The Red Jacket

I love the color red, I love read shoes, my hair is red, but for some reason when I wear red I feel like it's screaming, "LOOK AT MEEEE!!!". Well, I've got to get over this as my faithful black jacket (exactly the same as the style above) is getting retired. I bought the black Tripp NYC moto jacket about seven years ago and even though it's still in good shape, I'm not a size small jacket. I have never been a size small jacket in my adult life (wide shoulders), but it fit better back then and now it's just too tight. We had our fun together, now it's time to except I'm losing a wardrobe staple and to move onto wearing jackets that I do have and that do fit comfortably. I am one of those people who wear their favorite things until they are almost to pieces, I try to mend the item or re-purpose it into something, but I will also admit defeat. 

I also lost a favorite button-up "Robert Smith" over-sized shirt in the great spring closet clean out. Sigh. 

But obviously I'm not that broken up about it. Haha! I've just more shocked that the jacket hoarder needs to buy a new black jacket. Let the hunt begin!

Sophistique Noir : Black and Red Theme Week!

What's black and red all over? Sophistique Noir's Black and Red Theme Week which is June 3rd-8th, so I'm a tiny bit late! *Wink* Red happens to be my favorite color, yet when I look in my closet I don't see too much red! While I'm digging around in (what I like to call) the black vortex, I wanted to share some photo highlights of 2011, my year with red hair....and of course wearing black!

Victory Rolls! I love vintage hairstyles!

I have a love affair with Hard Head hair spray by Bedhead

Our old apt. building was an awesome teal color!
