Can you believe this gorgeous capelette is from H+M?! I had to do a quadruple take. It reminds of this Chloe cape, which would set you back a cool $4,600.
I imagine pairing this with an elegant ivory sheath (Adam Lippes, on sale for $300):
Ground this look in a fall color in the form of these burgundy suede booties ($180):
Top off with the Sophie Hulme bowling bag ($870):
I’m also hung-up on this gorgeous Olivia Pope-esque work-appropriate dress (on sale for $198):
Finish with Rockstuds ($895) and a carry-all tote ($60)
Lastly, how about this gown for a knock-out formal look ($440) paired with burgundy tassel earrings ($68), these affordable mesh-and-suede sandals ($160 — what a steal!), and a YSL clutch ($935):
Other great burgundy accent pieces: TopShop faux croc flats ($25); Elizabeth Cole earrings ($73); Balenciaga pouch ($1,025); Alexander Wang Lovisa pumps ($495); fur collar ($125); and
P.S. I recently snagged this burgundy/cranberry lace sheath for a big presentation I had to give in front of an audience of 300 (!) — I had to go into hair and makeup and wear one of those Madonna/Beyonce mics. It was amazing. I needed to wear something that made me feel uber-confident, and this form-fitting number did the trick, especially paired with some suede pointed-toe pumps. And boom goes the dynamite.
