I don't know Kotn, but might look them up. I love cuts that are just very subtly different from the norm, and that striped boatneck is like that. The second is cute, and looks surprisingly wearable.

I don't have much red, some Dansko Mary Janes that I pull out when it is warmer, a couple graphic tees (black tees with red design) that I've been trying to style. I have a very similar scarf to that you are returning, but it reads less bright, and I love it and wear it a lot; mine is Madewell from a few years back. I guess I have a red bag too, thank you for reminder that this is the time of year to pull that out! I did just purchase a red crew neck tee that I am looking to wear with denim, and with white bottoms. @LisaP mentioned the red carnelian necklace, so I immediately stalked that blogger. I am loving these beaded necklaces that are everywhere and I've purchased (way too many) from both Bauble Bar AND TJ Maxx. I have big bold beads and smaller ones. Grey, brown, green, blue (big beads and a lighter blue in a smaller bead). two turquois (color, not real stones, but perfect for summer). Bauble Bar has a similar necklace to what Lisa referred to which is now in my cart - actually carnelian (!) Turns out I have had my eye out for that color... I blame Lisa P. (so much blame lol) https://www.baublebar.com/prod.....-carnelian

I'll take the blame for a lot of things ;).

Irina, I have that same scarf in black/white and it sure can look overly styled with a sweater or top. I only wear it with a coat/jacket for that reason. What red beaded necklace have you ordered?

I love the light sweater you got! The off shoulder tee also looks interesting! Too bad about the scarf.....

LJP, this one but I don’t have high expectations, most of my Etsy purchases were disappointing.

I love all the red, Irina! Great addition. <3


FWIW, I often find Etsy purchases disappointing too. If it's vintage, it usually works well. But handmade I haven't loved the few things I've tried.
