STYLE TIP FOR WEEK 2 MARCH, 2022
HI Hi lovelies..
You know what they say about red lip šššmaking you feel like a bad ass and lady all in one?
Yes, thatās right this March I will explore using red and will share the tips here. This look is inspired by thoughts of England and Spain.
So already you know I believe in looking good every single day..well unless Iām really, really under the weather but even then Iām sure my outfit would be š.
Its like Rihanna said…they can try to beat me but they canāt beat my outfit. I have always used fashion as a defense mechanism, coping mechanism, desire mechanism, anger mechanism and all the sm sms and the fastest way to this is via a la Red colour.
Many people shy away from wearing red but itās really a fun colour to play with. Follow our blog to see different ideas on wearing Red.
Today the focus is pairing red with minimal flowers. As a bold colour Red is definitely going to draw attention attention you. Some people may not be able to handle that …truth be told over attention scares me sometimes š¬too. I donāt really like it when itās itās much but if you wear red in some spaces, brace yourself mentally for it.
So to tone it down abit for this shoot we choose a floral prim and proper skirt with elements of diluted sexiness. The idea inspiration wwas England and Spain. Something meant to be fiery yet also calm. I worked with a wonderful female photographer to create this look for the brand and thought Iād share it with you.
TO ACHIEVE
1 Choose a red colour that suits your skin tone. If you are warm skin toned, to know this just look at your wrist if the veins are greenish you are warm, if bluish you are cold toned. Go for warm red like subtly dark red tones. If you are cold toned choose bright red. Iām warm toned so this red is close to wine.
2. Choose a floral pattern with lots of flowers including red. This can be a skirt, shorts, a pants trouser, a pencil skirt, a wrap skirt.
3. I recommend the floral pattern be the outfit for the bottom to sort of balance shapes if youāre slim. But if youāre bottom heavy then red can be at the bottom and floral at the top. This is because floral patterns make wherever they are on the body appear larger. The red top can be a simple short sleeve blouse or long sleeve, one handed, halter neck or plunging neckline or back. It should however not have heavy patterns like heavy ruffles because the floral pattern is already very busy.
4. Since red is already bold choose minimal jewelry and a hand bag that is also red or however nomatches the floral patterns. Lipstick can either be transparent or red. Please avoid other colours like pink as this will clash although deep wine red šstick can create a dramatic look.
5. Finally the shoe can be red or also floral. If absolutely none of this are available available go for a black shoe. For my outfit I chose a flower decorated shoe that is black in colour and the overall look was classy, innocent, sophisticated and fiery-spicy all at once. Exactly what comes to mind when you think of England and Spain together.
