Burgundy and Grey Color Scheme for a Change in the Weather

Hello, and welcome to my blog!

The weather is cooling down, and all around me,

seasonal changes are becoming more apparent

🍂🎃🍁

An autumnal vibe is in the air, for sure

It's high time for me to get serious about changing

 to my fall and winter wardrobe!

For today's outfit I chose some darker fall colors-

 a gray and white woven vest with black piping,

 over a white ruffled blouse with elbow length sleeves

I wore this blouse back in the summer, under a floral dress

in a post titled "Ruffles and Flowers for Summer",

so it is more of an all year round piece 

My midi length skirt is burgundy color with three swishy, gathered tiers

Burgundy is a close cousin to brown,

and is trending again this fall

along with all the shades of red and purple,

so it seems a good time to style it

Seems my subconscious mind has been on Halloween,

 as my outfits have been a bit costume-y, lately

 Two weeks ago, I wore a bit of a milk maid look,

 this week, my outfit turned out looking

 a little like I am channelling Mary Poppins

Maybe a slightly swashbuckling looking MP!

Are you ready for Halloween?

Will you be going to any costume parties,

or getting dressed up in a full-on costume?

I know some people just love this fun holiday,

 and start preparing their costume months in advance

We will be going to our community's

annual party and handing out treats in costume! 

Roger is getting in the fall spirit, 

and matching my color scheme today

  He is wearing a burgundy and gray

 argyle sweater vest, and gray trousers

 Argyle is a great print to get the autumn vibes rolling!

I picked this cute vintage

 tapestry print handle bag from the 1960's,

to complement the colors of my outfit

For jewelry, I chose a DIY horse head pendant,

  a chunky, wavy, open design silver tone cuff bracelet,

 and textured hoop earrings

Have you noticed a lot of figural animal prints

this season?

 I have been seeing lots of cute and cuddly critters,

 on sweaters especially, 

but also on all types of clothing and accessories

 I love this trend and am very tempted!

These burgundy patent T-straps with a low conical heel

 seem the perfect shoe for this outfit

I have had these in my wardrobe for a long time,

gathering dust for the past few years

I am glad I kept them!

  I have started wearing them more often recently,

 as the color burgundy has come back into fashion 

Here is an outfit with a similar color way,

 from an autumn past, 2022

A pair of shoes that are leaving my closet

 with my fall purge are the heels pictured below

 They are black and white micro striped pony hair Mary Janes Although I love them, 

like the pair of heels I featured for consignment

 a few weeks ago, 

 my back knows very well when the heels are too high

 My back says no so I obey, and my higher heels are being purged from my wardrobe

The photo below with me wearing these shoes

was taken for a Valentine's Day post

 in February, 2020

 

Last days to visit the beach, this year,

it is getting too chilly!

Hope everyone enjoys their week!
