When I Got That Maroon Beauty
So I finally bought the YSL maroon bag after saving for months. Took it outta the box and stared at it like, damn this color’s tricky. It’s like wine mixed with blood? Burgundy? Who knows. All I knew was my usual black-on-black outfits made it look like a weird bruise. Needed serious plan.
The Trial-and-Error Phase
First I tried pairing it with bright red pants. Big mistake. Looked like Christmas threw up on me. Then tested with floral dresses – nope, the bag vanished in busy patterns. Even my trusty gray sweater made the whole combo look muddy and sad. Felt super annoyed tossing clothes around my room.
How I Cracked the Code
Started digging through my closet like a raccoon hunting trash. Pulled every neutral piece I owned. Cream sweaters, beige coats, white tees – all got thrown on the bed. Slapped on simple blue jeans and realized:
- Black base with cream top: Holy crap this worked. Let the bag pop without screaming.
- All-black outfit + gold jewelry: Maroon suddenly looked luxe instead of goth funeral.
- Light wash denim and crisp white shirt: Gave that “rich lady casually rich” vibe.
The Real MVP Combo
Ended up obsessed with pairing it to death with warm neutrals. Like yesterday wore camel-colored wool coat, chocolate brown leggings, and chestnut boots. The maroon bag? Pure chef’s kiss. Felt expensive without trying too hard. Even tested with olive green sweaters – surprisingly fire.
What My Closet Taught Me
Don’t fight the bag, y’all. If it’s deep and moody, keep other colors quiet. Treat it like fancy wine – needs simple glasses to shine. Now it’s my daily driver for grocery runs or pretending I have meetings. Worth every cent and closet crisis.
