As I mentioned in my earlier post entitled "Fall Fashion Preview", the big color for this season is burgandy. Or wine. Or oxblood. Or whatever you want to call it. But you know what I'm talking about, right? I love this color and I always have. It is, in my opinion, a staple color for every Fall season. I created a few outfits on Polyvore as an example of how I would incorporate this color in an outfit.
The above look pairs a chambray oxford style shirt with colored denim "skinnies". Add a thin leopard belt, nude booties that feature a studded heel and a black quilted leather handbag and you get a look that has great texture to it. All the gold accents really showcase the richness of the color and gives the look a rock 'n roll vibe, as evidenced by the skulls on the bracelet. I really love this look.
Ok, let's talk about shoes. I am LOVING these! --->
I found the image on Pinterest but have not been able to find the actual shoes so I can purchase them. I think these would look great with rolled up boyfriend jeans, a loose-fitting coral v-neck tee and a black blazer with 3/4 sleeves. Think structured comfort, if you will. That's not an oxymoron, is it?
This style of shoe is called many things - brouges, oxfords, loafers, etc. I don't care what you call it. All I know is I absolutely love the look of "menswear" on women.
Here are some more examples of this style of shoe:
A heeled style . . .
A classic neutral . . .
Fun and flirty two-toned . . .
How would you wear these styles? Leave me a comment - I would love to hear from every one of you!
That's a wrap on this installment. I have an idea brewing for my next post - and it's especially for you D.I.P ladies so stay tuned!
