In the Red

I took a chance when I ordered my first Lularoe and got a dress that is super comfortable but more red than I was expecting, a little outside of my comfort zone. But this dress should not be relegated to only Pentecost and Reformation Sunday. After some googling, here's what I've come up with for regular "around the office" wear.

Neutral navy (I'm kind of in love with this outfit -
I have a feeling it's going to be in heavy rotation) 

Neutral jacket and metallic necklace 

Aaaaaaand looks great with the collar

So this is what I wore to church on Sunday morning, going solo during my pastor colleague's annual vacation. The shirt I adapted a bit, making the sleeves shorter, and the torso longer, without the odd asymmetrical peplum thing.

I love these green shoes. They are super comfy flats that are a nice shade of green, and I get comments nearly every time I wear them. My members even noticed they were the right color for the Sundays after Pentecost!

Here is the original pattern FYI. I like the shape of the collar, but it was very hard to make the other changes I wanted, so I don't know if I'll use it again. My mom gave me other easy shirt patterns I can try!
