I have to give my mom (aka Julie Lopez, CEO and bosslady extraordinaire)
some credit. You see, just like the fashion industry, decisions for shoes
regarding colors, materials, toe shapes, heel styles, etc. must be made
months and months before the shoes actually go on sale.

Back in February, she came back from an uber busy business trip to our
shoe factory in Italy just raving about burgundy, burgundy, burgundy.
“Just wait, it’s going to be huge this fall,” she told me, and I nodded,
although I had my doubts.

Talk about being wrong. Now whenever I open up any September fashion
issue, it looks like someone has spilled a massive bottle of cabernet, merlot,
or pinot noir all over the pages . . . and I’m liking what I’m seeing.

Especially when I think about using our Burgundy Carli to spice up any
fall outfit.
fall outfit.
In honor of this season’s must have hue, I’ve put together a few outfits which
I’ll be sharing with you all over the coming days that I think pair beautifully
with our classic heels. And, just like any good chef creating delicious food
and wine combinations, I’ve tried to include a lil’ something something for
every style palette, so please let me know what you think!

Burgundy with a Pop of Turquoise
I am loving the addition of turquoise into this outfit, if I do say so myself. I think the contrast of a cool tone brings out the richness of the burgundy and makes it look so luxe.
This outfit is also a bit lighter, which works well for those of you like me who live in climates where we’re still a few months away from colder weather, and for those of you living in places where crisp, beautiful fall mornings are right around the corner, a) I’m jealous, and b) layer in a camel peacoat for some added warmth and you’ll be the definition of simple chic.
And while we’re on the color camel, our Camel Charlotte heel would also be fifty shades of perfect with this outfit. And it would go with nearly everything you already own. Just sayin’.
Stay tuned for more burgundy bliss, and in the meantime, leave me a comment and tell me how YOU will be wearing burgundy this fall!
