//// Seeing red
Posted on | February 7, 2010 | 1 Comment
Red is a difficult color for me. Bright reds look ok on me… …but I have hard time in the attention screaming company of this color.
However, I’m inclined to readjust my attitude after seeing this weirdly fascinating rose jacket from H&M garden collection. It would create a sea of outfit problems for me — the color and the shape have serious auntie connotations and come on, I’m on the auntie age already, that doubles the dangerousness — but I would still love it’s unapologetic rosey kitchiness.
I would probably try to tame it by slipping it over white and nude underwearish slipdresses. Over a beige fitted mini dress. With jean shorts, simple T and clumpy strappy sandals. The playful part of me wants just to go for the full blown gold coast granny style with this (actually Lin Shaye is wearing a pink, toned down version of rose jacket in one of the pics) — yeah, maybe on next Halloween… Or then again it could just hang on my wardrobe and I could recoup my courage with a half bottle of summery rose wine.
