Can I just tell you, I was super excited to get dressed this morning. It was so nice to wake up knowing I was heading into the office and not having to rush to the airport or worry about putting my liquids in a quart sized bag. I knew I wanted to be dressy today. I bought this dress on Black Friday and I designated today for its maiden voyage. But alas, I needed Pinspiration to build my outfit. I did a search for "maroon dress" and "burgundy dress." I finally came across this photo.

I loved the pairing of wine and black and how she toughened up her look with the moto jacket and leather boots. It's a pretty perfect cold weather outfit.
My dress is a floral lace, so I definitely liked the idea of pairing it with a faux leather jacket and boots to take the edge off the frill. The grommet details on these boots kill me! They are a bit tough, but the silhouette is still very feminine so I don't feel it is costumey at all when worn with the jacket. I decided to do a pair of wine colored tights under a black pair to add a little dimension and hint of color below the waist. But from a distance, your eye is still drawn to the dress and not my legs. I was pretty pleased with the final product.
