One thing I knew I wanted in my closet before another 30 for 30 was a red striped shirt. The color red makes me feel super-pretty and powerful, and I was surprised to find I don't own almost any red garments. I decided to spring for a Saint James red and white shirt but when it arrived, it was uncomfortably thick, stiff cotton with a boxy fit and these weirdly baggy arms. It got sent back lickety split and then I was lucky enough to find this super-soft light version for about $20 at urban outfitters (the same one, I think, that Emily has). With red lips, I feel secretly a little glamorous and french even though I'm just wearing jeans and a tee.

Bonne fin de semaine :)
this is so lovely!! you look extra gorgeous, probably because your red-stripe confidence is shining through!
ha! can you tell i speak no french? shame on me :)
I love those happy red stripes and the cozy scarf! :)
You look great!! I've decided this is the year I start wearing red lipstick, so I think I need to try this shade.
I love this look!
That cowl looks so comfortable, like you could just tilt your head to the hide and take a nice nap haha. the lipstick looks beautiful on you as well!
*tilt to the side ha
Love the red lips! It's an instant way to feel better. Also yay for outside pictures :)
you look fabulous! so pretty! i looveee this look!
LOVE the cowl! So cozy!
I think you do look a little French! Very classy. I love t-shirts that can be fancied up a little.
I love your striped top. I ordered the same version you did from Saint James and it had to go for all the same reasons. Very cute with the scarf!
You look about a million miles tall today. I adore this outfit.
You always look so fresh and natural. Very cute outfit my lady! I love it!
Beautiful! Simple, chic and fabulous! Love the cardy and cowl that that you paired with this delightful tee. xx veronika
I love this! another great outfit! :)
Great outfit! I have this cowl in grey, and I wore it on day 2 of my remix! http://thecuratorscloset.blogspot.com/2011/02/allie-day-2.html
I need a cowl stat. Love your outfits on the daily. Can't wait to see what's next!
LOVE this outfit so much. I really want to add a red and white striped shirt to my wardrobe now! Oh well--after the 30 for 30!
Great outfit- you look beautiful!
I LOOOOOVE this outfit! I think I will make a trip to Urban when it warms up, and look for that stripped tee. I'm really into stripes this season for some reason......
I really like it, and I agree it reminds me how the french dress. They dress simple, classic, and never too loud. It's all about investing in classic clothes, and proportions. I really love idea of french dressing, and have read a lot of great articles about it.

So cute outfit. You look a bit like a sailor girl, just in winter :) The red lips suit you!
the lip colour is amazing on you!
Love the outfit! Subtle chic! Oh and I have that same cowl from Gap in navy!
Well, you *look* little glamorous and French, so that's probably why you feel it ;) I'm just really loving your style. I suspect your blog is going to be very helpful in shaking up my "too safe" stay at home mom look. These clothes are timeless and could be worn by a wide range of ages, but you look totally youthful and fresh even in classic pieces. Gush gush gush, I know. But I do really like what you put together. :)
You are so cute! This is so Parisian looking, I'm in love :) I want a red striped shirt now! (Even if horizontal stripes aren't a pregnant gal's best friend, I don't care ;) )

It never occurred to me before that I needed a red-striped shirt. But you know, I DO need a red-striped shirt! :-) It's amazing with the lipstick! All you need is a beret! :-)
Sweet and Sophisticated! Great outfit and that scarf looks cozy.
Cute, cute, cute! This is one of my favorite outfits of yours so far!
Love when you sport the red lips!
J'espere que vous avez un bon week-end aussi!
Great stripped shirt. When I was getting my 30 for 30 together...i am on day 26 (almost done) I laughed when i realized how many nautical stripped shirts I had. Such a great style/pattern for shirts.

The first thing I thought was... great lip colour! Lately I have discovered the power of a nice lip colour. In fact, lately I have refused to wear anything except track pants and lipstick...
Tres chic, for sure. This is casual but still put-together.
I am sooo in love and jealous of your scarf! I saw it at Gap, and didn't snatch it up and I am now kicking myself!!!

Love the lip color! It has nice pink undertones. For a really vibrant red, I recommend DuWop's Private Red.
I wore red lips and a striped shirt for a study outfit last weekend!
ONE OF MY FAVORITE OUTFITS OF YOURS EVER. And I love everything you wear. It's so simple but extremely chic. Well done, Frenchie.
Oh, la la, très français! This is so classic but it looks fresh. I love it!

Oh la la! There is something very French about this look! And the scarf - I want!
I love this! Yo do look very French, especially with your red lips. I really love hat you wore slightly wide leg pants with the fitted top. I have so many pairs of flared and wide leg pants that I can't figure it how to wear. But you've given me lots of inspiration now!

Oh my gosh, so gorgeous! You look casual but somehow still wonderfully glam and elegant. As others have said, its very French chic :)
Hooray for red lipstick! You look way glam.
the red lippy is so good! way to brighten up the winter!
I LOVE that striped shirt, especially with the dark trouser jeans. Feels a bit nautical to me. Red striped shirt is totally on my "to buy" list now...
From one budget blogger to another.. we are LOVING that cozy scarf!! Keep up the Fabulous On A Budget looks!

You look so chic in this outfit - keep up the great work on the 30 for 30
