Bloggers Do it Better: Red

14 Feb

Quick: how many pieces of RED clothing do you own? If you’re like me, the answer is not many. I counted 4 red items in my wardrobe: a cardi, blouse, tank top, and pair of Christmas socks.

I’d say it’s about time to add this bold color to my life! One of my favorite fashion blogs, Pretty Shiny Sparkly, is hosting a challenge to help with just that. She’s asked bloggers to show how real girls wear real trends in her column called “Bloggers Do It Better.” Today’s assignment is simple: show us how you wear red!

Since I shared a few red-hot Valentine’s Day outfit ideas with you all a few weeks ago (here, here, and here), I figured it was only fair to reveal my own red Vday outfit. Here’s what I wore to dinner with my sweetie on Sunday night. Happy Valentine’s Day!

How to wear red

And because bloggers really DO do it better, here are a few other red-inspired outfits from six fellow bloggers. This is also my sneaky way of sharing my fav fashion blogs with you all (seriously, check them out). Looking good, ladies!

    Red tights? Red pants? Not loving those. But I do love your outfit with the (who would have thought?) yellow purse.

      Thanks, Maureen! Yellow is my fav color :)
      PS – you’d be surprised how fun and flattering red pants can be!

    I absolutely love red, but when I thought about it I realised I don’t really own that much red either (one skirt, one dress, and one sweater). Coincidentally, I did happen to wear my red skirt yesterday :)
