Something about this preppy, bold room designed by Joe Nye from House Beautiful spoke to me- the classic details but daring color combination jumped right off the page. So I thought “I wonder if I can turn this into an outfit?” A challenge, for sure- since combining green an red can often look a tad “T’was the Night Before Christmas”…

And a heads up for all the yogis out there- don’t forget to check out the Lululemon sale on Rue La La today at 11 a.m.!!! I am actually considering cancelling a doctor’s appointment to be here in front of my computer at the start of the sale- it’ll go FAST!
As a side note, this tank is my new very favorite by them- adjustable straps, low sexy back and a flattering longer length. LOVE- especially when paired with the “so cozy you’ll wear it over everything” Pulse Wrap. I have a Lulu addiction adn I promise I shall seek help for it. :)
And in closing for the week, I so appreciate all your amazing comments from yesterday’s post. So helpful and so touching to know that there are so many people out there who have asked the same questions or are currently pondering the same choices. I adore you all- thank you so much for taking time out of your days to read my little blog!
HAPPY WEEKEND!

Wow, Erin! That outfit is a perfect re-imagining of that room! Very nice. That Jackie bag is killing me with its perfection.
Have a great weekend!
Erin – I need your help! I can't think of a better person to ask. I'm looking for a throw to complement my bedroom. The room is mainly black and white (think graphic striped curtains, hotel bedding) with accents of apple green and turquoise. I would like to purchase a throw to add some pattern to my bedding. Any thoughts? I'm having a devil of a time trying to find one that's unique and graphic-patterned.
That belt is sheer genius! I love the whole thing. Very nicely done.
Erin,
What is up with Rue La la? Everything was sold out in less than 5 min? Seriously, I was so happy getting to the Lululemon boutique, shopping, adding stuff to my shopping bag and when I went to check out 2 min later, everything was sold out and all the items were removed from my shopping bag. I am so sad :(
Were you able to get something for yourself?
Rali- The same thing happened to me (I thought once they were in your cart you were safe for 10 minutes?) but I ended up getting two tops for $50! We'll see if they fit!
I really like the headboard and the wallpaper combo of this bedroom..Your weekend outfits are so cute too!
Always perfectly put together…
Have a wonderful weekend!
I loved this bedroom from the second I saw it in House Beautiful- your outfit inspired from it is great- love how casual chic it is.
Have a great weekend!
I was traveling on I-5 in WA state recently, passed a Lululemon outlet and instantly thought of you……
So I think yes you may have a slight Lulu problem, as "it" (your passion, fixation, adoration of all things Lulu) has now been chronicled so far and wide that complete strangers associate you with the product! :)
Love the Polyvore outfit.
I love the Pulse wrap. And thanks for the link – I'm going to go check out that site.
The bag is magnificent but I almost passed out when I saw the $3,195 price tag. That's two months of rent…for a bag. I'll be eagerly awaiting the knock-offs.
Oh I know, it's ridiculous. A girl can dream.
great way to outfit that room! have a wonderful weekend…and don't get in too much trouble at that sale.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the green wrap sweater! I must have it in my closet!
I was surprised by how well the outfit turned out! I always shy away from pairing red and green, but I like how the pink in this outfit/room neutralizes the Yuletide spirit.
I really love that room – I really really love the red purse you found :)
OMG!! The same thing happened to me today w/ Rue La La! I was really hoping they would have more crops too! :( Oh well, We'll all have to pay full price I guess! Also, there hasn't been very good loot on their online store lately has there?
That red bag is amazing I LOVE polyvore!
I love this color combination. I love this room, I actually posted about it yesterday. Loving the outfit!
Love your outfit designed around the colours in the room…outstanding job! I can see why you like those looooong tanks after seeing the pic of you and Seleta!
Blessings!
