oh, hm, let’s see. right on the heels of that post about red, i’ve already rediscovered a little something in my closet that just happens to fit in! definitely inspired by the spring 2009 luella collection. it was love at first sight, and i knew that i would need like a million of these for my own personal collection. good thing for me, you can find them for very good prices on ebay, and i usually see them here and in the local antique shops. the only sad part is that i often forget to add a hat, so most of mine are just collecting dust in my closet. you should have seen the little cloud of particles that went flying across my room when i picked this up today!
and can you tell? i was so cold today that i actually wore pants. in one of my recent posts, rebecca of the clothes horse asked me, “how cold could it possibly be over there?” and well, i have an answer. this is the forecast for today:
i should really never complain, right? but seriously, i don’t have a point of reference. i only visit the snow on day trips to mountainous areas. how cold does it get where you all live?
ok, enough with the small talk about weather. i’m like a little old lady over here! instead i will tell you a little something about red that i should have included in my last post. when i was a little kid, i used to tell my mom that red was my favorite color because it is the color of ketchup!

I love it! You look super fab! The weather here, was just the same as yours :o)
beautiful lady, just beautiful! i'm heading towards the cold and will be quite jealous of your warm-ish weather soon! ;)
I have the same shirt!! :) I was going to post it yesterday but felt lazy to take picture. Mine is really big so I wear it as a dress. When I purchase it I was 50 pounds heavier… oups!

I actually really like this look! I wear pants more often then skirts or dresses because I have a fuller butt and I think it looks kind of funny in skirts that flounce around and dresses that I love.

I love the bow thingie; so cute! Your heels are so killer.
HI YOU'RE ADORABLE.
Hi Darling I gave you a blog award!
Definitely love that big red bow!!
i LOVE the red hat! last year i found a dusty pink one like yours from the flea market, but it wasnt it very good condition … now you're making me think i should have bought it anyway!
Love the outfit! And your temperatures are LOVELY temperatures here in Michigan! Right about now, we're used to low 40's! It's freezing!
Oh my gosh Erin, I LOVE this pop of red. You look adorable and chic-ly mature all at once. Gorgeous!
Those shoes are the best.
your sailor tunic is my favorite part ;) xo
If you are complaining about it being 60, I may have to come down there and bring some 0 degree weather with me to show you real cold!
I won't chastise you too much, I realize that Halifornians have very little tolerance for cold. (Haha, actually, I am a native Californian– my tolerance for cold must have been adopted by years of Alaskan winters).
u look just adorable! I love this outfit from head to toe ;)
Fun mix; I love the hat/fascinator! The red netting is really too cool.
Ha-ha, I should post a weather forecast…but I'd rather not depress myself. :)
The red bow is gorgeous! I love how you made it the main focus of your look. Plus I really love those shoes!
This hair accesory is incredible !
people do not wear headpieces enough, it really looks great with such a casual outfit, tres chic.
Such a great look, especially the hat and shoes!
Too. Damn. Cute.
Love the outfit and especially the hat. Velvet bows are soooooo fantastic!
jealous of your hat!
LOVE YOUR BIG RED BOW!
I am in love with you bow!

The hat is amazing! I was looking at all kinds of vintage hats over the weekend. Nothing came close to the brightness of yours though.
Love love love love the shoes!!!!! OMG they are just perfect!

Red was my favorite color as a kid because it was the color of Raphael, my favorite ninja turtle.
I'm completely smitten with that big, red bow on you head! LOVE!
u looks so cutie dear :))
that red bow, those black heels. SO PERFECT! i love it!
I love the hat!!!! You are looking good. I'm so not a cold person. I live in the Midwest, we already had a few snow flakes. It's get below zero in the middle of winter. I'm so not ready.
the pop of red is just ridiculously cute… love it!
by the way… I am a new follower of your blog, and a fellow Oaklander at that! I love your style, and that you're my neighbor :)
oh i love it. red + bow = love!
That bow hat is GORGEOUS! and it works so nicely with the blues – as always Erin – nicely done :)
you look so cute…that hat was quite a find!
Bloody freezing, isn't that?
Okay, sarcasm doesn't work via the internet. Up here in Canada, it's currently about 48 degrees F… but trust me, it gets much colder.
On another note, you've got a lovely outfit, once again!
love that hat!
Ahhh I'm definitely not looking forward to the cold on Sunday :( Davis is already cold enough for me! I'm spoiled with decent weather though!

That bow is the cutest thing ever! I love that it has a little veil. I want it :)
The bow hat is so adorable and sophisticated at the same time. It looks great on you. I love the little veil in front!
I love it! Very creative!That's actually really cool..
