Welcome to My Closet – Everything Plum

The color that is more in this season is 'wine'. As I was looking through items in these colors I realized how many different shades there are and how many different names are used:

Purple 

Burgundy

Lavender, 

Wine, 

Eggplant,

Aubergine, 

Plum, 

Violet. 

Can you think of any more?

This top is another old work item. From Bebe:

The Purple Fur Coat you already saw couple days ago:

The mink pom pom trim shawl again you saw in the 'feathers and fur' post...

This purple blouse from Bebe has a very flattering cut. I originally bought it to wear with black tuxedo pants for evening/clubbing. That was pre-blogging days. Now I like to mix it up during the day as well...

This top is from Turkey from years ago. I love the silver graphic on it. I originally bought it to pair over a silver sequined tank.

 

Here also paired with purple ribbed tights:

 The Old Navy Scarf and the Gap Sweater are such different shades aren't they? The sweater is almost blue purple...

 

Here is the scarf adding a pop of color:

And here tied as a belt:

And here is the sweater:

This tunic sweater is from Forever 21 and very old. I wore it a lot years ago but apparently have not worn it for a while as I couldn't find any outfits with it.

I love these light purple platform heels from Steve Madden:

Can be worn during the day:

Or at night:

This huge Via Spiga tote is thrift find by mom. She thought I could use it as a diaper bag but it is so roomy that I use it for an overnight bag.

 This Christian Dior sunglasses were a Nordstrom Rack find a few years back. I wear them more with my hot pink cover up dress over swim suit during summer. The necklace is even ages older than that. Haven't worn it in a while.

These mini wedges are a new purchase and haven't been worn yet. Ordered them when I was getting the Lita's from Lulu's...

Here are some outfits with my tights:

Purple Ribbed tights:

And Burgundy tights:

The Forever 21 Burgundy cords and the pretty peacock scarf from Turkey:

 These slacks are again very very old from Forever 21. They were for work years ago...

 

This is also showcasing the shrug I totally forgot to include in the group shot.

This Mango Pencil skirt is a great shade of deep purple but it is at dry cleaner's right now:

This YesStyle Dress as you might have remembered I thought was going to be red but came out burgundy and a bit shorter than I would like. Still I have found ways to wear it in colder and warmer weather:

Hope you enjoyed all my purples, wines, plums and burgundy's...

Stay tuned tomorrow for 'Animal Prints & Lizard Skins'!

Welcome to My Closet – Juicy Oranges & Candy Apple Reds

Orange like mustard is a cool new color the last two seasons. I didn't own many items in these colors but have been acquiring slowly...

ORANGES

 When I put all these side by side I realize how some are this warm bright orange while the other are faded burnt orange color.

 Silky pants from Romwe.com

The boyfriend cardigan from gap!

 This super long and chunky winter scarf was a xmas present from my step dad years ago. It has matching mittens that I was too lazy to take out. I think it is from J Crew.

The two tee's are from Closet.
Here is one:

The polka dot scarf is from H&M, the beaded one is from Turkey and the silk sash is from J Crew.

Here is the silk sash used as a belt on my b-day last year:

The beaded scarf:

The polka dot scarf:

I love this clutch. It is an elongated rectangle which makes it very cool. Got this from Arden B on sale to match a dress I bought back when I wore very matching clothes!

The earrings are from various boutiques and the ring is from H&M.

 These super cool and long leather fringe earrings a Thread Show purchase from last year. Same designer (Micha Design) as the one I visited this Sunday.

These long tunic sweaters I remembered later... Both from Mango!
The thick one was a VS purchase during pregnancy! Very thick and warm and I use it mostly for a house sweater during winter months.
The 'rust' colored one is new from H&M. Haven't worn it yet.

This one is from my sister's 'give away' pile. Great pieces for Halloween time. This is from last year when it was actually cool in October, unlike the mid 80's weather we have now.

These orange shorts were bought for our first family trip with my son to Acapulco 4 years ago:

I like pairing them with other bold colors:

 

This Orange strapless top with gold sequins was a $5 purchase from a street vendor in Turkey:

The cool flip flops are also a last summer purchase from Turkey.

And now the REDS!

 Here are my pretty red pieces!

Showing off some screaming red tights:

Silk blouse from Ann Taylor (old work items)...
And some other silk blouses I obviously did not pull for the group photo but remembered when I went through my past outfit photos:

I think my mom got this at a thrift store. It is F21 and the crop cape is so adorable and totally in now.

 I thrifted this F21 coat myself. The red polka dot over black lining is also adorable.

 The tartan plaid purse mixed with animal print...

This adorable hat is a TJ Maxx purchase. Very retro looking...

 
The super comfy sneaker wedges from Turkey!

 The flats from my maternity bin!

My amazing designer stilettos.

 

Sweet:

Or Sexy:

And the Lita's Of course:

The fringe suede purse from Thread Show!

The cap is my mom's. The scarf from F21, the hand made necklace is from Turkey and the large beaded one is from a summer boutique.

Here is the red scarf and my red tee as well:

I also have silk scarf with butterfly print as well:

I didn't do an individual photos but there was also red jeans from F21 and a few sweaters and of course my Lita's and some other scarves too. And realized I also have a red dress and a red suit and red shorts!

Here is the Ann Taylor Suit Blazer:

 

The F21 Red Dress:

The Red Jeans:

Red Sweater Twin Set & the Purse:

Red Jeans and the silk scarf:

 

The red denim shorts:

Lets not forget my super old red flare pants:
