bright colors for a cloudy day

Inspired by Emery (and I believe someone else as well) and the choice to pair red and yellow, I boldly went where I have never gone before. There was a time when any red tops were banished from my wardrobe for the simple reason that it reminded me of working at Target. Add khaki and I get nauseated. My Target experience was not a bad one, by all means; I just did not like red much before that and certainly did not increase that love by having to wear it almost daily. But then, a few years back, I decided that some red was okay, and even downright darling, especially if paired with black and white. Today, I took the next step, and I may never go back. I went for simply solid, but it got compliments....


I started the day with an open sweater and thanks to a coffee spill in the car, ended up buttoning up the rest of the day. I kinda like it. Also changed into jeans later. :)

Sweater, yellow top and jeans- All Target...surprised? You shouldn't be. Almost all of my wardrobe consists of Target clothes.
Black pants from earlier- Old Navy
Adorable tree necklace- unknown, received as a gift. LOVE.
Boring shoes not worth mentioning or photographing were simple black kitten heels.

Thus ends day 3 of the fashion fest! Go check out Emery's blog for more delish outfits (linked above)!!!
