Navy + burgundy color combo

When?  October 8, 2012

What for?  An early morning class at the library, which meant leaving before the sun came up. This made for a spectacular drive to work, driving into the sunrise that backlit Mount Hood. But for early-morning photos, not so great due to the necessary flash. (Also annoying me is that bit of white tank top photo-bombing the pics, and the fact that I forgot to put on lipstick.)

But what makes me happy about this outfit? The color combo of navy + burgundy/maroon/berry/oxblood/whatever you call it. And this oh-so-comfortable pencil skirt (which I also waxed rhapsodic about last week in this post). There’s just something about a pencil skirt that immediately elevates even the simplest of outfits. And this is definitely a simple outfit.

P.S. I also wore my navy blue trench coat and carried my burgundy tote bag (both seen here), but I didn’t think to get corresponding photos. It was early. You’ll just have to imagine the color-coordination-to-the-max.
