Blouse: French Connection (similar), Leggings: Windsor (identical!), Heels: Zara, Clutch: Forever 21 (similar), Sunglasses: Chanel, Bracelets: J. Crew, Forever 21, Fornash and C. Wonder, Necklace: Poshmark (love this one!), Rings: She's Unique

I came across this cobalt and oxblood color combination on Pinterest recently and knew I had to recreate it. I was so struck by it immediately and couldn't wait to pair the two. I forced myself to wait for September, though, because I couldn't justify the faux leather leggings in August -- even though I was looking for every excuse! Add in a pair of white pumps and a lucite clutch and you have my NYFW day two outfit!

This blouse also made me realize how much I actually love cobalt. Surprisingly, I don't have much of it in my closet, but it's such a great color for fall that I'd definitely advise stocking up ;)

XO,
Alison

  4. I LOVE cobalt and contrasted against rich oxblood is so stunning! Your hair looks perfect as always and I'm kicking myself for not purchasing that clutch when I saw it awhile back! Such a good F21 find!!

  16. I love this color combo too! Okay tell me - in these pix your hair looks lighter and in the previous ones they look darker... are my eyes deceiving me? haha

    1. I think it might just be the difference in light :) I don't dye my hair (never have), but sometimes it looks lighter/darker based on what I do to it. In the first pics, it was mostly air dried and then curled whereas in the second I used a hair dryer. So maybe that's it? But I do see what you mean :)
