The Year of the Rooster

it all starts with this French rooster brooch...

 this nautical black and white striped French bateau style dress...

 this black trench coat, adorned with the French rooster brooch...

and these black peeptoe booties...

this burgundy red crossbody shoulder bag...

these retro cool cranberry red sunglasses...

this burgundy floppy hat...

 maybe this fisherman's hat, in keeping with the nautical theme...

 or this black sequin beret...

or even this red beret...

and I love the idea of these oxblood red and red holo glitter nails...

Very studly!

 the stud detail caught my eye on this burgundy crossbody bag caught my eye...

 looks like goldtone hardware on this cutie...

 like the deep wine red hue and no zipper on the back to catch onto a sweater...

and the interior looks clean... Can't beat a crossbody for practicality!

Chic: black plaid skirt

Scored this chic red, black and white plaid / tartan pencil skirt for a few dollars...

and perhaps this floral slinky top...

this red roses choker necklace...

 the skirt wouldn't be complete without these red roses socks...

and these red t-bar Maryjane shoes...

 but could also be teamed with red suede mules...

and these red suede ankle boots / booties...

this red tote shoulder bag...

these red angular sunglasses...

and even these retro cool cranberry red sunglasses...
