Seeing Red

For Chinese New Year, the color red is. SO. IN. Yes, that's right -- the name of the game this part of the year is to wear red for good luck. You'll see red envelopes, red lanterns, red paper scrolls, all because red signifies fire[crackers], which drives away bad spirits.

Yesterday my brother took me and my mom out for lunch and mom ended up lookin STYLIN' in Chinese New Year fashion! She looked like the belle of the ball, so I had to do an impromptu photo shoot (she quickly obliged, obvious with her calculated posing, hahaha). Let's see what we have here....

A red wool sweater layered with a black bolero with white trim. A cropped red quilted jacket with a silk "Lendi" black and white scarf. Red lipstick and a blingin' ring.

Oh just where did you get that fabulous ruched Prada bag? Someone with good taste, probably? Someone who knows your aesthetic? Someone very very filial??? Haha. :p

And wow, check out that that detailing on those black jeans, sparkly floral embroidery. A mix between high and low. Tasteful and low-key. Mom, you sure know how to play it up!

And of course let's not forget these red leather kicks! Seriously, who has red shoes like these? :)
