Orange and merlot (burgundy) suggested by Net-a-porter.

Guess I can wear my new orange moto with my new oxblood boots.

Oh my - I love this colour combo. Now that I have an orange midi pencil skirt, maybe I'll have to keep my eyes open for a merlot coloured top. Thanks for sharing Anna!

Your orange moto with your oxblood boots would be delicious!

Oh, how fun! I just wore orange/burgundy recently and really enjoyed it. The Net-a-porter link makes me really want burgundy pants and boots! Your jacket and boots are going to be perfect together.

You can throw in a third color like teal while you're at it!

I planned an entire flowerbed around this colour scheme. It didn't work because the plants were uncooperative or not as advertised, but I still love the idea. I've never tried it in clothing though... For me it would be burnt orange and burgundy.

Love! I like Angie's take for spring and summer and Net-a-porter's for fall and winter. Yummy! Thanks, Anna.

Oh, yay, I'm glad you got those! I tried them on and really wanted them, but they just didn't fit my foot well. I guess I'll live through you then.

ooh! I'm feeling the teal with the orange and burgundy too.

I like this orange. There's something softer about it.

So glad to see this! I just bought an orange cardi and the halogen pleated dress in merlot during the NAS, but I was wondering what else to wear the cardi with (other than gray). This gives me some ideas.

Oh dear, I love that combo and now am thinking of how I must expand my wardrobe to include those. At least I already have teal to throw into the mix...

Can't wait to see your moto and boots together Anna!

Love it. Now I'm rethinking my answer about the equipment blouse. Thanks for the link. I bought the Cole Haan oxblood boots and will pair it with a burnt orange Classiques sweater from last year. Hmm...I will definitely have to lose my vacation weight first!

ooo, now burgundy is even more essential to go with all this orange. I was thinking plum and orange as I already have the skirt in plum..?

I love the color combo in the navy skirt with the dark burgundy band at the bottom. Over $1500. I think I'll get out my sewing machine. Can you see those colors in a paneled pencil skirt?

Thanks for pointing us to this page, Anna.

My first thought was Harry Potter's scarf, but that apparently is more gold and burgundy. The color combination does make me think collegiate colors, but the pieces you've shown do not. I'll be interested in seeing all these combinations you all have mentioned.

I love this combo too! I rediscovered it just at the tail end of spring and noted to myself "wear this a lot this fall" after swapping my spring wardrobe over I think you'd rock this combo, Anna.

Gorgeous combination! Angie, I've never forgotten that post and hope to find a raspberry piece to pair with the orange VC blazer.

I've worn my orange skirt with my dark burgundy blouse. Love this combo!

The color of the blouse doesn't come through well in this photo unless you look very closely....
