Red Reed

I was torn over whether or not to keep solid red Reed Shirtdress after I bought it in red plaid. I used my Anthropologie bday discount and got both on sale. I thought I *really* wanted the solid green (I still kind of do) but the orangey red grew on me. I don't usually wear a color this bright on its own, so I styled it a few ways to make it less of an announcement dress and more of simply an outfit.

The Red Reed is sold out, along with all the other combinations, online. But a few occasionally are spotted in stores. I follow the trading community over at Effortless Anthropologie to keep abreast of store stocks.

I like that the solid Reeds are slightly shorter than the plaids. They run a little smaller, too in my opinion. This is a size 8 but it is a little more snug than the plaid was.

*I hadn't really thought about Coach lately, beyond the vintage satchel I bought from ebay. But the  incredibly stylish Owls influenced me to take another look. I found those flats on clearance at Marshalls for even less than the above sale price.

Dressing for Sport: Pittsburgh Pirates

I wore the above last night to watch the Pirates get shut out. :( But at least there remain Pittsburgh teams still fun and uncomplicated to support as a fan.

I almost wore this:

But I couldn't find my PA Black Flag shirt. I guess it is in the laundry?

Although we lost, our seats were on the Club Suite Level, which was a first for me! And in some ways the novelty of exploring the Club and its various different eateries made up for the loss.

Here's a goofus photo of us (you can see how uncrowded that game was):

Cross posted from my tumblog but still worthy of inclusion. What do you sport for baseball games?
