Red and Yellow





I love this combination of bright, primary red and yellow. It just screams "fall" to me. I tried it for the first time at the beginning of October, but I wasn't entirely happy with how it turned out, b/c of the shape of the blouse, and the olive shorts added another color which changed the effect. When I put on my coat and scarf though, I really liked it with the brighter red and yellow, with only black.

Here's what I wore back in October:




I tried the same color scheme again and I'm much happier with today's version. I love the shades of red and yellow here, with the black dress and boots.




This dress is new. I purchased it from Filene's Basement last week for $10. The sheer buttoned dress is separate from the black slip, and I thought it was worth getting the dress for the slip alone, since I've been searching for a black slip for a while. That I actually like the dress too is a bonus.

Where:
work, rehearsal

What:
Sweater: Moda Int'l for Victoria's Secret
Sheer Dress & Slip: from Filene's Basement (new!)
Yellow Tights: H&M, made warmer and brighter with an underlayer of white Capezio dance tights
Boots: Moda Italia (thrifted, $4)
Earrings: mine from the 1990's
