I Want All Things Merlot, Butter Yellow, and Plaid This Fall—33 Arrivals Speaking My Language
@chloekathbutler

This may be a controversial take for September, but I am full steam ahead on all things fall. While many aim to extend the summer vibes into this month, I'll admit I'm already ordering pumpkin spice lattes and shopping for new cashmere (sue me!). Fall never feels long enough in my book, and if you're still reading this, you probably agree. So, to kick-start this season, I'm sharing the newest arrivals from brands like Old Navy, Banana Republic, and Levi's® that capture the current color and print trends of the season. Butter yellow, merlot, and chocolate brown are returning after a great run last year, while khaki green and navy blue are new additions I'm incorporating. And for prints, get ready to see leopard, snake, and plaid everywhere. To all my fall fashion lovers, please enjoy my latest finds.
