Burgundy and Orange

Burgundy and orange are one of those color combinations that look fabulous to my eye even if they don�t exactly make sense on paper:

I am especially fond of the plummy burgundy (which, yes, I call oxblood when I want to seem on-trend) of this turtleneck (Gap) paired with the bright, tangerine orange of this skirt (vintage via Goodwill).  I also wore a cream, cashmere sweater (Forte Cashmere via Ideeli), black tights (Spanx via Nordstrom) and snake platform pumps (Pierre Dumas via Piperlime).

Also, I didn�t realize it until today, but I�m a turkey decal away from being dressed like the Virginia Tech 2012 Russell Athletic Bowl Helmets.

And, in Great-Intent-Shaky-Execution News, I also wore this metal filigree necklace from Old Navy: 

You can�t see it in the other photos because there isn�t enough contrast between it and the turtleneck, and because my hair is in the way, but, I swear that I wore it and that it added pretty much nothing to the outfit. 

Happy Tuesday, Everyone!

P.S.  You're welcome for all of the football helmets I share.
