red

What initially drew me to this jumpsuit was by far the vibrant tomato color. I’ve seen this hue quite frequently this season and while I try not to make a habit of letting trends dictate my wardrobe, I don’t mind playing into them if I find a piece that I genuinely love. This tailored showstopper is so eye-catching that minimal accessories are all that is needed. From the illusion layering to the peek-a-boo cross back, I couldn’t have been happier with this garment. It’s rare that you find a piece with so many elements that still work together uniformly, without overpowering the item. I chose nude as my accessory color, since I didn’t want to style anything that would take away from the seamless flow of the ensemble. My love for jumpsuits is continuing to grow, almost as rapidly as my collection itself. I mean seriously, what other piece of clothing can bring sophistication, chic-ness, comfort, and ease all in one look? You can’t beat it, nor should you try! Until next time! 🙂

By default, this post holds a special place in my heart for the mere fact that it is centered around one of my favorite colors. I am personally obsessed with the intensity and strength that the color red gives off, so I had no hesitation about making sure that every location had some distinct red elements. I just love how the red scenery really brings out the stripes in the dress as well as the fieriness of the jacket. Because this look emphasized such a vibrant color, I tried to keep the rest of my accessories subtle yet interesting by pairing the dress with black gladiator sandals and a leather 5-panel cap. I think when styling an outfit with a “loud” focal point, it is important to keep the accessories minimal and eye-catching without losing the focus of the ensemble. One way to do this is by playing with different textures and fabrics. As with all of my looks, I think it’s important to take risks and push the envelope. So take the challenge! Style a look using a bright color and see how you like it. 🙂
