Wednesday Want List: Oxblood

Wednesday Want List: Oxblood

One of the things I love most about fashion is that with a change of the seasons I get to explore a new part of myself and express that side through fashion. As I said in my vlog about my giveaway my favorite nail polish was NYC in Lincoln Center. Because it was oxblood. OXBLOOD IS MY FAVORITE SHADE OF RED YOU GUYS. Sorry, excited much? Anyways, I am beyond thrilled that the fashion world has caught up. About time something I love besides owls be available in mass. Yes, that is coated with just a tiny pit of bitterness about newsprint from last week but whatever. Onto the goods.

  1. Oxblood sweater - Ok, it's not cold in Florida. Well, not by your standards I'm sure. As I write this it is 57 degrees with a high of 77 degrees. I'm wearing a cardigan as I have since the beginning of November where it maybe dipped down to a low of 40. Everyone else probably has snow and sub zero temperatures but not me. I'm toasty in my cardigan. So I love this sweater because I can wear it with nothing over it and it is absolutely ravishing! It's also only $57 from ChicWish. 
  2. Oxblood bowler bag is perfect for those who have to wear a coat because your bag goes on the outside. It's nice and roomy to fit all over your necessities in and it's only $76 at Topshop.
  3. The Sequin Side dress is not only a high-low in oxblood but it also has open sides. How many of trends can we fit into one dress? It's obviously a front runner for dress of the year. SO CUTE. It's only $57 at topshop too. 
  4. VAIN Velvet Lips Ballerinas shoes are to die for. Aren't those lips cute? Plus they have studs, plus they are in oxblood and they are only  $44 at topshop. Honestly, between the dress the bag and the shoes I'm going to go bankrupt!
  5. Essie is kind of on the expensive side for me as far as nail polish goes. I can't see spending $8 on a bottle of polish I might only use once or twice within a few years but in Oxblood I'd buy it in bulk! It is widely available at many retail stores like Walmart, Target, Walgreens, CVS, ect. So don't get mad because I didn't put a specific link to it. You can find it anywhere.
  6. Lastly these Scrolled Trim Shorts in Oxblood are to die for! I have a pair that isn't quite as cute from Lauren Conrad Kohl's line. Yes, I know gasp I bought something from LC even though I dislike but hey! They  were cute and on clearance and in oxblood and it was last year when there was NOTHING in oxblood. Sue me! These ones however aren't LC's and they are only $45 from ChicWish.
So look, I made it through one whole WWL without putting anything skulls in it. You're welcome. I had to ignore Alexander McQueen's WHOLE line because everything is in skulls and oxblood this season. If I had won that $550 million dollar lottery drawing I'd be dressed head to toe in his stuff.

What's your favorite fall shade?
Do you like the oxblood trend?

    1. I recommend southern California. Similar weather but it gets cooler at night. Florida has palmetto bugs which are a form of cockroach. Doesn't matter how "clean" you are, you'll get them and they are disgusting. guhfgadfg I don't do bugs. I just can't.
