Fall is definitely rolling in now. The leaves are showing off their colors while floating to their final resting places. Temperatures are only rising to the 60s during the day.

I used to go to grad school with a guy who wore this pink polo shirt quite frequently. He stood around 6’7” with an extremely fair, Irish-American complexion. The shirt was bright, neon, and electric. I mean, it was a bit much. Knowing what colors work with your skin tone is a huge asset in building your personal style. I also think with colors like pink, balance and contrast are crucial. Pink works extremely well with blues and greens. Those were the three colors my wife and I used at our wedding, and there’s no way I’m going to tell her she’s wrong.
