I absolutely adore this cream and wine red color combo—it’s effortlessly chic and timeless! The pairing gives me major red velvet cake and merlot vibes, and I’m here for it! 🍷🍰 There’s something about these shades together that feels luxurious yet cozy, perfect for this in-between season where winter is just starting to peek around the corner.

Funny story about this piece—I originally picked it up as a skirt during a weekend shopping spree in Branson. I remember seeing it on the rack and thinking, “This is such a versatile find!” But when I got home, I played around with it and realized I could shimmy it up into a chic, off-the-shoulder top. Honestly, I can’t decide which way I like wearing it more. Skirt? Shirt? Why not both? Is it even fashion if you’re not making it up as you go?

For this look, I styled it as a top and tucked it into a pair of high-waisted cream trousers for a polished, put-together vibe. The texture is soft yet structured, and I love how the wine red adds that perfect pop of color without being too loud. Paired with nude heels and gold jewelry, it’s a look that can effortlessly transition from a lunch date to a casual holiday gathering.

If I were to style it as a skirt, I’d probably pair it with a fitted cream turtleneck or an oversized beige sweater for a cozy, winter-chic aesthetic. Add some tall boots and maybe a wool fedora, and it’s a whole moment!

I’d love to hear your thoughts—skirt or shirt? How would you style this piece? Let me know in the comments, and don’t forget to tag me if you recreate this look.

P.S. Who else loves finding fashion gems that can pull double duty? It’s like getting two pieces for the price of one, and honestly, that’s the kind of win we all need this season!
