It’s that time of year, when many of us have to put in a beautiful appearance with family and friends. Packing light, and smart, is a good way to begin. And cranberry is such an appropriate color for autumn holidays…

Sweater – Tory Burch, blouse – Rebecca Taylor

As usual, a really great combination. Unfortunately, I cannot wear gray next to my face. I am so pale (writh freckles) and very dark brown hair it rather makes me appear severely anemic or hepatic! Any other color ideas to pair with my burgundy/cranberry separates? Thanks so much.
Navy, brown, cognac, raspberry
I have similar coloring and like burgundy with a bright navy.
I really like the new look to your blog.
I need to shake things up on mine.
Remember: if you do have a gray top, you can always add a colorful sweater. I like the way that neutrals give a look a solid foundation. If you find that they're tough on your look, scarves can really brighten them up. Plus, you can get a lot of mileage out of neutrals.
That said, deep chocolate brown is a very nice neutral for your coloring, and it looks amazing with burgundy.
I agree with Fiddlestix! Navy and cranberry are incredibly lux, throw in some ivory as a counterpoint to the richness and you are fab!
I am off to look at a couple of these right now…those booties are beautiful…gorgeous color combos!!
Gorgeous color combo. Just lovely.
My colors for Fall and Winter! I have the solid neutrals I need and was looking for some patterned items. Building my Christmas wish list. :)
Wonderful colour combination…great for the christmas holidays too.
My winter purchase were a cranberry sweater and a long sleeve silk t to wear as alone or an underlayer. This color is gorgeous also with camel, black, white and or course, denim.
Cranberry is a good color for me, so I tend to stock up in those years when it is available. Love the Munros–I have them sitting in my Nordies cart. They've been sitting for about a month. I'm hoping for a sale.
Love the color combination. Too bad most of the items are too warm for Tucson even in the dead of winter. Husband and I had lunch outside in the shade on Monday. Mostly T-shirts and shorts around us.
This blog is one of my favourites which I read regularly.
Today I would nevertheless like to comment on the aspect of practicality. I do not think that the shoes shown for the long walk would actually hold up for a long walk, one for comfort, and the other reason is that it gets quite muddy near the ground this time of year and it would really be a pity to ruin these wonderful shoes.
Very nice. And very realistic. Thanks.
I have been living in gray (my favorite neutral) this fall, pairing it with burgundy and teal-meets-peacock blue. I love your ideas. As usual, you've inspired me to look at what I already have and pair them in new ways. I'm a skirt girl–so I'd probably swap out the dressy trousers for a skirt in a similar fabric.
It's so easy to think about planning with your guidelines…and then 'shopping my closet". One thing I am seriously considering is completely reorganizing my closet–by color, not by type of item…so I'd hang gray pants with gray sweaters, rather than the usual method.
I just recently reorganized my closet by color and realized I had the beginnings of 4 different capsule wardrobes, two for summer/spring; 1 for fall; 1 for our deep/frigid winter. No wonder I never had anything to wear – nothing was complete.
Beautiful color combination
Those boots! i am so totally in love. Great combo.
Bummer! I was ready to buy several Uniqlo items, but found out that the UK Uniqlo website doesn't ship to Denmark *SNIFF*
