Katie Holmes Wears Shades of Orange

What do you think of Katie Holmes’ outfit in this picture?

This was taken last April 2, when Katie and Suri were spotted heading off to Alice’s Tea Cup for dinner.

Suri was looking cute in her piggy slippers, but Katie was a little off on her wardrobe choice. Well, at least that’s what I think.

I actually don’t mind the color combination (tangerine jacket over an orange red or rufous (?) dress), despite it being too warm for my taste. But I find the scarf’s print and color unsuitable for the outfit. I also don’t like the pair of maroon Mary Jane pumps on her feet, it’s a little too dowdy-looking. A sleeker and higher pair in light brown or tan would have looked better.

I wish Katie fixed her hair a little better too; and maybe worn a bit of make up. I know she’s a busy hands-on mom, but some tinted moisturizer and hair product would have helped.

I’m sorry if I’m bashing here. I don’t mean Katie any disrespect. In fact, I love her; I’ve been a fan since Dawson’s Creek. But it would be nice to see her look more put together once in a while. If I had my way, I would ask her to put on the following instead:

Miss Sixty Jessica, on sale for US$99 (Zappos.com)

OR

BCBGeneration Bristol, on sale for US$81 (Zappos.com)

After which I would ask her to lose the scarf and don some great looking hoop earrings
