Work Wednesday: Power Reds

We have entered the part of summer where I struggle to dress myself. It’s hot outside. It’s cold inside. This cardigan. These pants. They will not go from inside to outside without consequences. What am I supposed to wear?!

But Abra, this pointelle sweater is still a sweater. Yes, it is a sweater. But hear me out. I own this sweater in the long sleeve version. I bought it in the short sleeve because I can walk outside in this. I can go get lunch without melting. Am I “comfortable,” I wouldn’t go that far. Am I alive and not sweating buckets? Yes, yes I am.

These voile pants are very breezy on. If you don’t love the idea of a sweater, there is a matching voile top in cap sleeve. The all red though, while a lot makes for a really elevated “set” look. It feels intentional and bold. Plus, they’re pull on, and I need that in my life right now.

What shoes? On a summery day, I would wear a cognac sandal. On a cooler morning, I would wear a low profile sneaker. At the office, I would pull out a pointed toe flat in medium brown (no black, no light tan — it’ll draw the eye down) or if I have a red pair of flats, go all in. Want a really dramatic choice that pops? Pale blue.
