I love this shade of brown, and don’t wear it nearly enough! I’ve gotten so used to styling cognac, or that ubiquitous rusty shade, that I’ve built all my knowledge around that. Chocolate brown feels a little bit like the wild, wild west. I saw the most gorgeous (luxury) chocolate brown bag a while back and immediately wanted it, but then realized I had no idea which colors I’d wear it with. Not to mention it was just a teensy bit outside my budget.
