50 shades of burgundy

Okay I've given in; I can call it berry, wine or oxblood but it's burgundy! I wanted to try and avoid it this season because its a cliché but they make so many nice burgundy things this time of year! Like these gorgeous heeled boots from river island (£40) which you can't actually see very well in the photos but they're an amazing mix of leather and suede with a tiny gold edge detail. The heel height is really nice aswell so they're perfect for day time. I went with an all black-and-burgundy ensemble so I added black tights and my black 'j'adore' jumper from missguided, and I layered it over this burgundy velvet skater dress (also missguided). You can only see the skirt part but the top half is sleeveless and has cut-out sections; it's one of last years pieces but I still really love it and I think velvet is perfect for this time of year. I finished with a burgundy scarf from primark - I prefer cotton-type scarves rather than huge woolly ones so this one is ideal.
