Late Night Date Night

After carrying around my umbrella with me all day yesterday, I finally decided that all of the forecasts had been wrong, and with no fear of rain, I decided to change into some dressier clothes for the evening.  We fortunately snapped these pictures right before we got hit with a huge downpour.  And it continued to rain and rain all night long.  For my late night look, I choose to pair bright red pants with a polka dot blazer and a skull clutch.  I topped the look off with a contemporary baroque-style necklace that I think added a touch of romance to the look.  What do you guys think about my pairing?  

P.S. I wanted to let you guys know that yesterday I set up a facebook page for A's Fashion Files, so please take a second to LIKE it when you get a chance (the LIKE button is on the ride-hand side of my blog!!).  I'll be posting previews of my looks on there, as well as sneak peeks of DIYs that I'm working on.  Plus, it's always nice to stay connected in other ways.

P.P.S. Speaking of DIY projects, some of you have asked when I will be posting another one, and I promised it would be this week.  I have something in the works, and will be posting a new DIY on how to rework a vintage bag on Saturday.  I'll post a sneak peek later today on my facebook page!
