Loving Burgundy

Burgundy is a color that has been catching my eye this fall. The color is back with a bang and it's a really nice fall hue. You all know about my burgundy skinnies which I've worn many times.  I've been swooning over shoes, a pencil skirt and a bag in that color. Here are a few of my favorite and affordable burgundy picks. The color goes well with cobalt, navy, mustard, black, beige and grey. You could also go monochromatic; for example, think of wearing the dress with the wedges, with a grey or mustard clutch. Are you still in love with burgundy?

Vested

I'm not even sure if this vest is out dated or not. The buttons make it feel that way; but it works well for me as a layering piece.

Burgundy Skinnies Five Ways

The first pair of colored skinny jeans I got were these burgundy skinnies. Getting them was my way of easing into the colored skinnies trend. Admit it, you all follow trends too right?  I've worn them many many times and I still love the color and fit. They are from Target and they've held up well. Target pants are sold by fit so you will always find the right pants to fit your shape. I have a big mid section and small hips, so the mid rise, straight thigh (Fit 3) is my fit.

Yellow Apples and Layers

It's beginning to look like fall over here. It's a little chilly and still cloudy.  I really don't want the summer to be over.

Layering this outfit with a cardigan helped to conceal my heavy top, streamline my shape and resulted in a more polished look.

Printed Pants

I was brave enough to finally try printed pants this summer. This is the third time I'm wearing them since I got them and I'm getting comfortable with them...and still loving my baseball tee. (First worn here). It rained all weekend here and we did not see the sun for about four days so it has been really hard taking outfit pictures.
