Lichen Green

Samba is the brightest color for fall and is similar to a bright cherry red. But since red is a loud color, be sure to limit the number of red accessories in one outfit. ModCloth's vegan leather carryall makes a huge statement, while the ballet flats can add just a splash of color needed to complete a look.

Emerald
