Red Knit Top

Red is such an interesting color. It has so much personality. I have to say, that a vibrant cherry red is one of my favorites colors.
I usually don't have much hope when it comes to red tops though (most just drain my skin of any color), but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. The shapes in it were what induced my to try it on. Kinda has a '50 look, especially when worn with my cuffed peddle-pushers. I really like the little tab on the collar, and the cuffed waistband. The fabric is a nice soft jersey material. You can pretty much bet, that if a shirt finds its way into a thrift store and the jersey is still bright, soft and isn't covered with those little pilly things, that it's pretty good quality fabric.

Corduroy Pedal-pushers

Here are my second pair of peddle-pushers. This time I used a pair of tan colored corduroy pants. They have a bit of stretch, which makes them very comfortable.
There was a point though, that I thought I was going to have to toss this pair. While at the store, I had overlooked a small hole in the knee area (I simply hate buying something, and then later regretting the purchase, whatever the reason). Luckily, I was able to just make a slightly larger cuff and cover it up. And I've learned my lesson, I will do a better job checking the items over, before buying them.
