The Red Alert

It's true what they say: a touch of red will add a touch of spice. Of course the color may bring to mind other connotations - Beep beep the fire truck? Stop in the name of (red) love? Perhaps the red-inked exam you failed? But don't let these memories tarnish your perception! Red is the color of creativity, of love, of happiness. And above all, it's the color of this season's most fashionable people! Here you have some examples:

Groovy! This brings together some of the latest trends: 70's bell bottoms, velvet material, blazer jackets, big scarves, and more importantly, our color red! A beautiful outfit!

Walk it girl! The color of her skirt goes beautifully with the nude tones of her shirt and coat. When you wear such a bright color, it is a good idea to play the rest of your outfit down with lighter and earthier tones.

The cut of this maxi skirt is fantastic. Contrary to what many may think, this type of skirt will cover up many of your imperfections. If you are perfect already (as I know many of you are), then just wear this skirt as this fashionista has, with a belt and shirt tucked in. But if not, you can always wear a looser shirt on top, and it will make you look as great as she does!

My type of lady! What a great outfit!

Beautifully done pieces of red that pop out alongside the minimalism of an outfit.

 And lastly, do not forget that you can compliment any outfit by a shade of red on your cheeks or lips.

And voila! Here you have it, red complimenting every outfit and every place! Use it girls, but don't abuse it by overwhelming us with the color. Just a touch will do!
