Christmas remix #1

True to my lessons learned from the 30 for 30 challenge, I've been working on making new outfits out of the clothes I already have, and it's been kind of fun, so yes, here I am back talking about clothes again: After coming up with what felt like a season-appropriate but not completely season-obvious outfit using this sweater that I rarely wear, I thought it would be fun to mix up some holiday season outfits.This is pretty much the only red item of clothing I own - I think I avoid red because of my hair color, but I'm not sure if I need to? My mom bought this sweater several years ago and I love the zip-up cable-knit style, but I find myself wearing it about once a year, partly because it's just so red, and partly because in my pre-remixing days I wasn't creative enough to wear it with anything beyond a white long-sleeved tee and a scarf.
I thought adding a longer brown shirt (I like longer lengths these days - maybe one reason I wear the sweater less) plus the leopard-print belt toned it down a little bit, and I felt very fitting for December with a cozy and kind of festive sweater, but still me.

Now to find another way to wear my red sweater...
