Red is the color of Fall.
Okay - hot take: red is the color of Fall.
I know, red is typically associated with Christmas or Valentine’s Day, but this year I’ve thoroughly enjoyed sporting my red well before the Christmas season.
Staple #1: A red purse.
I got mine on sale for less than $10 from Old Navy…what a STEAL. Unfortunately it looks as though they are sold out now, but Amazon has so many similar, low-priced ones too.
Staple #2: Red pajamas.
Last year, my friends and I all bought matching red pajamas from Amazon. These are incredibly comfy and affordable. I originally wanted the Victoria’s Secret brand pajamas, but I wasn’t exactly in the mood to spend $90+ on pajamas. So, I tried these out and they were a hit - as you can see, all my friends ordered a pair too!
I also recently bought a new pair of red pajamas from TikTok shop. It was my first time making a purchase through the app and let me just say, it couldn’t have been simpler! I ordered this cute red cherry set and they costed only $7! I was blown away.
It’s giving Matilda Djerf.
Staple #3: Red plates for a red brunch.
These are from…Home Goods! Home Goods/TJ Maxx continue to impress me. I got all four for just $40, too. I decided to debut them at my red-themed brunch with my girlfriends a few weeks ago.
So festive and fun!
Staple number #4: Red leather jacket.
A red jacket is a show stopper. I felt like the queen of everything in this!
Truth: this is not mine, but I need it.
Staple #5: Red nails.
Just yes.
Staple #6: Red flowers (preferably carnations or peonies).
I can and I will certainly buy myself flowers…every week…from Trader Joe’s.
Staple #7: (Kinda) red Poppi.
For so long, I got used to having a glass of prosecco every night after work, however since I started working out more this month, I decided to cut back a bit on my ~alcohol intake. BUT, I was still craving some bubbles. I began “romanticising” my evening Poppi (the Cranberry Fizz flavor is BOMB!) by putting it in a sleek wine glass, adding some cranberries, and topping it off with a sprig of rosemary. Not only is the drink non-alcoholic, but it has amazing good-for-your-gut ingredients. Chef’s kiss!
