Today's Everyday Fashion: Brocade and Burgundy
/
This catalog photo instantly caught my eye because the brocade pattern is so similar to a nearly-decade-old pencil skirt still in my closet. I loved the idea of mixing brocade and burgundy, two huge trends for fall, so I decided to give pairing the two together a shot. Hot pink didn't look quite right with the more muted tone of my skirt but the blush pink was a nice substitute. I've always believed in hanging onto something if you still like it, because everything comes back into style eventually. And this time it really paid off!

ps. A couple weeks ago I shared photos of this white dress that we shot in Tampa (here). Wanted to also share the video of my Daytime segment about my book - you can watch online! As well as a picture of my feature in this month's Simple Grace magazine (below)!
