No outfit is complete until you have the right shoes. So this week is all about footwear for fall. It’s okay to be excited, I am.
Burgundy is always fall appropriate, but this year, it’s especially hot. So why not invest in a pair of burgundy pumps to wear with charcoal, navy and teal?

Several of you have sent e-mails and DMs asking for more business casual and casual work attire for women in senior roles and management. Offices are leaving professional attire behind in favor of denim and what one reader described as “dressy workout clothes.” So how do you dress like the boss when you need to […]
Are you tired of Gift Guides, yet? Yesterday, I got one from my accountant. My accountant. And I like Rick, but I am not so hard up for suggestions that anyone will find a one-year subscription to Quicken under the tree. But because how much we love and like people is not determined by how […]
This weekend, I got two hours to myself for the first time in months. Really to myself. My child was asleep. My dogs were asleep. Kyle was off playing cards with his friends. My house was clean, and there was nothing else to do but sit in my bed and scroll Instagram. It was glorious. […]

When I was in my 20s, I bought every trendy nail polish, eye color, and lip gloss. Sure, I could only wear them on the weekends, but why not wear emerald green liner? In my 30s, I became enamored with skincare and took every “must-have” product for a spin. But in my 40s, my skin […]
Belle, when researching this post, did you also look at patent pumps in this shade? I have a pair that are worn into the ground and desperately need to be replaced but I cannot find a pair of burgundy patent pointed toe pumps in the 3″-5″ range despite my best efforts (Kate Space Licorice pumps are the ideal shape in my mind).
Oh, I love these! Too bad even the Paid Intern version is out of my price range.
These are suede and meant for fall/winter in DC — how can we protect them from the elements? Electing to wear them on a day that won't rain is nearly impossible here!
Thanks in advance!
Belle: Burgundy Pumps + navy skirt = navy tights?
BN: Take them to a cobbler and have them treated. Also invest in a suede eraser and brush.
Anna: I only wear burgundy pumps with pants for two reasons. One, I've never warmed to black and burgundy together. Too many Guido want to be IT guys have ruined that combo for me. And the tights thing is an issue, so I just stick with pants. But if you're observing the 2-out-of-3 rule, you need to match the tights to the skirt, or, gasp, wear nude hose.
