Red, White, and...Lace??

I actually meant to wear the top half of this outfit yesterday, but the fur vest was calling my name, so I left this out as a potential for today.  As a fashionista, there are some color combinations that I try to stay away from: Red/Green (too Christmas-y), Green/Orange (too Miami Dolphin-y), Green/Yellow (unless I'm cheering on my Green Bay Packers), and occasionally Red/White/Blue.  In moderation, these colors are beautiful together, but I guess I always fear looking too much like an American flag.  But since these colors are a little more demure (and the white is more of a "cream" tone), I decided to try it out.  This whole outfit is a little bit out of my comfort zone, but I decided to just go for it, and I'm actually quite happy with how it turned out!


Does anyone else have their own "Forbidden Color Combinations"??
