Okay ladies and gents, here it is: the red, white and black outfit I have been talking about for weeks. First, I was looking for red pieces, then I found my first, and now here it is in all it's glory: the red outfit I needed for my trip to Houston. I am so excited about how this look came together even though it is nothing like I first imagined.

I ordered a red dress a few weeks ago and planned on wearing a simple shift dress with a black and white beaded necklace with simple heels. Well, that plan went out the window as soon as that dress arrived. Plus, replacing it was a nightmare and I finally gave up on the hunt for the perfect red dress. Especially when I spotted this bright red top at TJ Maxx last week. It is the perfect shade of red and knew it would be great with a fun chunky necklace. And boy did I get lucky with this necklace.

I searched high and low for the right white necklace and ended up buying a couple to take home and try on with this top. Well, this big ball necklace was the winner and I couldn't be more thrilled. I have wanted a big white necklace for awhile and now that I have it I am wishing I bought it months ago so I could have worn it all summer. And how fun is that sparkly ball in the middle? Obsessed.

So, after all the hype... what are your thoughts on this red, white and black outfit? Did I talk it up too much?
