// Red

Posted on | May 3, 2011 | No Comments

If there is one psychologically difficult color for me it’s definitely red. I love the energizing effect of it, but I have hard time figuring out how to wear such an attention screaming color.

However, seeing it currently literally everywhere I’m starting to warm up. I would like my red to be bright and fresh, perhaps slightly shifting to either coral or raspberry. For cautious approach to it I have been looking for bottoms, they would be easy enough to tame with my slouchy neutral tops. Oh… …the clothes shopping ban — well it was not for jeans and I could truly add a pair, my slightly shrunken frame has changed most from the bottom half and all too many jeans of mine just don’t fit anymore.

The pair above from Zara would have been perfect, especially the subtle coating looked really good in person — but they don’t fit. 38 is loose from the leg an thigh, 36 gives me awful muffin top (I’m very surprised about Zara bottom fit, their tops tend to be small, but bottoms are, well, generous — and definitely cut for very feminine shape. And yes, I have only skirts and tops from there…). Suggestions of anything 1) fresh bright red 2) tight or fitting 3) casual 4) cropped or foldable?

Reds and purples: raspberry, neon pink, red purple, dusty mauve, dusty cool pale pink, antique red (not pictured).

Blues: bright cornflower, navy (not pictured), indigo (not pictured)

Greens: bright kelly green, mint, seafoam shades, sage

The challenge: photograph yours!
