The Red Pill Or The Blue Pill?

My best friend Suzanne gave me an amazing coat. I decided to create an outfit around it.

Suzanne collects and sells clothing online, deploying superior fashion sense for pecuniary reward. I'm honored whenever Suzanne gives me something and this piece has exceptional brio.

I paired the coat with attention-grabbing checkered pants, a white body-suit and red heels. I wanted to create a visually dramatic look. Did I succeed?

The blog-post heading is inspired by the coat; the phrase is a popular meme from a 20-year old sci-fi film, "The Matrix." You can learn about the phrase's cultural meaning here.

What do you think of the outfit?

    Ooh! Fab! Is the coat suede? Love the hint of texture with that bright color. And the black and white check with bold red shoes and coat... Swoon! One of my favorite combos. And you look great in those pieces! Really flattering!

    I advise against wearing those pants if out drinking. I have not had anything to drink and the pattern is making my eyes spin. Great combo, however, of the top, pants jacket and, especially, the shoes
