So exam week has been as crazy as ever. I lost my university card, so I can’t print anything on campus. Yesterday my car’s battery died when I was on the way to my tutoring job, and then later that night the battery died again :-X! Ended up spending some quality time with the AAA team, and I lost a bunch of time for working on my essays. That made me turn a bit crazy, so I stayed up all hours of the night to complete one of my essays. You’d think going in to my 6th (!!!) year of college I’d be a bit more prepared to handle the demands of exam week, but nope.
Even though life has been hectic, I still like to be pulled together when I go tutor, so I reached for some of my Black Friday buys to pull me through the day. I know some people aren’t fond of matchy-matchy outfits, but I can appreciate their ease, and I’m totally okay with being all kinds of red in this outfit.

I’ve already noticed that I’m right back in my summer coral-mode, except this time everything I’m buying is red. Hope you are all ready to see the festive color all season long!
What’s your favorite Winter season color? Are you a matchy-matchy type person or do you like to mix colors?
LOVE that bag. Red is great for really brightening up outfits.
Thanks! It’s definitely my favorite purse so far! I love the closing at the top 🙂
I’m loving the bag too, its lush!! xx
Thanks!!
love that jacket. Avenue gas been doing some great things this season, the whole place is skewing a lot younger
Definitely! Now if only they would continue to make clothing to a size 30! I’ve been disappointed that their sizing has been changed to only through 26.
Love the outfit, love red, love matchy matchy. I’m a big fan of black and an obscenely bright colour 🙂 specially if I can get shoes in a bright colour. I just love colour and I really do not care what is in fashion but I do care what looks stylish.
lol, I hear you Maddie! I want to add in some jewel tone shoes to my closet soon 🙂
I’m dying over that bag!
I like to wear at least one thing that doesn’t match everything else, so not to look too matchy-matchy.
Yea, I feel like I did a better job of that over the summer, but now I’m red and black all the time!
You look beautiful! LOVE the necklace and the bag. I really do envy how put together you always look. I aspire to that. 😉
Aww Thanks Kasey! I think you have an amazing style, so you inspire me all of the time! 🙂
I think this looks great! I love black with red, I think it’s really a classy look!
I am trying to branch out and not be so matchy-matchy… A lot of times I just normally go for stuff the “matches”, but since starting the blog, I’ve been trying to have a more “interesting” look. (I guess that’s what you would call it? heh. Or maybe eyebrow raising?)

lol, yeah blogging definitely pushes me out of my comfort zone. I know I’m tame compared to other bloggers, but if people knew how casual my town was then they’d realize I actually do branch out hahah.
I love matchy matchy but I tend to go for complimentary/secondary/tertiary color matching because I’m a super color (art school) nerd.
My favorite winter color? Hard to choose. I go for more brights in the winter, period because everybody else is wearing black. I do love red but I’ve also been drawn to cobalt, teal, magenta and mustard… like pretty much every other time of year?
Great choice in the jacket – it looks cute on you and I think already said I loved the purse. I want one! 😉
Thanks!! Cobalt and magenta are two colors I need more of. I love how you mix colors, so I’m glad you are an art school nerd 🙂
Your bag is making me jealous. Look at the straps!!!
I like it both ways. Matchy and clashing.
Thanks Sarah!
You look great in red!
Thanks Heather 🙂
I like to mix colors, but matchy-matchy is great for those frazzled days when it’s harder to plan ahead or things just aren’t going your way. I fell back on a neutral/gray outfit today because I was too sleepy to function this morning.
LOVE your red. And that necklace is killa!
Yea, I agree! It makes for easy dressing. Thanks Andi!
