So, I had a few computer problems last week, which meant this post on brocade had to be postponed. I hope you don’t mind, but I thought I’d share it today.

Fall fashion is all about opulence this year. Brocade, embellishment and jewel tones made headlines in many of the shows. While the embellished pieces and rich colors are right up my alley, brocade is a bit of a departure for me. When I think of the fabric, I picture old, dated fashion and musty furniture pieces.

In researching this post, I came upon some images that had me rethinking my opinion. The little Zara peplum top and the photo of Jordana Brewster showed how fresh and pretty the fabric can be. While I’m still not sure it’s right for me, I’m starting to change my mind. Are you a fan of brocade?
