Why we spotted her: It’s never easy to pull off red. The fieryness of it — and the way it clashes with almost everything — makes it a color of choice for only the most daring of fashionistas. Ashlee, however, does an incredible job pulling off her red tee. Her dark hair/fair complexion paired with leg-lengthening black jeans and soft translucent shades helps the simple red tee POP. Neutral tones with the bright colors, kids. Take note! Start using all those fun new school supplies!
