SUMMER IS NEARLY OVER. Time to hide away all your colorful clothes and start dressing like Wednesday Adams.
…or is it? Eden Prairie fashionista and Bella Gina Boutique proprietor Gina Pellegrini would have you think otherwise. Don’t start dressing like the color palette from a Nine Inch Nails music video just yet, she suggests. Welcome the arrival of Libra season in a vibrant ensemble instead!
“By the time spring arrives, our customers have had it up to here with the drab,” said Gina, motioning very high. “That’s partly because they began wearing winter’s doom-and-gloom blacks and grays way too soon. I wish they’d known they could dress colorfully deep into autumn!
“If you’re finally ready to pizazz up your fall wardrobe, then you’ve picked the right year to do it. Earth tones like sage, cocoa powder, and muted clay will all take center stage in 2026 – but so too will cheerful, unexpected brights.
“Lime. Honeydew. Fuchsia. Royal blue. More shades of purple than I’ve ever seen before. I’ve waited years for fall colors like these. At long last! We ladies will no longer come in distant second to foliage.
“You can tastefully combine any of these accents with something austere and achromatic. Even the littlest splash of color will help you hold on to a whole lot more sunshine.
“We’re seeing big things from purses this fall, too – literally. The trend toward small accessories has done an about-face, bringing more generously sized handbags with it. We’re also in a resurgence of ‘70s flair: ruffles, rider belts, tiered sleeves, and, of course, bell bottoms.”
Bold. Memorable. Unique. You. Bella Gina Boutique’s expertly curated fashions are all of these. They’d probably even look good on me, and I am a big, gross man.
