Top Bags of Fall Foliage: Legends of the Fall

Top Bags of Fall Foliage

Envision taking an afternoon drive through the scenic countryside in autumn: the grassy ground next to the sprawling road is filled with crunchy, crinkled leaves and the trees for miles explode with rich, harvest-worthy color. Sure, you don’t see too much of this where I live, but that doesn’t mean I don’t get seduced by ultimate fall foliage. Shades of burnt orange, golden rust, warm burgundy, natural tan, and chestnut brown: These colors are perfect for your fall wardrobe, and so fittingly, they’re the colors that fill the rich palette of fall.
