The color for today for the Fall Color Challenge is wine. I kind of cheated a little bit on this one, I think the true wine color I'm wearing is my long sleeved t-shirt, but I had this outfit in mind for this day all last week as I was thinking about it. This sweater is another one of my Goodwill finds. So between my pink, purple and wine colors, I'm just varying shades of wine. I'm Merlot and White Zinfandel and Pink Moscato all rolled into one.
Long sleeve shirt - Mossimo, Target
Sweater - thrifted Target stock
Skirt - two birds vintage via b. (a resale shop)
Boots - Target, old
Necklace - S&D
It's no secret that the Pants Monkey and I are beer people, but we do love a good bottle of wine too. Especially in the fall and winter months. I love wine with a good steak. I love wine with Italian food, especially a good Chianti, yum! Lately one of our favorite meals has been to take some good cheeses, some crackers, and a little meat or bread and then having a good sharp Chardonnay. I never used to like Chardonnay but have found lately I like a drier wine.
Speaking of good wine and cheese, last week I had the chance to meet up again with lovely Maca from the Spanglish Life and we had wine and a fantastic cheese plate! We didn't take a picture this time, we were too busy enjoying our conversation! I was so full of cheese when we were done, but it really was delicious! I can't wait until the next time her and I meet up!
Finally, I got a close up of my boots today because it's Everybody Everywear today and the theme is boots! I have had these boots a million years. They're a bit beat up and loved, but I think it adds to their charm. They are crazy comfortable and they keep me plenty warm on these cold days! And every girl needs a good pair of tall brown boots right?
I don't know how I forgot about EBEW! I need to do that tomorrow! You're hilarious by the way, love your outfit description being several types of wine! haha. Sounds like a fun link up!

All these "wine" colors combined are awesome! The short sleeved sweater is a great GW find and such a pretty color. I am not much of a wine girl. It's Captain and Coke for me :) Heather
ReplyDeleteAhh! My dress is the color of your skirt today! It's BRIGHT and I love it! You're the cutest! :)
ReplyDeleteLoL... I think you have represented most of my favorite wines... LOVE it! :-) The boots are awesome, who cares how old they might be?
ReplyDeleteLove the boots! I love beer as well, wine is slowly growing on me though! I like a lot of the white ones, and pink wine. I don't like warm red wine though, it is strange to me.
ReplyDeleteI love, LOVE your description of how your outfit fits into like 3 different wines...awesome!! Very cute today - and wine ~ you know how I clearly feel about wine, but I love it!
ReplyDeletehahahah I love it! It's a menage a trois of wine!

I love the boots! And all of the colors you are dressed in today! <3
ReplyDeleteI love the color combo. It's so girly but grown up at the same time, you know what I mean? you look wonderful and those cheeses and dips were delicious!
ReplyDeleteI love the cowl neck on your sweater! Details like that are so fun for fall. The colors you paired are very pretty, and I DO love your boots!
ReplyDeleteHaha I love that your outfit has 3 shades of wine! Nothing beats a glass of wine and a bowl of pasta, in my opinion!

every girl does need a good pair of brown knee-high boots. and a good bottle of wine!!
ReplyDeleteI'll never say no to a good cheese plate, or a cute pair of boots.
ReplyDeleteI love your rainbow of wines outfit!!!
ReplyDeleteLoving your bootS!!!
Mmm chardonnay is one of my fave wines, just bottled 30 of them at a local wine shop :) Love the differing shades of pink and purple in this outfit, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove all the pretty shades of pink together! And the brown boots are the perfect finishing touch. ;)
ReplyDeleteLOVE your layering. I think you and I went for the same idea, only I pulled out the red and you pulled out the pink. Fantastic tonal look. Zinfandel is the only wine I can stand to drink, and only with food. I'm more of a whiskey/bourbon/southern comfort girl than wine or beer and even then I only drink about twice a year at that!
ReplyDeleteI whined today and kind of felt better, too. I love your darker layer underneath the brighter colors, and of course covet your necklace.
ReplyDeleteI'm not big into either beer nor wine, but I do enjoy a good chianti classico. I like beaujoulais, too, although I can't spell it, apparently.
ReplyDeleteaha- wine a little, love it! Wine makes everything better doesn't it :)
