I was very inspired by this outfit formula, and decided to go all out playing with it. I am planning to do three versions of each. Here I am covering the first two color combos. It is always a challenge for me when the combos involve a very warm color that is not flattering, and that I have a little of (orange, toffee). So the way I deal with it is to either wear it in small amount in a print or away from my face, or to use a sister color.

I Toffee, Lilac and Black (or Navy)
1. The first version (#1) is the only one that has real toffee color, in the form of a satin slip skirt. It was combined with little lilac sweater, black oversize linen vest, and black sandals and crossbody.
2. The 2nd version (#2-3) was built around a fun patterned horse shirt, where the pattern involves lilac, navy and a light earth tone close to toffee. It was combined with lilac crop kick flare jeans and high tops, and navy moto. Accessories add more toffee cousins: cognac belt, and the navy cross body has multi-colored strap than also involves some colors in that family.
3. The third version (#4-5) is the only work outfit in the whole post. Here I gave up on finding toffee-like colors, and went for my new wide cargos, which are much cooler toned, the color is in the taupe/mushroom family. It was combined with a floral lilac blouse and lots of navy: tweed bomber, patent loafer pumps and tote. This is also a play on "Utility Pretty".

II Burgundy, Pink and Orange
Here there are three skirt outfits, some that have a touch of real orange, and some where cognac plays the role of orange as the next cousin.
4. (#6): Burgundy tweed skirt, patterned smocked top that includes some pinks and burned orange, hot pink cross body, congac sandals
5. (#7): Burgundy paisley skirt with some pink in the pattern, pink sweater, cognac bag and booties, and patterned scarf with various pinks and reds, some orange-y.
6. (#8): Burgundy satin skirt with bright pink smocked top, pink bag and cognac scarf, and another patterned scarf with some orang and pink in it.
