Until Angie posted this, I never would have worn these colors together. The boots were an impulse buy a month ago that I have barely worn as I had no tops in the same tone. My wardrobe is predominantly cooler colors and so the boots were becoming orphans. But I felt very pulled together once I actually tried it on and went out to a casual dinner with the extended family.

And the cozy corduroy coat is a deeper burgundy, but I think it works. Oh I just realized my new wooden watch makes 3 shades of burgundy! Or 2 shades of rust?

My newish Wit and Wisdom jeans ended up being a bit short, even though I cold wash line dry (and it was pointed out when I first posted them- that's what I get for not listening), so now I finally get to participate in the released hem trend. They are so dark that it is subtle, but I like it that way. I hope the release hem stays around for a while - it is one solution to my occasional problem of petites being a tad short, but regulars not having the right knee break.

Thanks to Angie and all the YFLers who have posted their interpretations for the inspiration. No more orphan boots! I have my eye out for the scarf that ties in burgundy, rust, cognac, and navy.
