Yet another, more wearable, dark red color combo

This is the combo I have been gushing about in my blog post comment, courtesy of the InStyle magazine. I have unsuccessfully tried to find the image online and at the end resorted to photographing my magazine page.
I am totally smitten with this combo and plan to wear it a lot in the upcoming season. I find it much more wearable than the previous Zara one I posted. I am curious to see if there will be more takers on this one

I love the gorgeously rich and saturated colors! Clearly I need to add something dark red to my wardrobe this year.

Personally I'm more drawn to the other more bright combo, but this one is lovely too. I also don't really wear navy. This one reads as a little earthier to me, the other is more graphic. I'll enjoy seeing renditions of both, but I'll be sticking to the other or perhaps just going with cobalt/burgundy/cream

What a great color combo. I think this is very wearable. I wonder if this would be a way to make my cobalt jeans more current?? Look forward to your looks!

These are my colors too - if I could find them together in a print, that would be heavenly!

I have all of those colors in my closet. May have to go play.

I really love the cool reds and the blues are a favorite of mine. Very nice.

Love it. The cobalt feels like it gives new life to the usual navy/dark red combo.

I like it but have no idea how to implement. I will be watching WIW closely.

Delicious! If the dark red EF dress I ordered fits, I could try this with my cobalt knit moto over top...thanks for sharing

I'm getting ideas... cobalt leather moto, burgundy blouse or sweater, denim, burgundy boots... oh, and the Equipment plaid sweater from NAS! Thanks for sharing this!

Ha! When I read the word 'Maroon' I realized I do have a blouse in Maroon o_O. I think I will give this a go today

I dipped my toe in this combo last fall, with classic items already in my wardrobe, but I'm ready to go bolder. I already have gobs of cobalt, and a little navy and maroon. I'll be watching your posts for more inspiration (and I'm getting the InStyle for my road trip)!

Thanks for the inspiration! I think I will try this with my coated burgundy skinnies and cobalt blazer.
