CONTEXT

I've been wearing red from head-to-toe since I was a toddler! Orange-y red is one of my best colours.

Tomato red in my preferred red. I dabble in Fire Engine and Burgundy too. I love to mix up the solids! Looks harmonious, strong, graphic, and pretty to my eye.

I wear Red-Out throughout the year. Not just at Christmas.

I have EVERYTHING in red

Red pants are signature to my style, and I have several pairs. I'm showing you one pair.

TONAL MIX

I have red boots and belt, and burgundy bag and belt - but do not prefer those additions in these outfits. I prefer the addition of the cream, light blue, and taupe. It also allows the eye to rest amidst the reds, somehow. Adds the punchy and modern crispness I seek in my outfits. I am energized!

SPECS and DOGGIES

As a specs wearer, I can add red specs to my tonal looks. Sam and Jo are wearing red collars to match me today. Sam is snoozing, so that's Jo in the pics

OUTFIT MIX

The Base of Three looks:

• The same red pants, burgundy t-neck, cream boots, and cream belt.

• Red coat, red jacket, burgundy jacket
• Red specs, light blue specs
• Cream bag, light blue bag, red bag, taupe bag.

I'm wearing #7 today. Only just above freezing in Seattle. Need a warm coat.

Many of the items here are old, and very old. A few items are new this year.

Thanks for looking! xo
