Lately I've found myself shunning my usual pinks and purples for greys and reds. Perhaps because of the gigantic, fire-engine red men's cashmere pullover I found a few weeks ago at a vintage shop for 15 bucks, or the turning of the leaves; who knows. But the reds in my laceweight stash have been growing, little by little, and I've been looking to them more and more for inspiration. I love how evocative the color names are, and perfectly suited to each nuanced color.
