Red At Night, Sailors Delight

I feel as if I am on a wee bit of a "red streak" and Modcloth ably fed my desire for the color with these awesome, ribbed tights. Despite cold, grey weather the thickness of the tights is keeping me warm and seemed a fitting pairing to my new nautical dress. The dress is very lightweight and clearly meant for a warmer season, but when I receive new things I have no patience to wait!
My favorite new item in my most recent Modcloth package? This little racing time necklace that has once and for all replaced my need of a watch. I am attempting to collect horse related things; namely in jewelry since moving a lot makes knick-knack collecting inconvenient. However, it is slow going since horse figures aren't that common (unlike bunnies or birds) and even so it is hard for me to find one I really like. This one is in gold and tells the time? Perfection...

Hi :) Your outfits are stunning, I personally love all your dresses. Where did you find them? Why Washington isn't suffering of snow at all?:) Here, in Poland we are addicted to winter jackets and it makes me upset;) Ciao :)

jaunty magpie said...

Ah, this dress! How can I express how much I love it? You truly make outfits your own, and speak through the clothing, versus letting the clothing speak for you.

Nadine said...

I totally adore the cute sailor dress.

hannah elizabeth said...

i'm really in to horse related things too at the moment but mainly in the form of clothes - but that necklace is so rad!

Caitlin said...

Too cute! I'm especially in love with your jacket. And your tights. But then again, I always love your tights :)

PinkBow said...

I like these strong colors matched with the muted tones of the jacket and the bag, lovely! Merry Xmas! see you in 2010!

DearBeatrice... said...

Very cute outfit! Especially the dress! I have been debating for some time now whether I should get it or not, haha ^.^ But since you mentioned it is really light weight maybe I should hold off until warmer weather...

Eli said...

Gorgeous dress, I've been admiring it on the Modcloth site too. I love how unusually retro it is, what is the quality like? Definitely considering placing an order once I get to the States, along with many other things.

Winnie said...

Love the dress, I really like vintage vibe I get from it! Ribbed tights are definitely awesome for keeping warm. I love how you stand out from the background in your blue and red!

Lucy in the Sky said...

that necklace fits you well. :D Love all the colors in your outfit! your jacket and bag are a nice touch. sort of eases all that visual intensity. :) It's so hard for me to even find color in my closet...I'm sort of putting a ban on black and gray now, heh.

Sara Lynn said...

I really like this outfit, gives me some ideas for colored tights. I usually stick to black-kinda boring-but I am very intrigued by the bright ones. It's great that they are warm too,I need to invest in good ones because MI winters are really cold. =]

It is amazing how the red tights brings out the whole look! Think i'd be stared to death if I wear any colour tights even near to that bold colour, but you always looks so good in them!

Such a perfect nautical outfit. The blue dress is too nice to save until a warmer season. And that's a pretty awesome horse necklace! I've been wanting a watch necklace myself.

fashionforwriters said...

You hair and make up has been looking FINE lately. I was coveting that dress for ages and kept wondering how it would look on me. It looks brilliant on you & your racing horses clock necklace is really cool! I'm so glad you bought it. I have a silver penguin clock necklace & I think I'll pull it out for a photoshoot soon.

I have a strong fancy for nautical inspired pieces. Your dress is gorgeous.
I love the necklace. It's perfect for you especially considering horses are your trademark. Or at least I think them to be :)

I think blue and red is one of my favourite colour combinations. I love the nautical feel, and that horse necklace is darling.

We've got 5 inches of snow here - I'm wearing a sequined shoulder dress and have fallen over twice! :D
