Ageless Style is a monthly style challenge and link up for women "over a certain age". Each month we pick a different theme and style an outfit based on that theme.
In honor of Earth Day this month, Cammi picked the theme "Earth Tones". Earth tones are browns, tans, umber, brick red, terra cotta, yellow orchre, warm greys, shades of green, brown oranges, burnt siennas, and grey blues. They are colors found in nature.
For this challenge, I decided to wear this dark Burgundy or brick red dress that I received as a Christmas present from my son.
Now I know certain colors can appear different on everyone's computer screen or phone, especially anything in the red family, but trust me, this dress is a deep, dark Burgundy. In this photo shoot when I'm facing the sun, the dress appears brighter, but when I turn away from the sun, I feel the true color is shown.
I styled my dress with neutrals, choosing a neutral bag and shoes.
For jewelry I chose red, black and muted silver. Burgundy lipstick completed the look.
My dress was on my Amazon wish list. I can't seem to find it on line now since it was so long ago, but I think THIS DRESS, in a different color, is very similar. The only thing different is the sleeves.
And now, be sure to check out the Earth Tone outfits of the other ladies and then link up with us below!
Have A Great Day! Amy

Oh my word, that color looks fantastic on you! What a amazing deep color!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy! I felt so good wearing it.
DeleteIt is an amazing dress and the color is gorgeous on you! I love those open toe booties too! I have finally transitioned to sandals now but with the cooler days still wear my sneakers a lot.

Thank you so much. Our weather was so warm, now we went back to normal and we've been stuck in the 40s and 50s. :(
DeleteI just love how you picked a bright color for this theme Amy!! It's amazing on you.

It's actually not bright at all, but a very deep, dark, brick red. The sunlight photos aren't true to color, but the ones where my back is to the sun is. Thanks so much.
DeleteThis dress is so beautiful on you!! I absolutely love the color, and the Earth tones theme is such a good idea for this month.

Thanks Grace. At first I wasn't thrilled with the theme because my first thought was "browns" and I didn't want to wear brown in the spring, but when I googled Earth Tones I realized I had a lot more options.
DeleteAmy, this dress is so pretty and the color is gorgeous. Perfect on you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carrie!
DeleteWhat a beautiful color on you, this is def. YOUR color!!! I love the nude heels with the dress. So pretty!

DeleteWhat a pretty dress and even more that it was a gift from your son! It's such a rich color. I have had pretty good success with ordering on Amazon!
ReplyDeleteThank you! That is good to hear about Amazon.
DeleteWhat fun it was to see everyone's take on this month's prompt. What a gorgeous color you selected. And that dress fits like it was made for you. Very pretty, feminine feel to it. I have those same sandals or some very similar. Now to find them!! They are perfect for this time of year!!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to see how everyone approached this theme. Thank you.
