I adore black. Yes, I live in New York and we're famous for donning the 'color' head-to-toe often, but I've loved it all my life. No, I was never 'a goth'. I've just always loved black.
I also love red. You will soon get a peek at my 10+ collection of red shoes - a Dorothy complex indeed. And I've been wearing my knit red hat a lot this winter.
And, I love red and black together, expecially with a strategically-placed graphic splash of white (or cream). For the longest time in the early 90s I shyd away from the combo – the Chicago Bulls were way too popular for anyone to see the colors and not immediately think of them. But nowadays, its most appropriate!
So when Rebecca posted her 'librarian chic' outfit of red, black and cream, I adored it. The vest is on loan from Market Publique and will be available for purchase soon. We love how she belted it! And we love the tiny grid of squares and the gold buttons. It's the perfect layering piece. See more of her forrest outfit pictures on her blog.
