Fall Trend: Oxblood…Can’t we just call it maroon?
posted on September 13, 2012 | by Amanda Holstein
Want to incorporate a new color into your wardrobe for fall? Try OXBLOOD. Okay, okay, I’m sorry. I can’t take this seriously. Who decided to call it oxblood?? How about maroon, or merlot, or burgundy? Whatever you call it, this really is a stunning color that will become your new neutral for fall.

I’m with ya–let’s just keep it simple and call it maroon! Whatever you call it though, it is gorgeous–and I’ve been trying to find pieces to add it into my wardrobe for fall! I love these looks.

I was calling it Burgundy, but I’m slightly dyslexic with spelling and Twitter on my phone has no spell check, so I’m now calling it wine – I picked up a lovely wine coloured pair of shorts in J Crew the other day and I’m so excited to wear them , perfect for Fall in LA!
Amanda Says
Post authorI like that! “Wine” has a nice ring to it. And it’s easy to spell :)

I am SO with you on this! haha It’s maroon in my book. Oxblood makes it sound like you killed something, which then makes me think of blood and vampires.
Amanda Says
Post authorExcept you love vampires, so isn’t that a good thing?? hahah
