In case you thought burgundy suede was only for fall, turns out it’s not. At least, not when you forget to put your burgundy suede pumps in storage and then realize they go perfectly with your gingham top. Then, burgundy suede is perfect for June. See how easy it is to make up your own rules? Like Katharine Hepburn said, “if you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.” She was talking about shoes, I assume.

A lesser known K-Hep inspirational quote: “Bows before bros.”

I got multiple complimentss on how cute and colorful I was when I wore this to the office. It’s almost as if people aren’t used to seeing bright orange and gingham blazers at a law firm (almost).

Consider this your semi-annual reminder that dressing in complimentary colors on the color wheel is a surefire way to look like an interesting, fashion-forward person. I’m sure I could find some old episodes of What Not to Wear that would prove this theory wrong, but guess what, Stacey and Clinton? Your show’s over and I’m in charge now. And I’m telling everyone to wear more colors. GO NUTS.
