To us, October = all things pumpkin, so what better way to celebrate the season than by incorporating that distinct orange hue into this month’s Color Combo post? A bold shade like pumpkin needs to be balanced with something darker, which is why we chose to pair it with a deep, rich burgundy. The resulting combination is unexpectedly chic and absolutely perfect for autumn!
