Yup, I caved. For someone who has been wearing all-red looks for quite some time I couldn’t let this ‘monochromatic red’ moment pass me by, especially just in time for the holidays. I didn’t even mean to create a head to toe red look when I started putting together this outfit. Originally it was supposed to be an ’80s hot pink and red story but the wardrobe gods had other ideas.
