BrownNecklaceSMGirlTaking part in this challenge has helped me to step out of my comfort zone and all that jazz, but it’s also encouraged me to step into some new comfort zones.  Black and white and red has become one of my new go-to combinations.

I’ve worn it with purple.  I’ve worn it with jeans.  In a box, with a fox, here and there and everywhere!

 

Which begs the question, if it works, is it really a rut?

I say black and white and red is the new black.   At least it’s got some interest.  Some oomph.  Some zigazaghuh.

Hey– it’s my rut, and I love it!

    Hi! this is my first comment here, just wanted to say that it’s a very nice combination. Also wanted to ask about the bra you’re wearing with this outfit, it looks pretty great.

    Thanks, it’s actually Wacoal… I don’t know the style name, but it’s a lightly padded convertible plunge, if that helps! I find that Wacoal runs pretty small in the band and a little large in the cup, so this is a 34DDD (equivalent to a UK E cup), while I usually wear a 32FF or so.

    Thanks! I need to invest in a convertible bra because I have some halter style clothes that I haven’t worn since my boobs got too big to go bra-less.
