Seeing Red

November 19, 2011 4 Comments

I can’t stop wearing my red pants.

 

Pants – Len Druskin, Jacket – Nordstrom, Shoes – JCrew

Perhaps it’s because, sub-consciously, I realize that this is probably the one and only season I’ll be sporting them, and the bargain shopper in me wants to get my use out of them.

Maybe it’s because I’m discovering how versatile they are, and that there are tons of ways I can wear them.

I’m not normally a wearer of red, so perhaps I like that they’re different than anything else in my closet.

Whatever the case, you’ll likely be seeing a lot of them this season if you’re a regular reader of this blog.

By the way, notice anything missing on this hand? My wedding ring disappeared from my finger about a week and a half ago. I finally gave up looking for it and started the insurance paperwork to make my claim, which I’m finding to be quite the chore – they don’t make it easy to get that money.

What’s in your closet that gets worn the most?

  • I love the way light plays such a huge role in photography. It can make or break a photo – too little and you wind up with a grainy pic, too much and you’re overexposed. My favorite is when the sun is at the perfect spot in the sky and it creates a natural bokeh… [Continue Reading]

  • I purchased these pleather shorts from H&M last fall and wore them a couple of times. But lately, they’ve become my favorite thing to put on. Though the first time I donned them, my oh-so-funny hubby gathered the kids around him and said in an oh-so-serious voice, “Kids, I have sad news. Your mommy has… [Continue Reading]

  • As I type, the sun is finally peeking out through the clouds, and it looks like it’s going to be a pretty darn nice day here in Minnesota. Dare I say – it may even feel like summer? Warmer temps mean showing off those toes, and that means I better touch up the polish before… [Continue Reading]

  • I’ve done my fair share of complaining about the rain. But yesterday, I did nothing of the sort. We didn’t see any sunshine – in fact, it absolutely dumped buckets of rain here in Minnesota.

    I lost my stone once. Funny – they were super easy to work with for me! However, I didn’t get the “check” – I just did an even exchange. I used Diamonds Direct (the mvc jewler… think I have the name right). They were awesome to work with and I was thankful that they worked with my insurance company already
