Oxblood


Today I'm linking up with Pretty Shiny Sparkly for the Bloggers Do It Better Challenge - oxblood. Confession, I've never used the word 'oxblood' to describe this color.  I usually call it red or burgundy.  I'm a total guy when it comes to color names.

I'm also guest posting over on Schnelle today!  Come check it out and say hi!  It's a Pinterest inspired post :-)



Sweater: Banana Republic  /  Shirt: Kohls  /  Skirt: J Crew  /  Handbag: Gucci {vintage-my moms}     Sunglasses: Chanel  /    Shoes: Aldo 'Lillig'  /  Jewelry: Handmade necklace, J Crew, David Yurman, Stella & Dot

    Love this look - your purse really ties it together. I was at a thrift store the other day and they had the same purse for sale. I also picked it up but it was way too damaged.

    I love this outfit on you today - you look fabulous! I'm really kicking myself that I did't get this skirt in this color. I agree with you regarding the color of this skirt - I would just call it burgundy too. I love the vintage Gucci too!

    I'd call it burgundy too...I hate the word "oxblood", it sounds gross! The polka dot top is so cute!

    I shy away from saying any color that has the word "blood" in it ha. I would say burgundy!

    I'm with you, I've always just called it red or burgundy! Regardless, this outfit is beautiful. I love the colors you paired with the skirt.

    I've always called in maroon. My high school colors were maroon and white so I've been wearing this color for years (so fashionable! ha). Of course I love the polka dots :D

    P.S. Today I started a savings account named Chanel and thought of you and your amazing hand bag collection. Come back in 5 years to see what I get ;)
