Mean Reds

If you were to look through my closet, the color you would see the least would be red.  I've never been much of a red-wearer, so I was surprised when I realized that several of my recent vintage acquisitions are indeed... red.  I've been enjoying the pop of color to my wardrobe that is mostly neutral tones of black, grey and brown.

Necklace Collection

In the not-too-distant past, if you'd asked me about necklaces, I would have responded that I'm not much of a jewelry wearer. But lately, as my outfits have become simpler, I've been reaching more more jewelry, in particular necklaces.  I've been searching them out on my thrifting trips; multi-strands of brass chains, tassels, carved stone, geometric wooden beads.  I've amassed a bit of a collection and these are a few of my favorites.  I've been pairing them with skinny black jeans, a silk blouse and a pair of ankle boots.
