The Little Red Jacket - Pre Winter Dress Style

  

As a wardrobe staple, the red jacket is probably one of the happiest mood lifters among classics .... it is versatile, glam, chic, funky, young , peppy and works with an astounding number of colour combinations !!! Almost all of us, have bought a red jacket or sweater sometime or the other and have worn it till the colour faded or handed it down to a younger cousin or sibling as a rite of passage :) ... Recently D hauled out her old little red jacket as the Delhi weather turned colder ... and S decided to take it along to test the winter afternoon light in a neighbourhood park .... S often does that to D when D least expects it !! ... meaning .... unkempt hair (who has the time to maintain super groomed hair at all times duh) ... zero makeup (there is something about a super expensive camera that demands a modicum of grooming and make up, it is sacrilege to face a Canon 5D Mark 3 with the same attitude as a self clicking camera phone :p) ... well to cut a long story short ... S convinced D ... D put on her favourite Chanel red lipstick ... spritzed on some Diorissimo ( S’s fav perfume) ... borrowed S’s Marc Jacobs sunnies to hide the dark circles and sacrificed herself as a guinea pig !!
