Sherry’s #OOTD Outfit of the Day Style & Fashion Look: The Cherry Red Soda Look

Posted on January 1, 2021

I post my outfits on the blog every day at noon (12 p.m. EST) under this Style category #OOTD Daily Style and then I do a summary of all the looks in my Month of Style roundup at the end of the month.

This makes me want to break out in a song from Grease. There’s something about this skirt (SO SWING-Y), and in this super bright cherry red colour that makes me feel so FIFTIES. I think the Grease reference comes from the jacket. They all wore the best jackets in that movie….

The necklace is a simple piece made by a Québecoise artisan, out of crimped copper. I paid more than I probably should have for it, but it’s just such a versatile, minimalist statement piece.

The belt is off an old Burberry trench coat that I already sold (it no longer fit my shoulders after having Little Bun), and the leftover of what I bought the coat for, and the belt I snagged off it, was about $250, so I am making the cost of the belt that amount.

I love that the belt loops PERFECTLY into the skirt (!!!) I mean.. when does that ever happen?

The heels are peeking out and they add a touch of something elegant to the outfit. I feel like it just makes it perfectly work-appropriate.

Sherry of Save. Spend. Splurge.

Am my own Sugar Daddy. Am a millionaire at 36 after getting out of $60K of student debt in 18 months, a little over a decade earlier, using TheBudgetingTool.com. I have worked 50% of my career (taking 1-2 year breaks), and quadrupled my income within 2 years of graduating, going from $65K to $260K with an average lifetime savings rate of 50%. I have 11 side incomes that are on track in 2020 to make me $50K - $75K. I could retire today if I wanted, but love my work-life balance as a freelancing consultant in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). I am all about balance - between time and money, and also enjoying my money. I also post daily on Instagram @saverspender.
