I had a meeting to attend yesterday and was feeling zero creativity. Thankfully, I had this lil' outfit recipe saved to my desktop and was able to put together a similar outfit in a flash. I tried the black shirt but it was way too harsh of a contrast, most likely because my necklace hangs down a lot farther than hers. I started going through my closet for shirt alternatives, and ultimately settled on a quirky printed top, which felt like a win and put a smile on my face. :-) Red pants have definitely become a staple for me lately, but I'm dying to know - are you rocking red pants yet?!
