Brown can be so beautiful, and surprisingly versatile…And speaking of versatile, I find that I keep using and using the bright accessories. When I assembled that family of items, I didn’t honestly expect that I would get so very much mileage from them!

Gorgeous! Brown is my black, and I love all these colors with it. I wish gorgeous brown dresses were as easy to find as black ones!
I could not agree more, although I do wear black with warm colors because it is, as you said, so much easier to find. That said, Eillen Fisher has a brown long sleeve dress that I splurged on late this summer. It is gorgeously simple and wears like a dream. I feel like I can handle just about anything when I wear it. :))
One of my all-time favorite color combinations is brown with a pale robin's egg blue; somehow it always makes brown look tenderly ready for spring.
I was thinking this would be gorgeous with the turquoise and coral accessories. We're thinking alike since turquoise and robin's egg blue are such close friends.
Even when the basic color differs from mine, I always benefit from your accessory choices. Thank you for including the retailer.
There are so many browns dark warm light and cool. I believe anyone can wear it plus it is great for travelling. Dirt is brown!

I am truly enjoying these monochromatic looks with accessories. They provide excellent food for thought! Well done, my friend!
Camel, olive, brown –my colors ! The accessories can be used with all of these-brilliant, brilliant, brilliant !
Oh, so exquisite! I looked all over for a dress like the one you feature. Not to be had anywhere, Frustrating that the world is so colour blind that black is everywhere and so few of the stores/manufacturers dare go outside their little black box. If anything shows up in 2 colours, one of them is invariably black, and if an item comes only in one "colour" it is always black. What a boring world in which we live, Sigh!
Brown!!! YES!!! My other favorite color. That Ralph Lauren dress is amazing.
