Red Velvet

This look is one of my favorites that I've styled for The Mod Little Melanin, recently. The focal point of this look was a pair of red velvet boots that were given to me as a Christmas gift. Continue reading below for outfit tips!

In order to bring attention to my red velvet boots, I decided to pair them with red and burgundy pieces. My red bodysuit, embroidered with a popular Beyoncé line, Flawless, was also given to me as a Christmas gift. I typically have a difficult time finding bodysuits that are actually comfortable enough to wear because of my height. If you're a tall girl, 5'8" and above, I recommend shopping at Charlotte Russe or Wet Seal for bodysuits. They tend to have bodysuits with a longer torso, and offer size extra large if you need a bigger size to accommodate your height.

I layered my bodysuit with a burgundy faux fur vest that I actually found at Stein Mart this time last year. I know Stein Mart tends to have a reputation to cater towards the greatest generation (i.e. Baby Boomers) but occasionally that have some good finds that you wouldn't find elsewhere for such an affordable price. To complete the look I added highwaisted jeans, purchased from Garage, a pair of silver earrings and a choker from Forever 21. The choker has since broke, and I don't recommend buying chokers from Forever 21 if you want them to last. I suggest Charlotte Russe or Missguided.com instead.

This look is perfect for everyday or a night out with your girls!
