Red and Black with a side of Crystals.

Sometimes the simplest outfits can totally look the chicest! This outfit is an example of that. Honestly! A simple office look that is still elegant, put-together and has a few touches that make it stand out. For example the polka dots on these Heather Gray Cropped Pants (by Loft) are made of velvet so I love the texture. I also love the texture of the merino wool of this V-Neck Red Sweater with the matching Red Lace-Trimmed Seamless Camisole underneath it - I have had this sweater and the matching cami for years. They are from The Limited. The merino wool is very soft. To oomph it up I am wearing Black Statement Earrings with lime stones and silver rhinestones (by Sugarfix via BaubleBar), a Sparkly Gold Skinny Bow Bracelet that doubles as an elastic tie for my hair ( I always have to have a hair tie on my wrist for later lol). 

RED  AND  BLACK  WITH  A  SIDE  OF  CRYSTALS.

And last but most definitely my most favorite piece of this entire outfit - the shoes. They are Nude Faux Suede Almond-Toe Ballet Flats with different-shaped crystals embellished on the front - you can buy them here. They come in black too and I kind of want the black version as well lol. After work that day I met an Albanian friend for a quick lunch+coffee at Panera Bread who commented that I looked very patriotic. That is because Red and Black are the colors of my home country - Albania. I do wear this duo of colors often though as I love them together. Have you worn any red and black lately?! How do you style cropped pants for work, in the Spring?!
