Color of the Season: Oxblood!

I had this whole post typed out about how lovely this would be and how great that should be, then I deleted it.  Wanna know why?  Because “oxblood” is just a weird freaking name for a color!!!  Yes, it sounds exotic but it also sounds quite gross!  Nevertheless, “OXBLOOD” is this fall’s color trend.

Get on the train!

Polyvore has contests that you can enter if you create a “set” i.e. an outfit board designed around whatever the group or site comes up with.  I recently entered two sets (which weren’t winners by the way) but I found and fell in love with a certain item of clothing.

This leather skirt from Miu Miu is available on Net-A-Porter for a mere $1,650

Totally worth it!

Of course this cute skirt doesn’t come in curvy sizes and it’s pretty much sold out in regular sizes.  As I always say…this is ONLY a piece of style inspiration. All you need to do is look around.

Here’s the same skirt and one very close to that style that I found from Sonsi.
The plaid skirt is only $38…how do you like those red apples?!
Jeans, jeggings, leggings or whatever you want to call them…I love them!
Levi’s in “winetasting”
$47.99

Here are several outfit ideas via Polyvore
(95% of the items are for our curves)

These are the sets I entered for several Polyvore contests: Camel and Oxblood…first time participating and it was a blast!
Camel for Fall
Fall Flair
Oxblood Good!

Burgundy, wine, red, oxblood, plum…whatever you want to call it, just be sure it’s in your closet somewhere.  If it’s not in your closet…add it to your face…in the form of lips, eyes or jewels!  Yes, I’m forcing you to go out and buy something trendy LOL it’s just a color 😉
