First of all, I am being featured for the "Sit-down Style Session" round-up today over at The Brandied Pair. Beautiful Hosts Jen and Londyn who are two Amazingly Stylish Fashionistas chose me to be featured today. So read on because it was a cute little interview. Thanks!
For the first Outfit I paired the Red Portofino with my Brown Corduroys and added a White Faux Fur Vest. Of course I showed you a more Work-ready, Tailored, Sophisticated Outfit featuring Brown and Red earlier this week. But this time it is a Bolder pairing of these 2 Colors. The Outfit has a little bit of a Masculine feel with the Brown Belt looped inside the Trousers, the Big Round-face Watch and the Vest, similar to this Outfit (that features the same Cords, my Cobalt Plaid Button-down & a White Vest, also). But I added feminine touches of course such as Red Dangly Earrings, a Chunky Chain Necklace & Leopard Flats. Because you know Leopard+Red are always perfection, don't you think? I think I pulled off this Masculine Look (twice now) because I did receive compliments on each Outfit, especially this one. This Outfit, also is perfect for the Menswear-Inspired theme today over at Spotlight Weekly, to which I am linking up.
Pros: I actually quite like it. It is different and not what you see every day or what you expect a 'typical' fashion blogger to wear.
Cons: Like I said I like the Outfit but it can be missunderstood. Not everyone will get it. But I dress for me, first and foremost. So that's OK.

The second Outfit of the day is so Bright, Colorful and totally Feminine, definitely on the dressier side. Red looks great against Cobalt and I will remember this for future pairings.I kept the same Necklace as earlier because it worked plus the Gold Chain Necklace adds to the Nautical, Americana feel. I ended up wearing the Denim Jacket to keep me warm, but this Outfit looks great even without it. I am so glad I finally added a Cobalt Pencil Skirt to my wardrobe. This Skirt was originally $60 but I got it for 40% off $19.99 and it is Ponte! What do you think of this Outfit? Are you in love with it as much as I am? Yesterday's Color for the Pantone-themed Week was Dazzling Blue. I am linking up a day late but this Skirt totally qualifies because it is totally Dazzling Blue.
Pros: I love it head to toe. It might be my Favorite Outfit from this 30 for 30 Remix Challenge, so far.
Cons: Nothing. You can't go wrong with Red and Blue.
