True Beauty Files: I refuse to say Oxblood…

December 10, 2012

True Beauty Files

Posted 09/12

Okay I know the color “oxblood” is all the rage but I simply cannot bring myself to say the word. It might have to do with the fact that I am sqeamish. So here you are… a set of photos in oxblood burgundy, wine, maroon what have you pants…
{Jacket” c/o Sheinside, Sweater: Gap, Pants: c/o Sheinside, Boots: F21, Wrap Bracelet: c/o InPink}
Evenings are way too short here with the 5pm sunset so we offset the winter depression with lots of eggnog and christmas music. Another way to beat the winter blues? Invite a bunch of your friends over for good food, drinks, and Christmas cheer:) 
 And although I LOVE the mild winters here in Atlanta, I have to admit my midwestern heart misses the snow in December. Just a tad envious of those of you that got dumped over the weekend. I am dying to go sledding……I haven’t grown up yet.
Thank you all for the beautiful responses and ideas to the last post! I am amazed by humanity sometimes, and I am thankful for getting to hear about your tidings of good will. 
P.S. Today is the last day you can vote in the J.Renee Blogger Style Challenge. I am actually only a few votes shy of the lead so yours really does help! Thank you kindly for doing so! (You can vote each day in case you already voted.)

  1. Love that jacket!! I am ready for some consistent weather here. Snow would be a plus, too! Im off to vote for you!

  2. I love the burgundy color. I also love the jacket you paired the denim with… it’s gorgeous!

  3. Yeah oxblood just seems like a ridiculous made up name. I like wine or burgundy. Very cute jacket!!!

  4. christin says:

    I think those are a beautiful cabernet 🙂 And I’m dying for some snow here in NYC!

  5. CP and KW says:

    love your jacket! these photos are gorgeous

  6. I agree… that is no name for such a beautiful color! I’m starting to get use to the early nights. I found myself putting little M in his PJs at 6pm for a few days there (when he goes to bed around 9!). Definitely messed with my schedule there for a bit! As for snow, I think it should snow in December then be done with. Sadly, it never works that way here in PA!

  7. Jenny says:

    You’re so gorgeous Anna! Love that jacket.

  8. Cara-Mia says:

    I also refuse to call anything “oxblood”. Bleh.
    Beautiful jacket!

  9. kimberrleigh says:

    I hate the word Oxblood too! I think its just weird/gross. I’m all for wine (both in color & drink form)!
    I moved from Pittsburgh to Memphis, and these mild winters are crazy to me! Although it went from 72 yesterday to 44 today… I still miss snow (only a little bit). 🙂

  10. You look so pretty, Anna! And I am the same. No more oxblood!!!

  11. Ahhh I also think the word oxblood is a little much…ha! I prefer “wine colored” 🙂 You look beautiful and I was always curious about Sheinside’s clothing…you are rocking it for sure!

  12. Gloria says:

    I couldn’t believe “oxblood” was a real trend when I heard about it – so gross! Bring back maroon and burgandy!

  13. Alex says:

    Love love you in these burgundy pants 🙂 And I definitely often say oxblood, but now that I think of it it’s a little weird haha.

  14. Amy says:

    Anna, I love this outfit and I plan to steal it when I’m back home in cold weather next week! Thanks for the inspiration!

  15. Faith says:

    no oxblood for me either! i mean, the color already had a description so it confuses me as to why it needed a new color name but i digress.

    gorgeous outfit! loving your pants!

  16. Martina says:

    Love your jacket here Anna – great with the jeans! Have a super start to your week!

  17. Michaela says:

    Can’t bear to say it either! So chic and stylish. Loving the dark colored denim this season.

  18. Chioma says:

    love this look! especially that jacket, it’s the perfect color 🙂

    Burgundy looks so good with mustard yellow and a deep purple! Love the way you styled them.

  20. Angela says:

    The pants and jacket work so well together.

  21. Nuha says:

    oxblood IS such an awkward word. I wonder who came up with it?! And I’m not loving the early nights either. And I’ll gladly take some snow too! My pregnant body is so unsure of what to do with these warm temps!

  22. Heidi says:

    Cute outfit !I love this color, hate the name, ha. The darkness is not so fun, but the cozy Christmas is nice. -Heidi

  23. Kate says:

    Thank you!!! It’s a great color, definitely “wine”, not oxblood! I’m a vegetarian so I find the name oxblood sooo repellent!

  24. A Zuniga says:

    DANG GUUUUURL! Those “sugarplum” pants look killer on you- I’m a little obsessed with naming colors, thought I’d try to go the festive route for you. 😉

  25. sasha says:

    Beautiful outfit, Anna! I love the color combination of beige and “burgundy”. It’s so cozy. And you are absolutely right about the name of burgundy, wine, maroon… whatever we want to call it. Where did the name oxblood come from before this season?!

    Anyway, you look stunning!!

  26. Nicole Marie says:

  27. LyddieGal says:

    call it what you please, it looks beautiful with the camel!
    Chic on the Cheap

  28. Not a fan of that colour name either! I do however appreciate your pairing of it with the leather jacket + your pretty bracelets, those are lovely and delicate. p.s Sending some Canadian snow your way 😉

  29. OMG am I out of touch with fashion or what!?! I had never even heard of the word before!

  30. love it. i need to get me a nice leather jacket. have a wonderful week!!:)

  31. Shannon says:

    I agree with you! I hate the word “oxblood”, but I love the color. I love your pants and jacket. Gorgeous Fall style.

  32. Alice says:

    Such a nice colour. Now I feel I need these… x

  33. I totally, 100% agree with the whole oxblood thing. You just listed off 3 other perfectly great names!

    You look beautiful as always, Anna!

  34. Lindsay says:

    I love this look Anna. And those boots…forever 21? I need to go 🙂 xo

  35. I think that bordeaux is a much lovelier word and just as fitting!!! You look lovely, darling…as always 🙂 XO Brynn

  36. cleartheway says:

    I love this color, but I am WITH YOU on the whole “oxblood” word thing. I love how practical you are in styling your outfits. It’s totally do-able and so classy/chic!

    – Kate

  37. Julie says:

    oh goodness, I am so happy to hear you say that because I can’t say it either! I dunno…just can’t. love this colour pairings, so lovely.

  38. I think it’s funny, about the name of the color, b/c my mom calls it burgundy and maroon – BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT IT IS. LOL.
    You look great, as usual 🙂
    XO!
