For those of you that just tuned in, From Grandma with Love is a twice-monthly series that is one of my faves! I’m lucky to be the recipient of my Grandmother-in-law’s beautiful wardrobe. She owned so many unique pieces, and I’ve had the MOST FABULOUS time styling it on the blog. It’s a win-win for me because I ADORE vintage and a fun excuse to wear it! This blog series will be every other Friday alternating with Chic at Every Age. BTW, we’re still a little off schedule with CAEA, so it’s a repeat of GMA this week! ;)

These chenille-like wide leg pants are a fun Grandma hand-me-down, and I couldn’t wait to wear them. Rich jewel tone colors are one of my favorite things about Autumn/Winter. Although I’ve been in a neutral mode lately, the combination of marigold and Ruby was one that I couldn’t resist. So, I paired the very bold red pants with a marigold velvet and lace top.
I went a little over-the-top with the velvet wearing the top, pants, bag, AND shoes, but it’s such a beautiful material. Plus, those multi-color drop earrings tied everything together with the black, silver, copper, and gold. Although, it could have gotten a little yellow-and-red-Ronald-McDonald if I wasn’t careful! LOL!
THE STYLE Rx: Jewel tones will add a touch of luxe to your wardrobe this Season. You don’t have to go all out like I did. Just add an accessory (like a bag or shoes) or one piece (like a top or pants) to elevate your outfit.
What is your favorite jewel-tone color? Mine is probably Emerald or Ruby!
Happy Friday Loves! What are y’all up to this weekend? My cousin is heading to town for the Texas vs OU game, and we are meeting up for brunch in Dallas on Sunday! Mr. S has been out of town, so we’ll be happy when he gets back tomorrow. I’m probably going to watch ONE Netflix show tonight and then hit the bed early since Little M woke up in the middle of the night after an accident. Hope you have a great weekend!

Just love the whole outfit! I’m a fan of jewel tones in reds and purples
And you look really gorgeous in those colors!
Definitely not too much velvet, this looks awesome! :) I think the shoes and clutch are perfect accessories with your outfit! :)
We are doing our first trip with little ones (thank goodness I brought my laptop so I can space out and read blogs at nap time!) and I so understand needing to have an early night after a big day or night before – I’m so much more exhausted in the evenings now than I am at home!

Thanks Mica!
And oh no! I forgot to respond to your previous comment! Heading there now! It’s difficult to travel with little ones.
What a fantastic theme! And the outfit is fabulous. Treasures this!

Thanks Nancy! It’s really bright for me, but I thought it was too fun NOT to post! :)
[…] Marigold is one of THE COLORS for Fall! Although I love the color yellow, I usually reserve it for my home and NOT clothing! That being said, I do love these yellow hues for Fall in the luxe fabrics like velvet, lace, and wool. Did you see how I styled this top last week for a From Grandma with Love post? […]
