Featuring my bargain H&M sweater, and destructed Rag & Bones from 2013. Mules and bag are from the more recent 2 seasons.
I think burgundy is nice with lilac, what do you think?
Close up was taken outside. The lilac color is making me inexplicably happy and in a fresh spring mood.

My word, I love the lilac with burgundy! You look fab.
I wear a lot of burgundy so this is great inspiration for me. I think your burgundy might be more on purple/aubergine end of the spectrum than the red end? It tones really well with the lilac.

Gorgeous! So great to see you. Yes, burgundy and lilac are yummy together!
I am not sure I would have ever thought to combine lilac and burgundy but it so works- you inspire me to try it - thanks. And that bag is so awesome- just saying

ooh, nice, Denise. -- not basic bitch look at all ;-)
Wow - I LOVE this color combo , although it has a plummier look on my screen ( which I like ) . I need an inexpensive sweater just like this to get me through the next month or two until the weather breaks ....

Lisa P , Brooklyn-- The burgundies I've purchased definitely have a plum aspect to them. And the sweater brings out the purple too. I love my cheap sweater. I've worn it twice with great happiness, it's super soft. I may only get two more wears out of it but I'm ok with that! When I was at H&M a month ago, I asked the SA where I could find lilac items, and she led me to this, which she said "has been here a long time." Like that made it bad? They have a basics section, that's where I find a lot of camis, tee, sweatshirts, etc.
UmmLila -- I'm not sure I understand what basic bitch is but I'm glad you saw where I was going with my headline. ;-) I am millennial clueless!
efbgen -- The bag is from Botkier. Unfortunately they don't have my model anymore. I need a big bag for work.

L'Oreal Brow Plumping Gel -- recently discontinued. In fact the above mascara is getting scarce.
Q tips are my essential styling tool to perfect the eye liner.
Kate, Firecracker and Sharan -- Thanks I'm not always confident about wearing cool colors, thinking warmer tones are better. But a make up artist once told me I have both in my skin tone so that makes me think I can pull of cooler tones like lilac.

Yes, burgundy and lilac work together very well. The lilac is very good for your delicate coloring.

I like the color combo, and I would never think to try it. I also like how simple your outfit is--the elements don't compete with each other, but you notice each one. Those shoes are beautiful.

I would never have thought to pair lilac and burgundy--it looks great! I have a couple lilac pieces that I haven't been able to work in. It looks like I need to expand my color combining ideas.
Katerina replied 6 years ago
Agree with the others - a fantastic colour combination! Beautiful outfit and you look amazing in it!
CocoLion replied 6 years ago
I can't believe how nice you all are about this simple outfit! I mostly posted it because I thought it made Angie's point.
