Outfit of the Week – Luxury Meets Luxuriously Cheap
If there could be only one reason why fall is so fabulous, it would have to be the return of the black and red combo. Such a rich and pulled-together look, red and black somehow manages to make the frumpiest of frumps look outrageously hot. But the greatest plus? Even when you forget to take your anti-bitch pill, slipping into a red/black ensemble can turn your entire daily outlook around.
This week’s Outfit of the Week features this ultimate powerhouse color duo. We’ve paired some luxurious (read: very pricey) pieces that you’ll wear again and again with some el-cheapo but el-coolo accessories, just so you’ll have a little cash left over for a veggie wrap. Put this on and just try to be in a crappy mood:
Start with this:
And add these:
See? Easy recipe for black and red success. Here are the key players:
Dress from Barney’s, $385
Shoes from eLuxury, $595
Bag from Barney’s, $745
Ring from Target, $44.99
Sunnies from Target, $17.99
Tips:
- Bare legs are key here. Don’t distract from the look with opaque tights or any hosiery.
- These shoes make the ultimate statement. If you can’t afford this exact pair, look for something with a coordinating print and a contrast-colored heel.
- This handbag is totally splurge-worthy – the look is far more rich than something you’d find at a discount store. Whatever bag you end up with, hold it by the handles, rather than using the shoulder strap.
- Since the ring is large and “Look at Me!”, try wearing it on your middle or index finger.
- The sunnies are perfect for fall and can be worn with a ton of things. If you feel a further need to splurge, you could do so here with a designer pair in the same shape (just be sure they have the smoky gray lenses).
