Just a quick outfit post as I head to the office on a chilly Tuesday morning!  My goal is to create a few more looks with this red skirt I bought from LOFT last Fall, and pair it with colours aside from black.  Recently, I read in Harper's Bazaar that red is considered a neutral...what are your thoughts?  Let's see what I can come up with throughout this season!

  6. Mmmm... red as a neutral tone?? I really don't agree with that! However it's true that red combined with neutral tones is a chic, stylish and classy combo!
    You look lovely Bessie and your new haircut is beautiful!!

  7. Love the red skirt with the leopard belt! I think red is a neutral, and I'm hoping to get a lot of wear out of my red slacks in the coming months. Love that bag - it was the right choice to get it :)

  8. Ha, I always tell people that red is basically a neutral. No one ever listens to me! Have I told you lately how much I love your hair? Because I really do.

  9. OMG I think I bought that denim shirt last Labor Day Bessie...haha! After months of hunting for the right ONE, I love the fit & the length!

  10. I love how the red looks against the leopard! I don't wear much red...I have difficulty styling it, plus I hate how I have to wash it separately :)

  19. Wow, has it gotten cold in Chicago already? I'm longing for the day I can pull out the coats. We're still in the middle 90 degree weather. I love the red, denim and leopard, this combo always looks good together.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I love this coat Bessie, it really suits you and gives you the perfect working woman look, I'm sorry to hear it's getting colder in the Windy City, the temperatures are depressingly nosediving here too.

  21. I love this skirt and blouse ..
    I like your look

  22. I can see red being a "neutral" in the sense that there are tons of colors that will go with red from things that are bright and punchy like turquoise or yellow to keeping it real neutral with brown or black.

  37. Red a neutral? Really?! I don't know if I agree with that. I'm still adjusting to leopard print being a neutral! The skirt looks great styled with the denim shirt here xo

  38. Im not sure if red could be neutral, but you look great in it

  43. Great to see a pop of colour. I am heading towards burgundy this fall, but like you I tend to stick to accessories in neutral or black. Message to brain I need to be more inventive!

  49. Love this outfit and super jealous that you can wear a denim shirt to work. I don't know how I feel about red being a neutral. I'm torn.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Such a cute outfit. I can see why they say red is a neutral because you can pair it with a lot of other colors.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I can totally see how red can be a neutral. Well, I can convince myself that anything is a neutral so I'm probably not the best source for that question :-p.

    Love the red skirt with the trench! It's so Sex and the City :-)

    ReplyDelete
  52. Great look and I love the skirt paired with the denim shirt! And that bag....ohmy, that bag!! I never thought of red as a neutral before...maybe oxblood??? I will have to think about that one lol!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Love this outfit...I have always wanted a classic trench coat but have not found a need for it.

    Yes I think red is very neutral and goes well with most color. With the exception of green...I don't want to look a walking Christmas tree :)

  56. Hmmm I'm not sure about a neutral, but red's an awesome color! I don't think I've told you yet how much I like this bag-- the shape is great and I love the hardware!

    ReplyDelete
  57. Love the combination of trench and denim, super chic! and looks even better when adding a pop of color like red! I'm sure you are the most stylish one at your work place ;)

  61. Love your new haircut! I could definitely see red as being considered a neutral. People have been doing pops of red in outfits for a while, so it seems only natural to officially consider it as one of the neutral bunch. In reality, it seems like all the primary colors should be considered neutrals.

    ReplyDelete
  62. You are very elegant and classy as always. Love your trench and your red skirt is absolutely perfect.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Love the look. Red, a neutral? At this stage I don't have any red item in my wardrobe because I get tired of it quite easily. But every few years I buy red trousers. Perhaps it's time to get some now...

    ReplyDelete
  64. I don't think red is a neutral.. definitely no :P but I like red and I also like your outfit which has actually inspired me to take out some trenches and wear them for a change. those sunnies and the bag are so classy btw. wonderful!
