COLOUR CRUSH | RUST

If you’re following me on Instagram, you probably saw this post coming. Lately I’ve been obsessed with all things rust, so I today I thought I would share a few of my favourite pieces with you! I think rust is such a beautiful, warm, inviting colour, while still acting as a neutral — perfect for fall! This post is the first installment in my COLOUR CRUSH series, where I highlight the colour of the moment and show you how to work it into your personal style.

COLOUR CRUSH | RUST


1. Dolman Shift Dress

C $29.90 

Colour Crush | Rust | Dolman Shift Dress Forever21 // JustineCelina.com

I really love this versatile shift dress from Forever 21! It’s such a cute layering piece, and a great staple to transition your wardrobe from summer into fall. I love it so much, I also purchased is in slate blue. I’ve worn it quite a few times, but my favourite look was with tan fringe booties, a long cream knit sweater, and a hand tooled vintage saddle bag. The dress has a bit of a 60’s / 70’s vibe to it, and would also look great with dark leggings, pumps and a blazer for the office.

2. Plaid Blanket Scarf

C $29.95 (currently on sale for 30% off this price!)

I live in blanket scarves in the fall, and my favourite ones are from Garage Clothing. It’s a store I never shopped at until I went there with my little sister (she loves it) — I was surprised at the quality for the price, and I always seem to find great staples. They make my favourite basic tees, super soft plaid shirts, and these gorgeous plaid blanket scarves. This one has such a beautiful fall palette, and it’s so big you can also wear it as a poncho, or use at as a blanket! I purchased a forest green scarf last fall, and I get so many compliments on it.


3. Satin Pleated Midi Skirt

C $105.00

I’m drooling over this pleated midi skirt from Topshop! I think the luxe texture of the skirt would pair so well with knits and chunkier fall sweaters. I love midi skirts because they pair well with all different kinds of tops, and the rust hue acts as a nice neutral base for fall earth tones. If you’re looking to treat yourself to an investment piece this fall, try this luxurious silk skirt!


4. Mid Heel Combined Court Shoe

C $69.90

Colour Crush | Rust // JustineCelina.com

I’ve mentioned this on the blog before, but I think Zara makes some of the best quality shoes you can buy for the money. The combo of rust, suede, black and a subtle snakeskin print make them really versatile and interesting. I like the 70’s feeling they have (I would have loved to be my age in the 70’s!). And, they’re really comfortable — I’ve been getting a ton of wear of out them. To see how I styled them, check out my Fall Style Staples post.

5. Magical Thinking Arba Woven Pillow

C $89.00

Colour Crush | Rust | Magical Thinking Arba Woven Pillow Urban Outfitters // JustineCelina.com

I like to change my decor up seasonally, and I know I can’t be the only one! I don’t go totally nuts, but I think pillows are a great way to change the feeling of your space with minimal cost, and minimal commitment. These woven pillows from Urban Outfitters bring a little bit of rust into the mix while still coordinating with almost any colour scheme. I love organic texture, tassels, and pop of turquoise!


6. Cascade Effect Rust Orange Floppy Hat

US $27.00

Colour Crush | Rust | Cascade Effect Rust Orange Floppy Hat Lulu*s // JustineCelina.com

I’m really into oversized hats this fall! This one is a classic shape, and the most beautiful tone of rust. I think the contrast of rust against brunette hair is so flattering, but I could also see this working well for blondes (or red heads, for a more monochromatic look). Hats are great to throw on when you don’t feel like washing your hair (guilty!), but still want to look polished and add a bit of mystery.


7. Country Glamour Dark Rust Fringe Booties

US $39.00

These boots are a deeper rust, and they incorporate another one of my favourite trends — fringe (read more about my obsession with fringe here)! I have a couple of similar pairs from Forever 21 with less fringe and a braided texture, and I wear them so much. I really like the warmth and movement that these rust booties add to an outfit. Plus, the heel looks really comfortable!


8. Big City Dreams Rust Red Jumpsuit

US $46.00

Colour Crush | Rust | Big City Dreams Rust Red Jumpsuit Lulu*s // JustineCelina.com

How cute is this rust jumpsuit from Lulu*s? It’s a perfect transition piece from summer to fall, and I think it would pair well with oversized cardigans, knits, and even blazers. Or, throw it on with a leather jacket for an edgier look. You could also style it similarly to the way the model is wearing it in the summer. And doesn’t it look so comfortable? Jumpsuits are such a fun way to add some style to your wardrobe, while being really easy to wear.

    […] I mentioned this in my last fashion post, but I would never have shopped at Garage Clothing unless I went there one day with my little sister (it’s one of her favourite stores!). Their demographic skews very young, so I thought the clothing would be too young for me, and I wasn’t sure about the quality. I was wrong! I’ve been shopping there for about a year now — I swear they have the best staples, and the quality for the price is unbeatable. I’ve purchased quite a few pieces there that I’ve been loving this fall, like this poncho (which actually just sold out as I was editing this post, but I’ve linked a similar one from Lulu*s here, and a similar one from Garage here). You’ll definitely be seeing more from Garage Clothing this fall on the blog! I’ve already mentioned their plaid blanket scarves in this post. […]
