I've been really drawn to red lately (if you can't tell). I think it's the weather--red looks warm, which is comforting since it's started to feel a bit chilly. Or maybe it's just because it's just starting to be sweater weather, and I happen to own two red sweaters. I love how this saturated, bright red can brighten up a neutral look. I had a gray cardigan on before, and it just felt like something was missing. I now realize that something was color! Apparently my face is embracing red as well--I'm not sure if it's the sweater or what but it looks more flushed than normal.
While we're on the subject of fall (or at least we were), I have a confession to make. I don't want a Pumpkin Spice Latte. I'm sure they've been around for a while, but I've heard so much about them this year that I was starting to worry that there was something wrong with me because I didn't want one. Am I missing some Pumpkin Latte gene? Other than as decoration, I'm not much of a pumpkin lover. I feel like I'm insulting fall in some way by admitting this. Whew, I had to get that off my chest. I feel so much better now.
Final thought: this does not mean that I don't find other high calorie ways to enjoy fall. Toffee Mocha anyone? Or a steamy cup of rich hot chocolate (Maybe with a splash of Baileys. Just maybe.)? Fall, I hope that means we can still be friends.

The red looks superb and the shape of the cardigan is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm sort of with you on the pumpkin, I'm glad I'm not the only one :)
LOL I'm so with you on the pumpkin! I LOVE pumpkin but I can't take the idea of mixing my beloved coffee with ANY fruit or vegetable! (Remember blueberry coffee at DD?! so wrong!)
ReplyDeleteI love the sweater with the black and white polka dot blouse. I think black, white and red always look amazing together!
Yayyy for red hunnie!! I know what you mean about color....You stand there in the mirror just "knowing" something doesnt look quite right....:)
ReplyDeleteThe color is great on you...red really is YOU:)
Love the boots btw too!

I do enjoy the Pumpkin Spice, but Toffee Mocha is also fantastic. I personally can't wait for Peppermint Mochas. And the red looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteI second on the peppermint! and that red sweater is A-dorable! love the whole look! And I am SOO excited to get out all my boots!
ReplyDeleteAHH! I need a tall cup of hot chocolate with a little espresso inside and tons of marshmellows on top!YUMMY!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. Pumpkin does nothing for me.
ReplyDeletethis look us super chic..love it and im craving a pumpkin spice latte but sadly they dont sell them in south america :( ill have to wait until xmas when im home
ReplyDeleteOh Shea, I understand the red thing. I was composing a post in my head this morning about how I'm enjoying red again after a long hiatus blah blah blah. Yes to red. As for the psl, I'm a big fan for 2 cups then I'm done and ready to move on the the gingerbread. Maybe the creme brulee or peppermint mocha is your thing. Happy weekend :) Lili, my daughter, says hi. She likes your blog.
ReplyDeleteLove the red. I like the Pumpkin Spice Latte, but only because I worked at Starbucks so I had to try it. Before I tried it I was convinced it would be the most disgusting thing ever. But honestly I prefer my coffee sans sugar or syrup, maybe a drizzle of honey on occasion.
ReplyDeleteI think Fall will forgive you though.
I love the shape of this sweater, and the whole look is exactly how I want to dress for the season. If only it would get lower than the 80's down here!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this outfit - LOVE it!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL I don't like Pumpkin lattes either. Pumpkin is to be eaten in the form of pie. Period.
