Yes, I'm really enjoying the combo!</p> <p>Robin--Thank you! It is really nice knowing that particular blouse works well on me and being able to duplicate it since they keep making it in different colors and patterns. Currently, I have it in burgundy, black, brown snakeskin, lavender, black with white stars, stone gray, and olive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-and-black-with-stompy-boots#post-2228141 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 12:06:22 +0000 RobinF 2228141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look with the burgundy and black.

Love this, both versions&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-and-black-with-stompy-boots#post-2227870 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 14:29:19 +0000 Kaelyn 2227870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonesy--Yes, mixing and matching pieces is great! It's how my mom raised me to think about my clothes, so I'm always looking for different ways to combine what I own. I try to mostly buy colors I like together, though sometimes it doesn't work out (I have this blouse in stone gray and it just DOESN'T work with colors I thought it ought to, but I really like mixing it with other neutrals, so it's still fairly versatile).</p> <p>Tanya--Go Team Burgundy! Thank you for the compliment.</p> <p>Bijou--Thank you so much! Since I lost some weight, I like tucking shirts in more now, but it also looks good untucked (today I'm wearing the same blouse in black, untucked over dark jeans). I like the increased versatility I have now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-and-black-with-stompy-boots#post-2227822 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 12:27:39 +0000 Bijou 2227822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why you love that shirt, it is a brilliant fit on you and the colour makes you glow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-and-black-with-stompy-boots#post-2227818 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 12:13:20 +0000 Tanya 2227818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is lovely - from a fellow burgundy fan!&nbsp; &nbsp;The color is very flattering on you and the stompy boots add an edge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-and-black-with-stompy-boots#post-2227774 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 04:04:56 +0000 Jonesy 2227774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with everyone else that burgundy is your color! I think smart casual is a great direction to go, and if your colors are cohesive you can mix and match and come up with all kinds of smart casual combinations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-and-black-with-stompy-boots#post-2227766 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 02:41:48 +0000 Kaelyn 2227766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally--For sure! I'm really excited to try more combinations in the coming weeks. I felt great in this all day WFH and meeting my mom and uncle for dinner.</p> <p>Slim cat, Nikki, and Windchime--Thank you so much for the compliments! </p> <p>Shevia--I was so psyched to participate after reading that blog post and doubly so after I realized this outfit would work for Katerina's color challenge. I'm glad it works for both of those things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-and-black-with-stompy-boots#post-2227748 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 01:06:35 +0000 Jaime 2227748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic burgundy monochrome in the skirt and stompy boot formula!

I'm glad the burgundy and black work well together. And thanks again for the challenge! This is going to be really fun to work on.</p> <p>Angie--Thank you so much! I've had these boots for YEARS and they are so very loved. Pretty plus tough is a favorite juxtaposition of mine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-and-black-with-stompy-boots#post-2227705 Mon, 27 Sep 2021 22:24:04 +0000 Angie 2227705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS! The boots are soooo you, and add an effective tough touch to the pretty blouse and skirt. Great match with the jacket too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-and-black-with-stompy-boots#post-2227704 Mon, 27 Sep 2021 22:23:49 +0000 Katerina 2227704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful in burgundy Kaelyn, no wonder it is one of your favorite colors! And what a fabulous outfit. I like it especially with the jacket. The column of burgundy looks great with the black jacket and boots. You look super cute! Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-burgundy-and-black-with-stompy-boots#post-2227699 Mon, 27 Sep 2021 22:08:59 +0000 Kaelyn 2227699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Finally got my fiancée to help me take some pictures of this outfit!</p> <p>I'm counting this as my entry for the color challenge, monochrome non-neutral, because this is the closest I can get (only burgundy when not wearing the blazer, other than the boots). I can also do this same look with olive; I have the same blouse in olive and another midi skirt that's made of a super soft lighter olive (almost sage) corduroy. I'll definitely be wearing that outfit soon, too.</p> <p>The 90s are my favorite fashion decade, because I was a kid during them and they were super formative for me, so this is a look I've been sporting now and then for my entire adult life (I didn't like wearing skirts growing up because I had no idea how to style them, and I prefer wearing pants 9 times out of 10).</p> <p>All pieces are older than one season except the blouse, which I bought pretty recently; I am obsessed with Torrid's Harper Georgette blouses, so any time they offer a new color or pattern I like, I buy it up. I HAD to get this burgundy one, as burgundy is one of my favorite colors to wear.</p> <p>I mentioned in my recent update post that I want to shift to dressing more smart casual most of the time, and this is definitely a look I want to enjoy more often as I continue to WFH, and when I am hopefully a grad student next year. I have plenty of possible combinations with midi skirts, blouses, tees, etc. that wouldn't be monochrome, too. I also have a couple more pairs of stompy boots (my rainbow iridescent Docs, and my snakeskin Steve Maddens). Did I mention this is one of my absolute favorite aesthetics? </p>
