Cozy Reds
I really loved this outfit, even though the colour palette is warmer than my usual. In the past, I’ve tended to stick with blue-toned reds, or poppy red; this brickish shade is a recent discovery. It pairs really well with other warm colours. The outfit is a bit “thrown together” but it’s the colours that pull it all together and make it seem like I made an effort. I love that for this time of year – minimal effort is my only speed right now.
A Little Bit of Nostalgia
The kids call this Twinset fur collar my “lady beard”. It is a name that has stuck (my husband has adopted it) and will likely never go away. Oh well. I still like it. And it seemed like a good match for this Pulp Fiction sweatshirt I thrifted a while back. Now, if I could only find a Moulin Rouge sweatshirt, to go along with this one and the Romeo+Juliet one, my 90s movie nostalgia collection will be complete.
Cat’s Meow
I love doing low-key festive looks, but this is probably more on-the-nose than most. Is there anything more Christmassy than red and green? It’s a combination I usually avoid for that reason, but this pairing is solid. I think it’s because the greens in the skirt are darker shades. Plus, cats! The fact that it appears as though one of the kitties is playing with my sparkly necklace (one of my Xmas presents last year) is just *chef’s kiss*.
Clowning Around
I hate clowns. Hate them. But apparently, I enjoy dressing like one. I was going to suggest that this discovery may lead me to reevaluate my feelings about clowns but … nah. Clowns are creepy forever. But this dress is super fun, even if I can’t quite zip it all the way up. I will have to figure out clever ways to wear this without the back showing. Never fear, I have some ideas.
