Wow its been so long since I have participated in a Blogger's Do It Better challenge. Feels good to get back into it.
I always think it's funny when the fashion industry tries to make things sound cooler then what the really are. Take an old denim button up for example, call it Chambray and viola it automatically makes it fashionable. Call burgundy, oxblood and it takes it to a whole new level.
I however, feel more comfortable calling burgundy, well- burgundy.
Burgundy jeans are at the tip top of my wish list and I was a little bummed I didn't have any for this challenge. All that I had in this color are these tights that I wore here and the dress you see above.
With the burgundy and navy combo I am feeling a lot like this chick today:
I even got the frizzed out wavy hair going on. All that is missing is my wand.

I always thought Hermine was beautiful too!
Never would have thought to pair dark blue with burgundy, but love it! Just a reminder that I need to get out of my color comfort zone :)
Wow, you posted two fab colors and it looks really good on you! Love your curls tooo, so beautiful!
Very pretty. I agree that oxblood is burgundy, but I hesitate to say it and upset the fashion cart. You know? ;-)

Great color combo! The navy and burgundy look great together. I'm also not a fan of the term "oxblood" but I do love the shade! Glad I found your blog through BDIB.
I'm with you. I call it maroon. Oxblood is just too fancy for my tastes. Love this look! Never would have thought to pair navy and maroon. And those shoes are amazing! Loving your blog...off to check out more!
Believe me- you look nothing like Hermoine! I love the blue paired with Oxblood- will have to try that! Thanks for the inspiration!
Nice blazer. . . amps up the color of your dress! :)
