This week, I am Getting Outfit Inspiration from a spin off,
Private group of my style challengers and today’s oufit called for
THE COLOR RED
I had this outfit hanging together in my closet as I often have a few,
so knew exactly what I was going to use for the Day of RED…
In my youth, I steered away from red, believing it wasn’t a good color for me…
My husband loves it and over the years I tried it and lo and behold , deeper reds work well for me!
So my Dear Readers, What’s Your Shade of RED?
I added this red leather motto, late summer on clearance.
It’s actually a faux leather or I should say , Vegan Leather, as it sound better, lol
Its a Marc Bouwer via Qvc and sold out now…
Sweatshirt dress (F21), grey boots( Issaac Mizrahi,QVC) , handbag ( just Fab) and scarf (Kroger-my grocery store, lol)
are all pieces I’ve had previous seasons.
I got these red fleece lined leggings in a set of 6 colors last year and never
wore them, so thought why not for today on a day of being home, with maybe a quick walk to the grocery store.
I am not sure I’d wear them on a regular basis, but I don’t hate them, so who knows?
Self Care
I had a meditative morning with no electronics or noise, lit a fire in the fireplace and enjoyed the silence while sipping my morning smoothie. I treasure the quiet in the morning with my late sleeping husband and son….
Tomorrow’s color inspiration is Orange, if anyone wants to join me!
Gratitude
I am grateful for a beautiful sunny day, I kept making excuses to go out to take out trash in every room in the house , etc, just to bask in the sunlight.
I am grateful that my husband was able to change out the turtle tank before he left, it need it!
I am grateful that yesterday after existing on only 3 1/2 hours sleep that I went to bed at 7:00, woke up at 10:30 pm, went back to bed at 12:30 and slept another 7 hours! It was nice to feel well rested!
I am grateful that we got just a dusting of snow and had the romantic pleasure of snow , without the clean up.

I had some red leggings that I wore around the house non stop (until they got hole in them)! I love your red jacket with this—although I’d probably play it safe and wear grey or black leggings to run errands! I’m still not considered a risk taker :)!! jodie

My reaction was that it took away some of the sophistication of the outfit. I think since I am a mood dresser that they might fit a more playful me! Lol
