Gotta Have It: Burgundy

I have seen so many posts in my blog feed about burgundy! This color has become such a haute trend this season, it's crazy! There are so many ways to wear burgundy, so it's really easy to add this classy color to your style.

Look 1: A Dark Pout
Sport a burgundy lip and leave the rest of your face fairly natural. Top it with a gloss in a similar color if you're feeling daring.
Try Yves Saint Laurent in 31 Rose Fusain.
*Extra credit: Add a graphic black winged liner to your eyes. My favorite is Stila.

Look 2: Sultry Nails
File your nails, smooth and rounded at the tops, and apply a burgundy nail polish. Then, finish it off with a generous amount of top coat to add deep shine.
Try OPI Nail Polish in Diva in Geneva with Sally Hansen Diamond Strength No Chip Nail Color in Flawless (my favorite!)
*Tip: I like to start with a layer of the Sally Hansen on my bare nails first, to strengthen my nails and prevent breakage, and then I add the OPI nail color, and then another layer of Sally Hansen as a top coat.

Look 3: Rock the Knits
Find a burgundy shade in the knits! Knits are always stylish in the winter and fall, so this look will never go out of style! If I'm in a rush, I'll usually throw on a knit sweater and pair of black leggings, and my brown boots. I found this awesome sweater at H&M that has a nice cable knit pattern on the front, and it's super comfy to wear! I couldn't find it online, but this cardigan is a great burgundy knit.

Look 4: A Little Spice
I always like to look my best, and I'm all for dressing up for class. I love wearing low heels around campus because they add a little height (I always want to look taller), they're pretty comfortable, and they look cute! These shoes by Anne Klein are adorable little pumps that you could wear anywhere, anyday. The heel is fairly low so it wouldn't kill your feet with the pain of a pump, and the style of them is simple so it would match so many outfits. Burgundy shoes would add a touch of class to any look.

Giving any of these looks a try? Have other ways you wear burgundy? Let me know!
