I always seem to veer towards this punchy orange-red hue (formerly called "modern red" by J.Crew) whenever the weather turns warm and this spring has been no exception. I easily own enough pieces now in this color to do Carmen Sandiego proud - in fact I think I'm just one big reddish hat away from this year's Halloween costume ... though does anyone even still remember good ole bad girl Carmen?
Jacket: Zara short with lapel (sim deal, steal in tan)
Top: J.Crew cinched tank (sim, pricey)

Ah, sorry, I have no idea who she is! I like your Modern Red, though - the colour, the shape - perfect! It's funny but I do this too with certain colours - cobalt blue, olive green, kelly green, crimson red, plum... but it's not a bad thing, is it, since it means we can mix and match just about everything we own! ;)
ReplyDeleteAh no, that means I'm getting old, doesn't it? "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?" I guess I was the only one who saw that when I was little, bahahaa.
DeleteLove that color on you. Great for spring.

Thanks, girl!
DeleteGorgeous color! This is my kind of red. Punchy and vibrant, but also very flattering.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you - thanks so much!
DeleteOoh, I love the cropped look of the jacket! Yes, I remember Carmen Sandiego! Red trench coat with a red hat! I actually dressed like her for halloween at the workplace one year, haha! Still hands-down my favorite character to dress for halloween! :D
ReplyDeleteRed trench with red hat - she was a baller before her time, haha.
DeleteI loved Carmen Sandiego! And the jacket and shoes are fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit! Yes I loved Carmen Sandiego! Although I only had a computer game of it where you had to catch criminals and one time I actually caught Carmen, it was amazing!
