BDIB: Oxblood

The theme for this Bloggers Do It Better challenge is oxblood - the IT color for fall.

You can see my previous submission for BDIB: Sequins here.

Oxblood is not just maroon or bordeaux or wine...it has a hint of brown mixed in with the burgundy. Such a perfect fall color...makes me think of rich wine or dark colored leaves.

I had pants that were PERFECT for this challenge but alas, they were still needing to be hemmed. Luckily I had just purchased this cardi and it had oxblood all over it!

Even my lipgloss was an oxblood shade!

I told you I was loving my sock bun - it was just right for the weather since it's been raining non stop. And no joke, the humidity was at 100%. Hence the flyaways framing my face.

You can see the other bloggers sporting their oxblood on the BDIB link up here!

BDIB: Sequins

So in place of what would be today's "Friday's Five" posting, I am sharing my submission post of Bloggers Do It Better: Sequins hosted by Pretty Shiny Sparkly!

What is Bloggers Do It Better? It's founder, Kristina of Pretty Shiny Sparkly describes it as this - Bloggers Do It Better is a movement. An initiative to showcase real girls, with real style, wearing real trends.Think of it as inspiration from the girl next door.

I checked my closet and had several sequined items to use for this link up but the choice was easy. I wore my brand new GLITTERATI by Pretty Shiny Sparkly blouse designed by Kristina herself! It was PERFECT for the first BDIB theme of 2012!
