❧ Burgundy, Black & a Little Gold ♡ ❧

Monday October 19 burgundy and black outfit featuring leather coat, wide leg trousers, burgundy Mary Jane heels, gold butterfly hair clip and jewelry

Some outfits are soft and romantic, and some have a little more attitude. Today? I decided we could absolutely do both. 😂❤️

I went with burgundy, black leather, and just enough gold to make everything feel a little dressed up. It’s one of those looks that feels classic without being boring—and yes, I found a way to sneak in a butterfly, too. ♡

Monday October 19 burgundy and black outfit scrapbook featuring all outfit details

❧ Burgundy Meets Black ❧

The starting point is my wine-burgundy V-neck sweater, tucked into high-waisted black wide-leg trousers. I love the contrast of that rich color against black. Then I added my black leather coat, which gives the whole outfit a more structured, confident feeling.

And you know me: the belt matters! 😂 A black belt with a gold double-circle buckle ties the pieces together and adds a little sparkle right at the waist.

❧ The Shoes Deserve Their Own Moment ❧

Today’s shoes are burgundy patent platform Mary Janes with chunky heels and gold buckles. They’re shiny, a little vintage, and just the right amount of fun. The burgundy picks up the sweater beautifully, while the platform adds a little personality to those flowing trousers.

❧ A Butterfly and a Little Gold ❧

For my hair, I went with an updo and a gold butterfly clip. It’s such a pretty little detail against my auburn hair, and I love that it softens the leather coat.

I added layered gold necklaces with a teardrop pendant and gold tassel earrings. And the finishing touch? My shimmering mustard-gold almond nails—still bringing a little autumn sunshine along for the ride. 💛

❧ Classic, Effortless, Confident—Still Me! ❧

I think that’s what I enjoyed about putting this one together. The sweater is cozy, the leather coat brings a bit of edge, the shoes are wonderfully retro, and the butterfly is there to remind everybody that I will always find room for something feminine. 😂

Now tell me: Are you a burgundy-and-black kind of girl, or would you swap the leather for something softer? And can we agree those Mary Janes are awfully cute? ♡

With a little lace and a lot of style,
Katie ♡
