Wow! Thank you all so much for your positive and helpful comments.
Angie - you sure know how to make a girl feel good
Firecracker - I had forgotten you had purchased some Dark Tulip pieces. How lovely to copy you I'm on the hunt for the hi- lo pullover now to complete my "set". And since seeing your comment, dug out my burgundy skinnies and they look fab with this color. Thanks for the inspiration.
Deborah - you humble me with your comments. I think you would look fab in this rich dark red color. I do see how a tonal dark red outfit would work the same way as an all black outfit. I would feel so smug in helping to introduce a color into your wardrobe
Karie - good point about whether I would be comfortable wearing a longer version of the skirt with tights. I will need to give this some thought.
And I definitely see what many of you have mentioned about the darker boots working better when wearing more than one item in the red. Thank you for pointing that out.
Thanks again for your valuable feedback everyone.
