Tuesday Temptations : Oxblood

Tuesday Temptations: Oxblood

One | Two | Three | Four | Five | Six | Seven | Eight | Nine

It's the season's hottest color with quite possibly the worst name. That's right, friends, I'm talking about oxblood. I'm really not sure why we can't call it maroon, scarlet, wine, cranberry or burgundy (See? So many other perfectly acceptable options!), but I'm willing to look past its all-too-literal description simply because of its rich, warm shade that makes me wish I was cozied up in an oversized sweater with a cup of tea and a stack of magazines.

What's your favorite fall hue?

XO,
Alison

  3. I am so excited about this color! I fell in love with an oxblood (totally agree on the bad name) leather pencil skirt at the new Tysons Corner Rack last night! It was fall perfection. I'm also excited about green being big this year.

  6. I agree- love the color, hate the name! So many better choices & oxblood just makes me shudder. Such a gross name for such a pretty color.

    I'm just going to call it "wine" from now on- much better connotations for me!
