I have always loved combining brown + red in my wardrobe, I think it’s a stunning union.  Red = fire and brown = earth so you have 2 opposite elements battling it out and you see that when you combine the 2 colors.  There is that struggle of succession that I’m enamored with.  Enough psycho babble talk about what I think these 2 colors mean lets get down to business.  I collected this gorgeous Theory chocolate brown stretch top that is in pristine condition.  For Theory Spring 2010, 17 stylists pored over the collection to find their must have pieces, and with a fresh perspective and unique style, they mixed, matched and layered, to create the looks that inspired them to inspire you.  They illustrate that there is no single way to wear it, no one way to style it, and that one perfect piece has infinite possibilities.  The next item I found was this red cotton petal shaped skirt by Cynthia Steffe.  Shaun Kearney took over the creative helm at Cynthia Steffe in 2008.  Shaun Kearney, the British designer is trained in New York and London and is well known among the fashion set for having previously held major design positions at Donna Karen, MaxMara, Laundry by Shelli Segal and Randolph Duke.  The brown Theory top with the red petal skirt by Cynthia Steffe is superb together and if you just needed that extra touch well then have I got a gorgeous Michael Kors tweed button up jacket for you.  The cut and design of this Kor’s jacket is fantastically modern plus it has that military edge to it.  So it means to kick a little butt and you see that in the construction of this garment.  I just think the entire ensemble looks great together, the red compliments the brown and everyone is copacetic.  Please email me if there is any item you see on my blog that interest you and I’ll provide you with price, additional photos and measurements.  Be sure to check out The Thrifters Boutique and follow me on Twitter & Facebook, also please enjoy my YouTube videos on thrifting.  Toodles for now.  Daniel
