OOTD 1/5/2012 - Copy Cat and A Color Story

I borrowed (translated...stole) today's look from the adorable Lisa of "Respect the Shoes."  (See her here)  See I told you she was a cutie!



J Crew Trap Glass Necklace
J Crew Black Patent Mary Jane Pumps
This outfit includes two of my favorite things...stripes and vibrant flame.  You guys already know about my affinity for stripes.  I have several things that call out to me....plaid, gingham, animal print and vibrant flame (or many of the other names that J Crew calls this orangy-red color) , just to name a few. 

Speaking of orangy-red, I recently purchased the Factory Skimmer Pant in modern red.  The modern red chino shorts were one of my best Summer 2011 purchases, so I pounced on these.  (and I was able to use the current 25% off promo...final cost $40.87).  However, word of warning, this modern red is not an exact match to its retail predecessor.  It is a bit brighter and a touch more orange but imo just as fabulous.
