I am just loving all the colors of wine that are on trend this fall!  Nordstrom has you wine-lovers covered with a great selection of clothing, accessories, footwear, and beauty.  For this look I mixed a bunch together with shades of red; no need to go matchy matchy with your outfits.  The bag is called Dark Cherry, the scarf's primary color is red, the lips a brighter red, the sweater burgundy, the boots are a dark bronze.  Mixed together, each color looks more rich.  The wine color trend is one that is worth investing in if you like it; it is a perennial hit each fall and winter and is easy to transition into spring with shades of blush, ivory, and lighter denim.  And did you know Nordstrom now carries J. Crew?  So awesome!

I wore this look on a Friday when I worked from home.  During the day I rocked the sweater and jeans and just added the scarf to make it more polished.  When I get the chance to work from home on Fridays, Karl and I do a coffee happy hour at Vigilante Coffee, an independent roastery and cafe in Hyattsville, Maryland.

We've been going for years and love seeing it grow and gain popularity.  Much deserved, they see coffee as a form of art, take their reputation seriously while still being down to earth and friendly.  It was nice to have a little coffee (in this case a Japanese pour-over on ice) with my wine!

Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post.  I've been a Nordy Girl for years, since my retail days when I'd start my day with one of their Ice Storms from the espresso bar and spend my lunchbreak enjoying the beautiful serenity of their stores.  I'm proud to partner with a company that continues to offer stellar customer service in person and online and continue to grow their size selection for women's fashion!
