Cabernet


Yes, I love fashion. But I love a number of other things, too! Literature, football, food, music, and yes, even wine. Which is maybe why I absolutely love the colors of wine in clothes. To me, nothing is as sophisticated as a beautiful champagne-colored silk. And nothing makes me feel more robust and alive than a rich cabernet color - just like the color in this dress!


This was another gem from the recent Mint Julep sidewalk sale. I thought it would be perfect for work (with a jacket, as you see here), or for an evening party (maybe for the holidays?), and even totally pre-fall with tights and a sweater!!

  3. You think just like me. I always visualize a dress for work and play and if it has potential to be worn with tights! I'll usually think about wearing boots as opposed to shoes as well. Anyways, I'm a big supporter of this color, especially on us blondes. It looks amazing on you and I have to admit, I like the new spot you took your picture in. Think it's just the opposite side of your deck but none the less it's a nice backdrop. Have a great weekend girl :)

    Beautiful colors! I have this dress in emerald and LOVE it. Wine can be so inspirational: the colors and the flavors can inspire... or you can just drink a bottle, rummage through your closet and see what kind of crazy magic you make!
