berry/oxblood/red wine

I know it has been forever and a day since I last posted; I've been super busy. I'll make up for it with several posts over the next few days. Right now I am absolutely obsessed with anything berry/oxblood/red wine-ish colored. It's such a quintessential fall color and is flattering on virtually anyone. Right now, while we are still in the transition from SS11 to AW11/12, pair oxblood colored pieces with lighter neutrals such as camel or honey-wheat tones, or simply add oxblood accents via oxblood booties, blazers, bags, jewelry, belts, etc. to ensembles. As the weather becomes even cooler, begin to pair more darker neutrals and blacks with oxblood pieces.

A few outfit ideas:

• Pair oxblood booties, lace anklets or thigh highs, and a lace dress.
• Be bolder by centering an outfit around a piece like  berry colored trousers or a berry colored skirt. 
• Bring a little more life to an outfit with a statement necklace with deep-red stones such as rubies.
• Go boho by layering a slouchy deep-berry sweater over a maxi-dress.
