Fall Inspiration: Bordeaux

Wednesday, August 17, 2011

I’m participating in another fun Full Time Fabulous blog event today! We’ve been tasked by the lovely Kristy Elena to post about something that is inspiring us and right now I’m totally inspired by fall fashion! Bordeaux is a huge color trend for fall and I thought I would use that as a jumping off point for a fall inspired look.

A leather pencil skirt has forever been on my list of wants. It’s very Angelina Jolie…no? Although, I identify with Ms. Aniston more than Ms. Jolie, we all have an inner bad girl that wants to break free! And in my opinion, bad girls love their leather AND their leopard! You may remember the killer leopard crossbody bag in my set from my guest post on animal prints for Ebates.

Bordeaux...It's not just for drinking!

 

So, in conclusion…Leather, leopard and a little something bordeaux will be making an appearnce in my fall wardrobe!

What fall fashion trend is inspiring y’all right now?

I have always wanted a leather skirt. My Aunt has one and she always looks so timeless in it.

I do love a dark, sensual getup. One thing I love about being a brunette is that I can pair this look with a deep, rich lipstick shade (usually purchased in the “women of color” section). This will be perfect for fall!

Oh I so hear you on the ‘angelina vs. jen’ I this Ms. Jolie is spectacular but Ms. Aniston always enjoys my bias!! lol.

Very sexy, I like A LOT.

Tamra {walks with Bella} Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 4:56 pm

Perhaps its my love of wine that makes me embrace this color. Either way, I will most definitely rock this trend. :)

Ooo la la! Loving the way you styled this outfit! I tried on a leather DKNY jacket last night at TJMAXX and loved it!

Cecilia Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 5:43 pm

leopard all the way!! I do love fall fashion…but in Miami we don’t get to wear it as often as we would like. xoxo

Grace Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 6:00 pm

Fun, fun fall style ideas! I’m loving that color, and the bracelet and shoes are fabulous as well.

Ashley Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 6:04 pm

Sounds like my kind of fall fashion mix!

Stacey Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 6:17 pm

What a great combo! I found a dark green leather pencil skirt at a thrift store a few weeks ago for $10 – you better believe I snatched it right up!

[Reply]

Alex Elizabeth Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 6:35 pm

I certainly hope to find something bordeaux! I just bought a leather skirt, too– circle though, not pencil. I find them too unforgiving on my body type.

Katie Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 6:57 pm

I’ve got to start working on some fall wish lists!

You would look so smokin’ hot in this outfit!! I love that leather skirt–it would turn any outfit up a few degrees :)

Laura@JourneyChic Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 9:43 pm

Whew – sexy lady alert!! Those pumps are slammin’ but the whole thing is classy-sexy.

Traci Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 9:58 pm

This is definitely inspiring me! I think I need to start buying all the outfits you post! It would be like you were my personal shopper!

Good look! (Leopard is ALWAYS good.)

whitney Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 10:40 pm

you can definitely be jen most of the time, but let angelina creep in from time to time :)

ilene Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 11:08 pm

i have so many ideas for the Bordeaux look – loving it!

[Reply]

bravoerunway Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 11:28 pm

I am most inspired by Bordeaux, not just because I love red wine, but it is such a rich and gorgeous shade that I think it is universally flattering on all skin tones!

Lyddiegal Wednesday, August 17, 2011 at 11:56 pm

animal prints and sleek leather look good to me!

I love bordeaux and gold combo! And though I´m not sure I could pull off leather mini, it looks fantastic with all the other things you´ve put together!

I want to be inspired by fall fashion – but it just reminds me that summer is ending! :) Not sure I’m ready yet! Although I’m digging those shoes!

STYLE'N Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 8:07 am

I am all over this these trends Kristin-shades of red, animal prints, and leather are all going to be in my closet too :) Cheers to Fall!

Great outfit, I can totally see you rocking that :)

Andi of My Beautiful Adventures Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 9:25 am

I’ve never really been into animal prints, but I love everything else!

[Reply]

Channon Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 9:44 am

If you’re ordering all of the above, shall I just send you my sizes?! Seriously… I love that “wine” color. It’s the shade my b-maids wore for our wedding. And I love animal prints, as long as they’re golden-based, it seems.

And while I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a black leather mini before, it sure looks like the very best thing to go with the rest of the ensemble…

Torrie @ a place to share... Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 11:36 am

I used to hate leopard print(!), but as is the case with so many other things since I’ve started reading blogs (and getting out from under my rock)… I’m transformed. I love it now, but have nothing (except a new pair of shoes that I just bought- for Hailey!) to show for it!

[Reply]

Kimberlee Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 11:37 am

lmao break out that inner bad girl! I’ve really been wanting a pair of leather shorts and that is not typically my style. I love seeing them paired with a feminine blouse. Leather is very hot for fall so I hope you get a great piece!

[Reply]

Jamillah Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 11:49 am

Yeah I would like to wear this :) . I love the look of leather and leopard and you managed to include them both without getting too “come hither” well done!

Oh to Be a Muse Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 1:24 pm

that leopard print bag and the gold necklace are hot. the skirt is definitely very Angie.

Ally Garner Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 1:59 pm

Ooh i love that deep wine blouse. I’ve never had a leather skirt before, but i keep seeing leather everywhere for Fall. Must try a few on! Beautiful outfit, Ladies!

Carly Thursday, August 18, 2011 at 3:25 pm

love all your choices….
mostly the loepard….I wear it from time to time in spring but I am in leopard FULL FORCE once that cooler weather appears!
Can’t wait.
