fall is upon us (ok, technically Fall starts on September 22), even in sunny Southern California! Here’s a little inspiration that’s definitely speaks to us here at Lily Absinthe:

James Tissot, October (1877)

It’s an interesting discovery, especially in light of a previous post we made, and here’s the color palette:

Finally, some dress inspiration from circa 1893:

Bourdereau Veron & Cie, Place de la Bourse, Paris, Day Dress, c. 1893; Kent State University Museum (1983.1.207 ab)

While the above colors are not traditionally considered “Fall colors,” but they seem to work well and gives us a fresh take on fall styles. 🙂
