It might be hard to tell from the photos, since the colour proved almost impossible to capture accurately, but this blazer is a lovely shade of brick. I normally would have avoided it, since it’s uncomfortably close to my hair colour (and, as a ginger, I have been indoctrinated with a fear of orange and orange-leaning shades), but I loved the relaxed fit of the blazer and it was only $7. YOLO, and all that. I also thought that, hair considerations aside, the colour would provide an unexpected contrast (or complement) to some of my core wardrobe colours. Case in point, navy.
I also like how the colour of the blazer picks up on the copper shades in the scarf. I tend to wear mostly cool colours, but it’s nice to switch things up from time to time. That also applies to wearing scarves as accessories, which I haven’t done nearly often enough lately. I resisted the urge to add a brooch, which surely deserves a pat on the back because restraint is hard, you guys. On second thought, maybe only half a pat. I did give in and buy a bag charm flouf.
Love it! And, I never thought of paying attention to one’s hair colour being “echoed” in one’s clothing choices… As a natural light brown, generally with hi-lights, and occasionally with a wild streak (literally!), don’t think it’s EVER been a concern of mine–but if anyone is going to know how to approach the ginger situation, it surely would be you!
It’s tough for gingers out here. Anything that makes my hair look too carrot-y is a definite no. I still have middle school trauma to work through 😉
Your hair is on point and this blazer is a great shade of red. Also, those earrings! Gold stars all around.
Thanks Leah!
