Thank you to all of you who chimed in on the previous post! While I was previously leaning towards keeping the skirt and returning the dress, I think you’ve all convinced me otherwise.
Since moving to London, I’ve been living in my jeans. I also find myself constantly reaching for the same few sweaters or shirts. To remedy that, I decided to wear a skirt instead when G and I went to check out the Picture This exhibit at the British Library. However, some old habits are hard to change. Case in point: my monochrome outfit paired with red accent. (It’s one of my tried & true formula – e.g. see here, here, here, and here.) While blue was my favorite color growing up, red has taken over these days. I find red to be the perfect pop of color against my neutrals, not to mention it’s a festive color for most holidays. (Xmas, New Year’s, Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day… you get the drift.) Over the years I’ve amassed quite a number of red accessories to accent my outfits – the perfect red bag, earrings, shoes, and the latest being my wallet. Needless to say, red is my favorite accent color. What is yours?

I love your Marc Jacobs bag! So cute! I agree that a pop of color, especially red, is a great way to add life to any outfit.
Thank you, Katie! Miss Marc is too adorable to resist! 😛
Black and white is no-fail and the red is a fab complement and contrast. It’s been too easy for me to just reach for jeans too when it’s cold out!
Glad to know you share my sentiments on jeans and on the accent color, Lisa! 🙂
very cheery ! love it..
Thank you, Elle! 🙂
