High Calorie Colors

My favorite color is purple, but I also have a love of very saturated colors. Deep, rich colors that make a statement. I will pass on a pastel every time if I have an option like garnet. Oh you thought that was only for jewelry? Let me blow your mind with these rich garnet pieces.

Macy's, Nine West Howley Dress Pumps, $89

Rounded toe, texture, bow? Sign me up.

Old Navy, Twill Midi Skirt, $10

That's right, $10. Get on this skirt. The length is great for booties and the patch pockets give a casual feel to a feminine skirt.

Gap, Nylon Utility Hooded Jacket, $88

A great fall jacket for everything from running errands to apply picking.

Modcloth, Casual Composure Cardigan, $49

Open front comfort and the perfect shades of garnet.

If this color was a food it would be super high in calories. It is so rich and decadent. Perfect for the autumn colors we're seeing right now.

Striped and Saturated

Today, DC is expecting...brace yourself...1-3 inches of snow.  OMG.  While that may seem like nothing- well it is.  But, DC has a tendency to freak out about snow much like a child before going to the dentist.

This cold weather makes me crave deep saturated colors to keep me warm and cozy.  I'm talking purples, merlots, chocolates, and burgundies.  But what I'm also loving with these deep, rich colors is stripes.  Something unexpected with an otherwise anticipated color palate.  Let me explain:

Calvin Klein, Striped ponte skirt, $69

Start with this fabulous pencil skirt and pair it with...

Jones NY, Tie Sweater, $35

Pair the stripes with this classic sweater with a feminine bow detail.

Loft, Striped Boatneck Sweater, $49

Start with this.  Look how the shoulder stripe extends to the top of the arm, giving you a beautiful neckline.

Canvas, slim leg cords, $19

These aubergine cords are delicious with a casual striped sweater! And the price? Hello, can we talk about the price?

BCBG, Sleeveless metallic dress, $84

Hey, it's stripes and sparkle.  Now pair it with these...

Aldo, Depalma Bordo, $58

Great heel, great color, perfect for a pedicure.

Aren't you loving stripes now?  Me too.  I think they are very underrated.  If you don't love thick stripes try it out in a nautical trend first and ease in.  Something like this.
