I haven’t been able to forget an outfit that Rihanna wore at the beginning of the month.
That color combination reminds me of a matchy-matchy Esprit outfit I had in the ’80s when Esprit was hot-hot-hot. As I recall, I wore cropped purple pants with a boxy, striped purple and orange-yellow top.
It seems everything reminds me of the ’80s lately, doesn’t it?
As for Rihanna’s hair, my Wear What You Want™ policy applies to heads too. If Raggedy Ann is your style icon, let your raggedy freak flag fly.
If Rihanna’s hair color isn’t called “yarn red,” it should be!
I too loved Esprit and everything was so matchy matchy! I’m kind of wishing the 80’s would stay away though. I didn’t love all of it.
Oh shit, I love that outfit! Had not seen it yet. And I like that she went all out accesorizing with a foxy pair of hoops. : )
haha Yeah I suppose that is a Raggedy Ann red. I like her recent outfits. I feel like I\’ve been reading around a lot and seeing people say her fashion sense might not be as good as it use to be but I like her new funkyness.
I wish you has a picture of your Esprit jumpsuit! I bet you totally rocked it <3
Esprit was HUGE … the most amazing short-lived store in West Hollywood, HUGE, done by Joe D’Orso. Failure and later it became a CVS store.
I think that Alan Schwartz came out of there.
Liking Rihanna mostly because of that Eminem video.
Most people don’t seem to like her yarn red hair, but I love it, she looks sassy.
I have always hated Esprit with a passion, it makes me think of people who like sports.
I was a big fan of Espirit in
yes it is very 80’s! I like the mix of purple and orange. so vibrant
dude. loving the purple & orange…can totally see this with a touch of leopard. regarding the raggedy reference: redken actually makes a product called wool shake that is supposed to give your hair the texture of yarn. just sayin’.
you could totally pull this outfit off however us common folk-not so much;)

I love these colors together. Rihanna does a good job keeping her looks interesting on all fronts: hair, makeup, clothing, shoes, everything.
Hahaha the red raggedy doll hair is brilliant xx
Yarn red is a perfect description. And, yes, that is a definite Esprit flashback.
80’s nostalgia rules!
Hey Rhianna stole my hair colour! At least I hate purple.

So many people have been stealing Rihanna’s old look, she almost HAS to do something new.
When you said Raggedy Ann’s wardrobe needed pizzaz, I was SURE you were going to loan her some jewelry. A pendant, perhaps? A thumb ring?
I LOVE Rihanna’s style, she is bold and amazing, LOVE her!!!
XOXO

Wow, that purple and orange is like an old-school Esprit flag. And red hair is really appealing to me these days.
Haha — I’ve flown my yarn red freak flag with pride!
omg esprit! i totally remember because i couldn’t afford it and had to thrift shop all my clothing. it was good in the end because i became more creative because of it. thanks for the memories!
