Sunnies: Vince Camuto (similar) | Scarf: Express | Bag: Foley + Corinna (other colors on sale for half off here) | Top: Express (option, save, splurge) | Bottoms: Express (option) | Shoes: Ugg (limited sizes here and here) (other good option here)
Burgundy + stripes + leopard/cognac is one of my all time favorite combos. I say that a lot about many combos, I know, but this time I have proof. I wore the base of this outfit a few months ago - in San Francisco here, as a matter of fact. The leopard scarf really just finishes this outfit off nicely. I wasn't sure how I would feel about stripes on bottom *and* on top, but I like it!
OK, so can I just be real with you guys for a second? Every weekend I do the outfit planning for the following week, including photographing all the outfits at once. It's been a good routine so far - it takes a little bit of strategy not only planning the outfits themselves, but also deciding what order to take the photos depending on how I want my hair styled for each outfit. Normally I check the weather for the weekend and pick the day with best weather to take pics. I had heard that it was supposed to be nice ALL weekend, so I didn't bother confirming this with the weather channel. Saturday was spent working on stuff for my sister's upcoming baby shower, and I planned to do blog stuff Sunday.
Saturday was absolutely gorgeous! Sunday I woke up to hail and wind. Ugggghhh. Wind is a blogger's nemesis I tell ya! So while I was able to snag a few acceptable photographs of this outfit, this is what the other 99% of the photos looked like.

Thanks, lady! I appreciate that! And I swear it's way windier here than I remembered it ever being as a non-blogger! :)
DeleteLOL!! I was wondering what (or who? hee hee) this post was going to be about because I couldn't see anything in your outfit that said "nemesis" to me. Like you said, it was more like "favorites." I love that you included your wind-blown pic. And then it's funny that they use a fan with models a lot of times to create a wind blown look? Well, you nailed it in the last pic. :

Haha exactly! Makes me crabby and not even want to bother! I wish I could plan weeks in advance! Not so much tho!
DeleteI like all the stripes! Your pants break up the stripes and makes for a nice balance!

ReplyDeleteAway From The Blue
Yes, exactly - frustrating!!
DeleteThank you!
I hear you with the wind! I always find that my dresses or shirts have weird wrinkles in them when we shoot on a windy day!
ReplyDeleteJen @ Librarian for Life & Style
It was ridiculous this day! Didn't feel like styling my hair or anything!
DeleteHa! I can totally believe that! I always say that wind is one of my pet peeves. Grr.. I really love this color combo and overall look. So timeless but with a modern take. Nice!!
