Autumn tones

I'm doing research for the next Westender shoot so in the middle of checking out what the shops have in stock just now.  They're very full of what can most definitely be called autumn shades - basically you're stuffed if you don't like brown.

To be honest (and in my own opinion) it's terrible samey,and uninspiring.  OK, it's not my preferred colour palette but it is too much to walk the length of Braehead shopping centre and see so much brown - it's a bit like walking through a wood full of bare trees - a bit too drab.




Wallis, H&M and M&S rails are too lacking in anything that seems exciting to me


Bonus points for M&S for jazzing it up a bit in their displays


I won spot the bright colour!!


TopShop at least manage to make it look fun with short skirts and jackets in cool materials.


River Island wins the window display round, and their shop floor was by far the brightest and most interesting of every shop in the centre.


Breaking up the brown


Some lovely hot pink to cheer things up, and I love the Showaddywaddy suits!


RI have some fab monochrome edging it's way in 




Oasis and Warehouse -  only if you like brown, and a bit of rustiness!


Next also had a far more inspiring and diverse selection laid out.


So, there we have a huge variety of warm toned clothes which can be brightened up with a dash of pink and red to put some life into the look.  There are brighter and more subdued shades of colours to add to the outfit.  Seek and you shall find.
