Red Army

While I've been sticking with black and white for the majority of the past couple years, red has been really popping up more and more in my style choices. Red is bold, bright, inviting, and fun. I ain't shy, and neither is this color. Red is also 🔥💥.

I got this red linen J Crew blazer several years ago, in my "maybe I'm in a Kate Middleton" phase. I bought it to wear over skinny jeans and a button down. A tasteful pop of color over a clean, preppy silhouette. Fuck that. We all love the Duchess, but her look isn't the right fit for me😜❤️. I'll get back to you if I'm ever invited to play croquette in the palace with the Queen and her corgis, but that has not happened yet. Btw, I think Pippa is really annoying...

It recently occurred to me to pair red with faded camouflage. The shrunken, preppy fit of the jacket was a good contrast to my fave camo muscle tee. Tough and feminine. Boldness in different ways. This classic denim skirt is a sweet midi length, but any denim bottom would work. Cut offs, pants, a mini skirt. I definitely prefer this medium wash, though. The feminine skirt is unexpected with the tough feeling tee. I just loved it together. Espadrilles aren't normally my thing, but these are so interesting. The hardware and two different lace up ribbons are badass ballerina, nailing home the mixed message.

I just learned in yoga that our left side is our feminine, lunar side, while the right is solar and masculine. Love this🙏🏻❤️. We need both the sun and moon to complete a full cycle of a day. We need to sometimes be soft, and other times tougher. It's all needed. It all looks good, but it looks even better when we can mix them together. It's simply more interesting that way. Everything in life is a balance.  PS: I also never graduated college (I have one semester left). This outfit makes me feel like the coolest girl on the campus, though at this point I'd clearly be on the faculty. I'll settle for being the hottest professor in the teachers' lounge 😉🔥💃🏼
