Color Obsession: burgundy


I don't know about you, but the last time I heard the color burgundy said out loud was way back in high school. I remember having a thick oversized burgundy cardigan from Benetton that I would wear over my uniform when it was cold. I've forgotten about this color - almost like Cinderella did with her slipper (I just want to make sense of that photo of a lone shoe). Surprisingly, it is everywhere in the Fall selections of A Cup of Jo's Joanna on ASOS.
 
 
It certainly looks like the preppy ivy-league burgundy from high school...
 
 
... has turned sexy and flirty!
 
 
Especially paired with cherry red and turquoise in DVF's Fall Collection.
 
 
Then again, how can it not with the DVF touch?
 
 
Check out the signature DVF gold chain detail...
 
 
... on this burgundy purse that can hold an iPad.
 
 
To be honest, I am not obsessed with burgundy. But I am somewhat drawn to it. Maybe the deep, dark color makes it mysterious & enchanting. And because it's a red hue, it undoubtedly has a touch of sexy, flirty fearlessness.

Color Obsession: army green

 
Lately, I've been charmed by army green.
 
 
Whether it be in solids like this Emerson Fry Fall coat... 
 
 
... Or in these oh-so-military camo print.
 
 
The only army-greens I have in my non-pretend closet is a set of tapered cargo pants and a button-down shirt. Inspired by A Mischmashed Life's Mikka's fantasy closet, I am excited to add more charm to my army greens with feminine pairings.
 
 
I just loooove how Mikka dolled up the manly vest with sequin shorts, a floral skirt, a printed maxi and bling. I adoooore that stripes+floral pairing and love how the army green vest pulls off the mix of prints just beautifully! (Check out more of Mikka's expert styling here. Am so smitten with her work-looks, am feeling a tinsy-bit sad that I'm on sabbatical.) 
 
What about you? Are you just as charmed with army green?
