The color is warm enough to also work with camel or warm greens, if those are in your wardrobe. I think the scarf is purple and a warm red rather than burgundy? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-capsule-and-some-reflections-on-style-shift#post-2158634 Thu, 10 Dec 2020 03:32:40 +0000 Aquamarine 2158634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Burgundy is my middle name (JK) and I love it to death.

In the spring I am thinking of using it with pink, aqua or dove grey or a floral print.<br /> Garnet jewelry would be pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-capsule-and-some-reflections-on-style-shift#post-2158617 Thu, 10 Dec 2020 02:30:45 +0000 Jaime 2158617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good! I like those floral jeans! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-capsule-and-some-reflections-on-style-shift#post-2158602 Thu, 10 Dec 2020 01:10:36 +0000 KMM 2158602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa P- burgundy is a good color for my complexion as long as it doesn’t lean too muddy. I hear you that there are many different shades out there. Can be tricky.</p> <p>Irina- thank you. I also easily end up with a number of well loved but unmatched items so this capsule took some intention.&nbsp;</p> <p> <div>LaPed &amp; JAileen- I’ll try and remember to come back with a finished hat photo!&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>Suz- I hadn’t thought of browns. It’s been forever since I had any but I did recently buy a chocolate brown sweater from Banana Republic that makes me think I might need more in this shade. Maybe worth more experimentation!&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>MsMaven- I *love* the Eccos, I have the black metallic pair as well as a navy pair. I wear them with everything. </p> <p>Bijou- I’ve been stalking this bag for a year and never found a color that I wanted to pull the trigger on,, until this one in “wine”. It’s more structured than I usually go for but I’m finding I quite like it with a number of outfits.&nbsp;</p> </div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-capsule-and-some-reflections-on-style-shift#post-2158598 Thu, 10 Dec 2020 00:44:22 +0000 Bijou 2158598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love burgundy and think it looks particularly good with navy, black and grey - so a perfect accent colour for your winter coats. Your new bag is lovely, I can see why it has been the inspiration for this capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-capsule-and-some-reflections-on-style-shift#post-2158589 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 23:30:55 +0000 MsMaven 2158589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Burgundy is a great choice. In fact, I've decided that I now have too much, but I've been collective pieces for years and now I'm kind of tired of it. It's a good color to go with most fall colors.</p> <p>I love the BR floral scarf. Your choices look like they will work very well in your well-chosen capsule.</p> <p>How do you like the Ecco Zip Booties? If there is one shopping in store experience I miss, it's trying on shoes in person with lots of alternatives easily available. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-capsule-and-some-reflections-on-style-shift#post-2158586 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 23:20:09 +0000 LaPed 2158586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a big fan of burgundy and agree that it's a great way of tying black and navy together. I like that you can go brighter by adding red, lighter by adding pink/blush, and greys and charcoals tie in easily as well.</p> <p>Your capsule is so cohesive, and I think the floral scarf you're on the fence about looks like a great accent. It caught my eye and I tend to be very picky about florals. Also, the colour of that yarn is particularly yummy! I hope you'll share pics of the hat when it's done. :)</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-capsule-and-some-reflections-on-style-shift#post-2158582 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 23:12:24 +0000 Suz 2158582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks like a great capsule! I really enjoy burgundy for winter (and fall) because it mixes well with many other tones. I wear it with navy (my dominant neutral), grey, black, whites, other blues, pinks, reds, and I would wear it with browns if I had any. I love the infinity scarf and hope it works for you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-capsule-and-some-reflections-on-style-shift#post-2158579 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 23:06:12 +0000 Irina 2158579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is an excellent color choice to accessorize grey, black and navy outwear. I admire you consistency in building a capsule. My winter accessories are is either black or single, unmatched items </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-capsule-and-some-reflections-on-style-shift#post-2158576 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 22:58:11 +0000 Anonymous 2158576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a good capsule - although the scarf looks like it has more blue and red in it than burgundy . I find burgundy difficult to wear and hard to find the right version or shade . Is it a good colour for you overall ? It can be pretty draining on the complexion if it’s not right . Just my thoughts .. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-capsule-and-some-reflections-on-style-shift#post-2158571 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 22:26:35 +0000 Helena 2158571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love this. Burgundy is such a good choice I think too because it never seems to be overly trendy or out of style ... It just always looks good, shows up every year, and is very timeless. Like you I am also gravitating to black over navy lately! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-capsule-and-some-reflections-on-style-shift#post-2158556 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 20:25:04 +0000 Cardiff girl 2158556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Burgundy is a great accent colour for winter as it goes with so many of the dark neutrals like black,grey and navy.Thus looks like a really nice roundup of items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-capsule-and-some-reflections-on-style-shift#post-2158523 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 18:07:07 +0000 Cee 2158523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me likey </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-capsule-and-some-reflections-on-style-shift#post-2158509 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 17:05:35 +0000 JAileen 2158509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice! &nbsp;I think I have those boots in charcoal, and love them.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Post a picture of your cap when you knit it.<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-capsule-and-some-reflections-on-style-shift#post-2158497 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 16:06:16 +0000 Anonymous 2158497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your burgundy capsule items are elegant and December worthy! The scarf would tie in the black and also look amazing with jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-capsule-and-some-reflections-on-style-shift#post-2158495 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 15:47:09 +0000 KMM 2158495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Runcarla, I have some black outerwear and some navy. My warmest puffer is medium gray. Burgundy seems versatile enough for all, I think?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-capsule-and-some-reflections-on-style-shift#post-2158492 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 15:29:57 +0000 Carla 2158492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like a cohesive capsule to me. &nbsp;Your outerwear is black? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/burgundy-capsule-and-some-reflections-on-style-shift#post-2158491 Wed, 09 Dec 2020 15:11:51 +0000 KMM 2158491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For the first time I’m deliberately putting together a cohesive, casual accessory capsule. &nbsp;I find I’m gravitating toward cold weather styles that feel more “edgy” (for me), dark plaids and florals, and black. &nbsp;Most of the items I’ve purchased this year have been black which is a shift away from many years of preferring navy. &nbsp;Burgundy will complement the newer black items as well as my existing navy stuff. </p> </p> <p>Winter seems tough in terms of accessories. Less use of handbags- I tend to just toss what I need in the pockets of my puffer and go. My small collection of scarves, gloves, and hats have no cohesion whatsoever! I’ve been craving something a little more put together and intentional. This Botkier crossbody was a top pick a while back and as I was browsing for bags that would work for fall/winter I found the burgundy one at a good price. &nbsp;Alongside the Born Chelsea boots I bought last season I realized that I had the makings of a capsule that will suit my current sartorial needs. Just ordered the BR infinity scarf, and some yarn with plans to hand knit a coordinating hat. &nbsp;Im considering adding a lightweight scarf with a black background at some point for fall/cold spring. Maybe some burgundy sneaks as well. </p> <p>With the pandemic I’m not really out much, aside from the office twice a week and essential errands. Wardrobe planning hasn’t been at the forefront of my mind for many months but it was fun to have something to focus on again.</p> <p>Finds below are current wardrobe items (except for the floral scarf which I’m on the fence about). Thanks for looking!</p> </p>
