Beautiful color, lousy name.

Oxblood. It sounds like something that belongs in the wild not on a piece of clothing. What’s wrong with burgundy or wine? Why oxblood? I feel like they had to kill an animal (probably an ox) to get the color. I just find it oh-so wrong. There are a few things in fashion that unattractive and this is one of them.

But enough with me bashing the name of this color and onto praising how it looks in fall. Fall is time for deep colors and for a girl who describes her style as very girly it’s hard to find the perfect balance in fall. Take a look at some of my favorite ways to find that balance while still using oxblood below.

Oh and Happy Thanksgiving to all you Canadians out there. Eat some turkey for me will ya?

Faster than the wind, passionate as sin...

I felt extremely overwhelmed this morning when I went to pick out my outfit. I mean I had only been utilizing about a third of it so to be able to use all of it felt strangely weird. This outfit was actually picked out ahead of time but I had to do some editing to get it just the way I needed it to be. I changed my shirt and shoes. I love the end result of this outfit, something about just makes me happy.

I love the pattern on this skirt! It's great for fall, it makes me want to go apple picking. (Weird fact: I've never been.) What does this skirt remind you of/make you want to do?!? xoxo Jess.

Missing Month

October is my missing month. Confused? All right I’ll explain. You know when you’re thinking about the months of the year for some odd reason and fall just happens to come up? Well whenever I say the months I say them in this order, September, November and December. See what I’m getting at now. I never included October; usually someone has to point out to me that I’ve missed it. (Talk about embarrassing.) So from now on I’m just going to call it the missing month because I keep missing no matter how hard I try.

This outfit was my way of welcoming my missing month. I really wanted something that said fall is really here. And what says it better than mustard? Maybe a pumpkin but I can’t really wear that now can I? Although this shade of mustard is a bit brighter it still fits perfectly with the fall color story. Lately I’ve really been into the fall color story and the way it transfers beautifully onto clothing.


 Right now I have a few outfits planned that I’m supper excited for because, guess what ends very soon (November 3rd! Update: See what I mean uh I totally really meant October 3rd.) my 30 for 30 challenge! I really found it beneficial even if I did get so mad I threw a mountain of clothing around my room.  I think that now I know that I can take almost all the pieces in my closet and mix them up I’m going to have such a fun time with my wardrobe now.  I’m planning on posting the last outfit Thursday and that will be the close of the 30 for 30 outfits!! Eee! Super excited to utilize my whole closet again. Have a great Tuesday, xoxo Jess.
