Hot Red Pepper
Guys. Big news. The department I work for has officially declared every Friday, Jeans Day! Every now and then, I have written a Work It Wednesday post where I don a pair of jeans for the office. And every time, I am always as excited as the previous Jeans Day. So imagine how elated I was when this announcement came out. Now, I get to stretch my non-work clothes one extra day each week. But of course, this exception comes with some rules and regs. No ripped jeans, no sneakers, no crazy jean washes, etc, etc. Basically, one must still keep up a professional appearance. Generally speaking, I shy away from wearing red, if ever. I never felt like it was the color for me. Burgundy, oxblood, crimson; yes. But 'red hot pepper'; no. Until now. I love the honeycomb knit of this sweater and the price tag didn't hurt either. For last week's Friday Jeans Day, I layered it with a chambray and paired it with light denim, to tone down the red. But what gets toned done must be turned up with a touch of bling and animal print! And here I go again with my tan booties. They are just so darn comfy!
p.s. For those hit by Juno, hope you all survived! We'll be digging out my husband's car over here for days to come...
