It's the first day of Thrifty Muse's Michelle Obama Challange.
I opted for red on a cold, snowy morning.
Red always adds a bit of fire and energy and makes me feel warmer even when I'm not.
As I have to use what I already have the pearls aren't exactly the same. These ones were a find during a reporting assignment in Hong Kong in September 2002.
I have had the red cashmere cardigan in my closet for a few years now.
I don't know what else Michelle was wearing when this photo was taken but I have paired the pearls and red top with a floral skirt.
I wore:
Boots and pearl ear-rings - Dorothy Perkins
Tights and cardigan - Tesco
Skirt - Matalan
Vest top - Peacocks
Belt : Marks and Spencer (off a dress)
Pearls - Hong Kong

I like the look of a *sweater set* and hope it is making a comeback. Your pearls are lovely and of course red is one of your best colors.

Love the outfit, Jane, absolutely perfect. I don't think many people would pull it off with a red floral skirt in this cold winter but you did it!!! Like the pearls, surely a fantastic find. Also noticed you've got beautiful green eyes...Perfect. Ciao. Antonella
That red is a great shade on you. I like the floral skirt you chose. Mrs. O has an apparent love of floral patterns as well.
Nice!!!
I think you look absolutely fabulous darling, and hats off to your eco challenge, but why Mrs BO?

v. cute!
I think this looks great -- I'm a big fan of that skirt. It's a great wardrobe staple that you've made work for you year-round.
Thanks Darla, Michelle and Imogen, lunarossa, Heather and Cat.
Okathleen - welcome. I guess its just the down to earthness of an extraordinary woman who shares a love of clothes.
Hi Jane! This is just beautiful and fits your frame perfectly. I'll have to come back here to copy you when it is cool enough...we Sydney-siders have been told to brace ourselves for an upcoming heat wave!!

Good Jane! Perfect skirt!
