Target Trends, Vol. 1: Oxblood

As you may know, I’ve amassed quite the curated collection from Target this season (including these eight pieces). Most recently, the buzz has been all about this bordeaux beauty.

I could preach the Target gospel day-in and day-out (the retailer is typically my go-to for budget fashion finds), but today I’d prefer to focus on the trend that’s resurfaced during my seasonal wardrobe refresh.

Oxblood: That pretty wine-like color that falls somewhere between burgundy and bordeaux — and it’s everywhere… Still. Dominating the runway for the past two seasons and my closet since mid-2011 (mental note: it’s time to re-create these two corporate and cozy looks).

Wearing black-on-black day-in and day-out a few weeks into fall can start to bring you down, so with that said, I’m back to backing the oxblood trend for the upcoming winter-weather season. In my opinion, it’s is just a rich shade of neutral — one that makes working color into your outfit is as easy as shopping for paint by the number. (That’s a saying, right? I’m really domestic.)

Thankfully, Target makes a wardrobe refresh affordable and easy. Here are some of my favorite simple styling combinations:

This versatile hue works as a pop of color or as a full monochromatic look without being overwhelming. To accessorize, I’d go bold with a bright bag or a mix of shades, textures and fabrics. A color like cobalt will pop against a burgundy skirt. It’s fashion — anything goes.

  5. I absolutely LOVE these photos-especially the one with the NYC taxi whizzing by in the background. Too cute! :) And I love the houndstooth dress from Target. Man. Need to get to the Harlem Target ASAP. 😉

  11. Gorgeous, darling! I am loving this color, too. Esp. mixed with neutrals like cream, black and camel. Thanks so much for your nice comment on my blog post the other day! Come to LA so you, Ashley and I can paint the town! 😉
