It was just last week that I was showcasing a holiday LRD (little red dress). It turns out that I have another holiday LRD (and maybe even a couple more–we’ll see!). This little red dress now appears to be more of tunic since I might have (again!) hemmed it too short. Both the snowflake tunic and fringed gilet were given to me from Firefly–it’s part of being a brand ambassador for them. I cannot complain! And both these items are now on serious sale! My friend Norbyah took the photos–which also inspired the hat. I had seen one on her reminding me to wear my own. The cool–or I should say hot–thing about wearing a hat is how it keeps one so warm. We have now reached the point in Hong Kong weather where layers are so helpful. So while I don’t need a ton to keep me warm, I was plenty cozy and also protected from the cool breeze and light drizzle.
This last picture is a sample of some over-the-top-ness. I added the tie from the first Holiday LRD. Then for more layers I added a fur infinity scarf as well as a red and black leopard scarf. I think if I were cold, I just keep it two the two scarves. Because wearing a hat is already on the more daring side (at least for me anyway), I didn’t need to add any extra color with the red tie.
Some Outfit Details:
Hat–Forever 21
Earrings–exchange years and years ago from my good friend Annie
Lippy–Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in Hot Pepper
Gilet and Tunic Dress—Firefly c/o
Fringe Boots–Tory Burch
Extras–Tie from this dress, Zara leopard scarf, and Forever 21 faux fur infinity scarf

I know you said you don’t love the red tie (i’m assuming you’re talking about the one on the hat)—but to me it’s fabulous! It totally ties together the red of your lipstick & your dark hair—-truly…I love it!! If you asked me, I’d keep that one, and not wear the red leopard scarf.
Have a great monday!!!! jodie

Hahah! Awesome Jodie. I love how you always comment with stylish recommendations. I rarely wear a hat–but I think I might start wearing it more. Since I don’t wear one very often, it seemed so much more attention grabbing with the red tie. But you’re right: it does compliment the dress–and red lippy!
Thank you for commenting Jodie! Love, Ann
LRD are becoming your signature Ann! You just look so delicious in them! I’m with Jodie, I LOVE the red tie around the hat for exactly the same reasons. It lifts eveything.
I love that photo of you looking down by those Chinese symbols.

Hahaha! I think so Jacqueline! There are two more LRDs in my wardrobe that I’m fixin’ to style. One is so holiday! Wait till you see it!! It’s a one shoulder style though, so I’m trying to figure out how to make it work in the cold–might just try the turtleneck underneath! The other one you’ve seen with plaid shirt underneath. I think I want to try to pair that one with faux fur! Yes, I do love my LRDs!! Thanks for stopping by Petite Vix! Love, Ann
Ann…you are stunning in black and red!
Those legs are to die for….and your fringe boots are a favourite of mine, such stylish fun!
As for the scarf situation…..I often double up on my scarves, twisting them together for extra warmth and/or colour. I don’t think your last look is over the top at all. The colours all sit together well and it looks interesting (texturally) as well as practical.
You always make me laugh with your idea of “bold”…two scarves is OTT but fringe boots, shaggy vests and BRIGHT red lips are not!
You are an inspiration, because these elements are super-bold in my book yet a hat a two scarves would not be.
I love how differently we view things and how each individual has comfortable items that may seem bold to another.
i love getting to know you (and your style) better.

Hahah! I am actually chuckling because you are so right. All our versions of OTT and BOLDness vary so much. Red lippy is pretty much my daily color! In fact as I write (in another LRD), I still haven’t applied my red lip, and I feel rather naked. I’ve had a few conversations with colleagues (yes, I’m at work–don’t tell!), and I keep thinking, “I hope they don’t realize I haven’t applied my lippy yet!” So silly. Anyway, thank you for commenting Sam. I love to hear what you have to say.
Love, Ann
This is the prettiest LRD you’ve showcased thus far, Annie. I love that entire Joni Mitchell meets Stevie Nicks vibe. It’s funny how you move so smoothly and seamlessly between vibes, so enviable 🙂 love love love.
This is such a fun and bohemian look on you Ann. I love and want your dress and boots. =)
