Now this should have been an easy post for me. I own a LOT of red clothes, shoes, accessories, lipsticks etc etc. And herein lies my problem - too many choices.
Firstly I thought I'd go for a corporate take on red - I have an old red pencil skirt that I bought many years ago from Myer (Estelle) but after wearing it to work with a simple black top & jacket, it just wasn't doing it for me. It wasn't "Aussie Curves" worthy.
So, here is take 2 at RED.
I love my red Dorothy Perkins jeans and wear them to work more often than I wear them casually. I generally team it with red heels (Diana Ferrari) and a black and white spotted shirt (Kmart). Teamed with a white jacket (Katies), red lips (Clinique "Raspberry") and a top bun, I think I still manage to pull off a corporate look (which is needed as I was interviewing for new staff in this outfit).

Ooooo, looking gooooood! Love it, great combo.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mel - I was sure you were going to wear your red jeans for this challenge......... I love the combo of red, white & black......
Deleteyour blog looks awesome. I really need to work on sprucing mine up. I love your red patents BTW.
ReplyDeleteThanks Georgia..........the blog design thing is a work in progress but mostly happy about how it looks at the moment. And every woman should own a pair of killer red heels.
DeleteThanks Jeanie. Big fan of Diana Ferrari shoes as they cater for those with wide hoofs like me.
ReplyDeleteI can never go past black polkadots and red. One of my never fail combos ;)
ReplyDeleteSimplicity at its best.
DeleteWow, I have a shirt almost the same as that (mine was from Best and Less) and wore it yesterday. Love it with the red jeans.
ReplyDeleteI only just recently discovered Best & Less's plus size collection - picked up some beauties. Can't beat red jeans with polka dots...
Deleteohhhhh LOVE how you worked it with a white jacket! I'm still trying to get my hands on just the right one so I'm totally jealous x
ReplyDeleteit is quite a search Dani - I bought about 4 (cheapish) ones before I bought this one and I am happy with its fit and style. I decided against the predictable black jacket - Aussie Curves is about pushing yourselves.
DeleteThat polka dot shirt is really nice.. I am going to be keeping my eye out for one of those too! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Omega, I have a love of pattern, so when I saw this one I jumped on it....
DeleteI also love the combo of Red, White and black. I think Red and Polka dot is a match made in heaven! Definately adding this look to my Pinterest board. I just need to look for a good white jacket!
ReplyDeleteThanks - the search for the elusive white jacket is a long journey....
DeleteVery nice indeed! I like it lots!

Thanks Jacqui
DeleteLove your look, love it to bits ... red when matched right is excellent and you know just how. Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheri - as I mentioned, I have a lot of red, so I'd hope I was good at matching it..
DeleteLove the polka dot shirt with the red. And I never thought to wear a necklace as a bracelet. Thanks for the idea. I'm new to your blog. Looking forward to visiting again :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tina...... I hate necklaces that are too tight up against my throat so I thought I'd wear it another way. Thanks for visiting. :)
