WHAT I WORE: Red on Red
Before the days of blogs, I would spend hours pouring over fashion magazines, annoyed that most of their content was just ads. But now that I’m all grown up (Ha!), I’ve realized that the ads are half the fun! Such thought goes into styling each ad campaign in fashion magazines, that it’s pretty easy to look past their motives and just enjoy them from an artistic standpoint. I mean, it’s not like I can usually afford what they’re shilling anyways!
The most recent ad campaign that took my breath away was the partnership with Cole Haan and Tavi Gevinson. I just love how old-Hollywood chic Tavi looks, and the red-on-red look is absolutely stunning. Something I definitely want to try out for holiday parties. But I just couldn’t wait for a fancy opportunity to try out the look, so I tried a casual version of Tavi’s ensemble for Thanksgiving. Plus, this thrifted midi skirt has an elastic waist. Made for Thanksgiving day, methinks!

Wow! A great reinterpretation of Tavi’s look
It’s so nice to see your face back round these parts. you look lovely.
You are so adorable! I can’t wear too much red because my clothing distracts me often throughout the day. But, this looks amazing on you!
You look beautiful! Love the red on red with the matching lipstick. How cool is that red brick wall you found.
I’m seriously loving this red on red outfit! Everything about it is so festive and lovely. It feels like something you could wear to a holiday party. I’ve been keeping my eye on ball gown / A line skirts this holiday season!
You look awesome! I can really see all the hard work you’ve been doing. I really like this outfit too. I think the red on red works really well with the stripes :)
I totally agree about the ads–they’re often so beautiful! I save fashion magazines to use as collage materials. I really really like this outfit, and the glimpse of the petticoat is too saucy and fun! =)
Oh my! You look so pretty. You wear red so well! Plus – PETTICOAT! That’s a wonderful surprise!
I still think ads are terrible, but these photos and your outfit are delightful!!!! Very nice!
You look fantastic, Mandi!
I saw the first picture and went “Oh my gosh, that’s so cute!” I love the red on red (on red). I’m jealous of that brick wall.
Red cubed. Love it!
I love your petticoat! Such a cute outfit!
I love this outfit and you look amazing in red! I hadn’t seen that Tavi/Cole Haan partnership yet, so I’m thrilled you shared that. Love her!
