Camel & Red

camel coat American Eagle camel coat (old, similar here) /  TJ Maxx pants (identical pair here) /  Macy’s heart earrings  /  Mossimo patent nude heels

When I think of the color combination of red and tan, my mind immediately goes to “Target employee”. Sidenote: don’t ever wear a red shirt while shopping at Target. Someone will mistake you for an employee, resulting in quite an awkward altercation.

However, I really like the look of wearing a tan color on top and red on the bottom. This gorgeous camel coat was a gift from a family friend and I’ve been wearing it ever since. Although it’s a tad bulky on me, it is super warm and cozy. And to top it off- it’s lined on the inside so I don’t have to worry about the material making me itch (don’t you hate that?) Since this camel shade is a neutral, the coat goes with just about everything.

    I like the camel and red together! The camel coat is such a classic piece, and the red skinnies are super fun. I didn’t think “Target employee” at all, I thought “stylish, put together girl!”

    What a great color combo. And thanks for the tip… I’ll try not to wear red to Target!

  • Allison Jordan

    Love the color combo.  I have that coat in navy and it has been my go to coat for years.  It’s super warm and comfortable even though it is a bit bulky.  Love the camel one too!

    Camel and red is not nearly as Target-y when they’re flipped this way!

    Camel is so versatile. I really need a camel coat like that. It is just timeless. I love how you jazzed up the outfit with the bold red pants.  

    (P.S. Thanks for letting me know that the artist of the heart painting I adore was Andy Warhol. I was wondering.  Hope you’re having a great weekend girl!)
