The story:
Wanna wear vintage and some colour to the office?
This works perfectly well!
Let's face it, it's not easy to wear red (unless that's your colour), yet red is a colour we would so love to wear!
And this makes it easy:

Pinned?: No. But it was belted to show how it looks when worn with one.

This works perfectly well!
Let's face it, it's not easy to wear red (unless that's your colour), yet red is a colour we would so love to wear!
And this makes it easy:
- A subdued red that 'sinks' into the fabric so it is lovely and dark
- A mandarin collar neckline which gives it some elegance
- Long sleeves which you could wear rolled up for a spunkier look
- Matching double-sided fabric belt with one side a solid navy blue colour so you could go contrasty or matchy
- Beautiful spherical buttons down the front
- POCKETS on both sides
- A forgiving straight cut which you could give shape to easily with a belt
