what i wore: pop of red

11.10.10 | Tara | 14 Comments

 I have traditionally never been a fan of wearing red anywhere but on my lips and my nails, but for some reason I am kind of feeling for the color right now and am branching out with how I wear it. I am currently on a massive hunt for the perfect pair of red heels, a major trend of the moment (see here– darling blog post on them), and am having a love affair with my new red & navy striped sweater.

I stumbled upon this cropped, boxy sweater at H&M and was instantly attracted. It has that a perfect pop of red that feels really fresh and the color scheme and vareigated stripe layout is a nice update to the classic Nautical stripes I wore all  Spring and Summer (seen here and here). I wore it layered over a sleeveless silk top  that is long in the back and much shorter in the front. I think it adds something to the look and plays off the cropped-ness of the sweater. Perfect Fall day in SF outfit.

what are your feelings on wearing red?

    I actually love wearing red. I am a little worried though because I am a brunette but I am thinking about going red this winter so I am not sure if I will be able to wear my red clothes.

    I’ve never heard of someone having an aversion to wear red – why do you? I love it!

      That’s a good question! I don’t know maybe I never thought it looked good on me. Haha but I’m obviously converted! Xoxo, tara

    You look adorable! I’m actually a fan of wearing colour so red doesn’t bother me in the least.

    I feel you sister, I’ve never been a fan of red on me either. Maybe it’s a fair skin thing?

      I have always thought it may be my fair pink skin, but good to know I ain’t alone leash!

    Red is my favorite accent color. I love your top and I really want one for myself… This is the second time today I’ve wished for a Zara in Oklahoma! Something tells me that’s never going to happen. :(

We’ll see where I take this but in the mean time it’s fun to switch it up and say I do both 😉. It will be hard for me to never be a snowboarder girl 🏂 again and I’m so proud of my skills there, but it’s also nice to stand up properly and not have my bum freeze from constantly sitting on the snow, and get off the chair with ease 🤣. Also cheers to new ski friends (some of my favorite kinds of friends) and isn’t this furry ski hood so cute? All the hot ski girls are doing it @courtwildson 💕! #skihood @pictureorganicclothing
