red and black all over

 Ann Taylor blouse, J.Crew Pixie pants, Sam Edelman Petty boots, SAS Handbags tote, vintage watch, Forever 21 necklace

I tend to get stuck when it comes to styling red. I'm not a huge fan of this color on me, so I end up pairing it with all black everything which makes for a dramatic look that typically isn't my style. But between the good hair day, minty nail color and ivory pendant necklace...I can work with this.

I can't wait to get home to a cup of hot tea and one of my current reads...today definitely feels like the longest work day ever! Plus, there should be a package waiting for me on my doorstep. Eep!

  11. I love wearing red - I really like the way it looks with camel and/or grey.

    It was a super long day for me too! Here's to hoping today goes by at a better pace. :)

  13. I think the red looks brilliant on you - and I would also be really tempted to style it with all black just to get that high contrast element. I think this whole outfit looks really lovely on you.
