I wanted to finish the month with something bright, so I took another stab at red monochrome. :P I tried to keep the outfit from looking one dimensional color wise, by using different shades of red and then I added the high waisted coral shorts as an equalizer to balance the look and define boundaries.

It was a whopping 50 degrees the day these photos were taken. o_O I really didn't even need the coat or scarf during the day. However, I was glad that I brought them when night fell. My partner and I spent pretty much the entire evening in a coffee shop pouring over statistics for costs of living in various countries. I've always said that my goal is to live and work abroad, but I hadn't realized just how expensive such an endeavor would be until now. >_< I really hope that we can make it work. <3

When we got back home, my partner looked at my standing closet and asked me what I would do with my clothes, if and when we moved overseas. I chuckled and told him that it was obvious that I'd have to get rid of most of it. I have so many pieces that hold such great memories for me. It will be hard to let go of many things in my wardrobe, for sure. Still, it would be a small price to pay for an epic adventure! :D

It *actually* warmed up a bit! I can't believe it. I didn't need a coat or gloves. It was glorious. :D Why can't it be this mild all winter? >_< I had to capitalize on this crazy good luck by spending as much time outside as possible. Hehe. I figured that a long walk on the bike path after brunch would do the trick.

I've worn primary colors a couple of times, already. Each time, I try to mix up the outfit a bit to avoid looking like I'm wearing the same thing. Here, I opted for a simple mix with a textured yellow sweater, bright blue skinny jeans and a bright red scarf. Then, I tempered the bright colors with some dark pieces and finished with a small dose of patterns from the white socks. :P I think that primary colors are really hard to wear correctly. So, I definitely give a lot of thought to these kinds of outfits. I think I did OK! :D
I'm starting to get excited about the arrival of Spring. It's so close I can taste it! Hehe. I've decided to finish out the month of February with a bright monochromatic look, so stay tuned! <3 ^_^ <3
