What I Wore: The Power of Red

In recent months, and after some very sweet compliments, I vowed to start adding red back into my wardrobe.  I know I used to have a decent amount of red clothing but, for whatever reason, that number greatly diminished.  Maybe I just didn't feel confident enough to wear red for a little while?  I have been working on getting my mojo back, and this top definitely helps with that!  Wearing red makes me feel powerful!

I was thrilled when Kiyonna sent me the Haven Faux Wrap Top.  It is an absolutely beautiful shade of red in a soft, stretchy fabric that is so comfortable to wear.  As with all my Kiyonna pieces, I love it!  The sleeves are comfortable.  The neckline is a bit adjustable to offer more or less coverage.  The ruched waistband sits at a great place, while the A-line cut of the "skirt", as they call it, gives ample room for the hips.

I paired this top with some slightly distressed skinny jeans and boots for a more casual, laid-back look.  This outfit adorned me at our annual Friendsgiving dinner.   Every year, my friend (and fam) Nigel, hosts this awesome dinner of a wonderful assortment of friends in his tiny apartment.  This year we fit 32 people in there!  Every one brings a tasty dish to share, as we drink wine and enjoy the company of great people.

I highly recommend starting your own Friendsgiving tradition!

And because I have such a fun time trying items different ways, I also dressed up the top with some fancier pieces you could wear to a holiday party.  Here the Haven is paired with a matte sequin pencil skirt, black pumps, and a statement necklace.  I really love how this turned out as well and hope I have a party to go to soon!
