Hitting up the pumpkin patch is easily my most favourite fall activity, not only because it's fun to frolic through the fields of orange, but because it gives me
all of the outfit inspiration. My blogger bestie Maggie (aka,
The Brash Brunette), and I took a little roadtrip outside of the city to
Abby Hill Farms this past weekend, and while I didn't bring any gourds home with me, I still have the colour palette from the patch on my mind.

It's hard not to be inspired by all the colours this time of year. From the pumpkins to the cornstalks, there's so many hues you can pull from the patch to add to your wardrobe. For example, I look at the glossy candy apples and think of trendy patent red boots. Or I'm reminded of vibrant floral patterns from the many colours of the corn. You can easily look at anything here and determine which colours to pair together for your next look, because they all play so well together!

I'm always drawn to rich burgundies and deep orange tones, which you can see was plentiful around the farm. Some might say these shades would clash with my fuschia pink hair, but I've never been one to play by the rules anyway. It's all the same colour family, so don't be afraid to play with monochromatic looks for a very cohesive look.

When I spotted this top, I knew it would satisfy my autumn cravings and wear well with a ton of pieces in my closet. If you can believe it, this blouse is actually from the
pajama section of Joe Fresh (it also comes in 3 other colour ways, and yes I need them all)!
And can we talk about florals for fall? Groundbreaking - Seriously! It's a classic trend warmed up by the shades of the season, as seen on Maggie and I.

Have you made a trip to the pumpkin patch this season?
Abby Hill Farms is just a 25 minute drive from downtown Ottawa, and it's totally worth the trip! They have all the gourds and squash you can carry, plus a petting zoo for the little ones! I can't wait to take my future family here for years to come!
