Seeing Red

12 of 30
Top: c/o Land's End Canvas via Lucky; Skirt: UO; Shoes: Nine West; Jewelry: H&M

 I decided to add this red skirt as my final 30 for 30 item because it served me so well when I did the 30 for 30 last summer.  After all, if it's not broke, why try to fix it?  I wanted to make sure my last item was something I could easily wear to work or any other occasion and this skirt fit that criteria.  To give credit where credit is due, my outfit was inspired by this lady's outfit.

I have exactly one shot of this outfit which was not an intentional decision but because my camera battery promptly died after I took one photo before leaving for work on Friday morning. I didn't have time to take more photos later that day.   Bummer!  Rest assured that I learned my lesson and will remember to charge my camera from now on.

    Glad you added this skirt, because it is amazing! And lucky you that your one picture is totally usable.

    Oh my, I totally hate when that happens. At least you got one great photo! I have a red skirt, looks like I'm going to have to give this one a try at the end of the 30.

    I wore stripes with red shorts a few weeks ago. I love that combo

    That has totally happened to me! at least your one shot was a good one.
    I've found that if you've got five minutes, stick the battery on the charger and you can get just enough juice to get through your photos.

    love the red skirt, glad it made it in!

    That's why I go for cameras that use batteries and I have some on hand. I wouldn't remember to keep it charged.

    I love those shoes with that skirt!

    Thanks lady! I try to remember to charge my camera and it actually holds a charge a good while, but it was one of those rare occasions that I just forgot!  What a great idea about having batteries on hand.

    Hey lady, I stumbled across this on Refinery 29 and thought I'd share:

    This is pretty much how I do my hair except the model's hair is obviously longer and straighter.  I didn't even know the style had a name until I saw this!

    I usually forget to bring my memory card, but I usually keep spare batteries. You picked a great inspiration she always puts such cool pieces together. I love how you added the color-block heels in the mix!
