Red Bandit

Thrifted top and purse, Gap jeans, J. Crew blazerBlowfish flats c/o

While I was minding my own business, taking photos of myself behind a warehouse, a guy walked up and started questioning what I was doing.

He was "concerned" because he lives nearby and there's been a lot of theft in the area. I couldn't help but laugh and get sarcastic as I explained that I understood his concerns - I mean, obviously I go around robbing homes at 1:30 in the afternoon with a camera, and in my brightest coat. Also, I'm not sure what he was worried about me taking, because my collection of stolen rusty pipes is already complete.

Pin It!

  7. Love that blazer, I was so tempted to just get it with their current sale it is a great price! But, I wasn't sure how the color would look with my skin and if I would need a tall...is your's a tall? I think I might just take the plunge but, in fuchsia, which I think would be better for my complexion. Also, those flats are so cute!

  20. JEANS. Love the shoes; glad to see you're now feeding foot fetishes with close-ups. This seems like a different look for you. More 80s? Punky? I'm not sure. But I dig it.

    ReplyDelete
  21. You look adorable, Megan! But you also look quite suspicious cuz you know, you can never trust someone in snakeskin flats.

    ReplyDelete
  22. That blouse is FABULOUS. Love the colors, love the flowers!

    ReplyDelete
  23. The blazer is amazing, especially with the pops of color from the shirt! I would have to agree that this would not, however, make a good outfit for mid-day robberies haha! Happy friday to you (and a happy New Year as well)!

  28. You're the best dressed burglar I've ever seen. I'm always hiding from red and orange pieces so I'm pretty jealous that you made this amazing blazer work. Not many red heads can wear red but you made it work flawlessly.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I was just thinking you looked pretty suspicious....haha. I love that top. You are such a good thrifter. I would have probably passed over that little gem at the thrift store.

  38. Hahahaha oh gosh, these awkward interactions only could happen to a certain type--and by that, I mean bloggers who quickly try and snap selfies without going noticed by the general public! Myself included, obviously. :) I am in love with your red blazer--my favorite!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Ha! I had plenty of awkward questions like that... but mostly it was people asking me if I was a surveyor (it's the tripod.) And I was always tempted to answer "Do you think a surveyor would dress like this?" Anyway, your red blazer is lovely!

    ReplyDelete
  40. People are ridiculous! I guess one way to not look suspicious is to stand out in a super obvious, super bright way. Well done, friend, well done. I wish I looked cute in blazers like that, but I don't! :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Haha, you are the least suspicious person I could possibly imagine! I LOVE your top...such a pretty floral!

  52. I love that dark floral shirt against the red - I have (somewhat) similar pieces and I would never have thought to pair them together!

  60. What a stupid ass! HaHaHa Oh Megan! What you ladies put up with. Great outfit! Love that top, blazer and your shoes.

  61. Dude, that's crazy. didn't he know that everything burglar likes to document themselves step by step? (And doing it in bright coats to boots!) Heh, I always end up going out into the woods just because of things like this, I've gotten so shy now about people asking me what Im up too that I just don't even want to try it. :P
    I do just love your flats with the ankles straps, those are so fun and spiffy looking, no chance of those going flying off!

  62. I love this outfit on you :)

  65. Thanks, Christine! I didn't get a tall...I'm 5'10" and I think the regular length falls at a good place.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Thanks that helps a lot! I agree, the length looks perfect. I can just go for a regular, since I'm only 5' 7".

  67. Clearly you were "casing the joint."

    Love the outfit! That blazer and shirt were meant for each other, and for you.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I love your outfit. I'm agreeing with the previous comments about the shirt and blazer are met created for each other. I even pinned this outtfit.

  69. I swear, when people wanna talk to you, it's about crazy things. One guy asked me to take video of his workouts and come workout with him....LOL! I love the red jacket though - so cute
