I decided to hit the ground running with the oxblood and peplum trends with this top. Oxblood (eiw, gross word) is fall’s “it” color, which I’m fine and dandy with. It’s flattering for most skin tones, especially we pale girls, and it blends in pretty seamlessly with a “black-heavy” wardrobe.
Black pencil skirt: Banana Republic (old)
Oxblood peplum top: H&M
Gray cardigan: J. Crew (purchased in high school!)
Black heels: Modern Vintage (old)
Black skinny belt: thrifted
The funny thing about this color is that I associate it with t-shirts and sweatshirts. Maroon was the school color of both my high school and college, so my sweats drawer is dominated by crimson. But, I’m happy to upgrade it to “outside the house” wear as well.
Vintage purse clip (worn as necklace): gift
Are you doing the oxblood, aka burgundy, aka maroon, aka scarlet, color trend this fall and winter?

Salt = sodium = bad.
Sweet = calories = bad.
Well, isn't that just a bleak outlook. I firmly believe that without salt and without sweet we all just live in a world of lettuce. Plain lettuce. Fun? No.
This blog is about life. Namely, my life. But, not that specific. I myself am simply not that interesting. I live an ordinary life, work an ordinary job and do ordinary things.
But... life is all about experiencing that feeling you get when you really, really like something. If you don't feel a little warm in your heart when you walk into a farmer's market or try on a piece of beautiful clothing that fits you perfectly (that just so happens to be a great deal!) then you should probably keep on a' movin' from my little plot of internet.
Sweeter salt is my metaphor for the good things in life, sprinkled over everything in moderation. Banana? Kinda boring. Banana smoothie - yum! White tank top? Yawn. Statement necklace layered over said tank - now we're talking!
I live in Portland, Maine. I love cooking, eating out, riding my bike and approachable fashion. This blog does not chronicle my every waking moment. This is because you will probably not be entertained by the 10th day in a row that I eat the exact same salad for lunch. It does chronicle a healthy, active, fun-filled, colorful lifestyle, in Portland and beyond.
It also covers dogs. Cute ones mostly.
