I have a lot of shoes. I know I do. So how is it exactly that, at the moment, I have no navy, nude or cognac pumps in my closet? Flats, yes. In all 3 colours. Heels, no. Which posed something of a dilemma when I had to decide what shoes to wear with this blue-navy-yellow outfit.

If the title didn’t provide the clue, it was burgundy that came to the rescue. It’s sedate enough to pass for a neutral, and it works nicely with the other colours here. Bonus: I have a lovely burgundy bag to match.

(P.S. I’m fighting a nasty cold, as are the kidlets and my entire extended family, so I may not be around much this week. Hope my Canadian peeps are enjoying a lovely Thanksgiving, and everyone is having a great week.)

  1. merry thanksgiving! you’ve got me craving burgundy even more than before–this time with yellow and navy! i love subtle primary color dressing!

  2. I just discovered your blog and had to tell you that I love it! You’re such a breath of fresh air in an otherwise style blogger world of everyone looking the same. Great job!

  3. I hope you’re feeling better and that the turkey worked some cold curing magic. Do I sense a shoe shopping trip in the near future?

    • Thanksgiving was cancelled this year, whomp whomp. Everyone was way too sick to think about cooking/eating anything.

      I’m not planning a shopping trip, but if I happen to come across one of those pairs – for the right price – I’m amenable. I really do have enough shoes, though.
