With each passing year, I fall more and more in love with bold, beautiful red statements. Whether it be a lip color, a dress or a perfect pair of heels, it’s one shade that instantly turns heads and is always fun to wear.

I’ve found that when wearing red, simplicity is best. That’s why I love this effortless $20 off the shoulder top… it’s classic and ladylike, but still eye-catching, perfect for a football game (for all you ladies with red as a school color) or a night out with friends!

My first thought wouldn’t be to pair red statement earrings with an already-bold blouse, but the combination turned out to be so southern and fun, and one I’ll be repeating throughout the coming months.

I’m truly loving this look lately, and wore another red blouse this weekend! This blouse is $13, and was perfect for a morning cheering on the Arkansas Razorbacks. (When UT isn’t playing, I’m calling the hogs with my mama and her side of the family!)

Love from Texas,

Kate
