Burgundy for a Wintery Day


Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog!

 


Burgundy is such a trending color now,
 so I thought I would have a rummage in my closet
 to see if I could come up with another outfit
 using pieces I already have in my wardrobe,
 but haven't worn much this fall and winter season

This outfit is a little different for me
I have had the long burgundy cardigan sweater for years,
 but rarely wear it, now.
 I wore it quite a bit during it's first few seasons in my closet,
 when the long duster cardigan had just come into fashion
 It is a comfortable and cozy ribbed knit,
 but I hadn't given it much thought, until recently
I moved it from the bottom of my sweater drawer
earlier this fall, when I pulled out all of my burgundy items
from previous seasons to see how I could re-style them
 I think it's time to give this sweater a fresh look
The burgundy cardigan happens to match, almost perfectly
 with this pair of straight leg trousers
 that were added to my wardrobe last year
For a little fun, I decided to pair
 these two burgundy pieces with a gray tee shirt
 that has a beaded graphic of two dogs
 facing one another on it
 Are you a fan of the color burgundy?
It is one of those colors that is a staple for me,
 so I already have quite a few pieces
 in my closet to work with





Carrying my black and white striped handle bag,
to lighten the look 





 Accessorizing with an ultra long,
 black and white polka dot scarf
and silver tone jewelry
A grey leather and metal bar bracelet,
and textured hoop earrings



Black suede tuxedo bow
 low block heels to finish the look




A  burgundy and red floral print blazer 
from the past, Autumn 2019




Hope you all enjoy your week!

I love the burgundy + grey combination, and it's so cute here with the graphic T. The drama of the long polka dot scarf is *chef's kiss*.

As usually, your accessories are on point! The long scarf looks like trim on the cardigan and that purse is so cute. I have been doing the same with some things in my closet, pulling them out to prioritize wearing them.

I love how dark and rich this burgundy shade it. It looks so good with the grey, black and white as you wore it. Such a cute outfit!

It's a great idea to find ways to wear pieces we don't seem to wear. A challenge on FB is asking us to do just this. I love burgundy but it's too deep and cool a color for me. Love the way you've styled it, the cute bag is such a great addition. Have a lovely weekend.
