I absolutely love burgundy. Really. What a shock.

Put this outfit on to hang out with a friend one day last week. Brand new Mossimo jeggings from Target... I tell you, better than regular "jeans" any day.
Of course, the jeggings sold at Target are NOT your average jeggings... most things advertised that way really are just leggings made out of denim, and look like it. The Mossimo ones I buy regularly at Target are NORMAL SKINNY JEANS but made with a lot of extra stretch through the crotch and waist area. The result is that they wear like normal jeans, no one is the wiser because they fit correctly everywhere up top (leggings tend to have the dreaded "cameltoe" effect or show off... well... everything you don't want shown off), but are much, MUCH more comfortable/wearable than tight, stiff skinny jeans made for girls with nothing in the hip range.

And, yes, I mixed different shades of burgundy. But I found the effect to be quite nice.




And, a closeup on my makeup, because I do get quite a lot of comments on this shade of eyeshadow and feel it deserves some explanation:

So, I've mentioned in the past that I'm a big fan of layering eyeshadow. Last year, my dear best friend Lara got me a box of 120 shades of eyeshadow for Christmas. This would be makeup heaven for me, because I pretty much ONLY do my eyes. So, I call this rose gold, and I've been getting loads of comments/compliments on it.
I do a wet base coat with a shade that's somewhere between rose pink and burgundy. I then slightly dry out the brush so it's still ever so slightly damp, and apply a mostly dry second coat of a shimmery but still light gold. I highlight the upper lid with a dry off white to bring out the color, and there you have it.
