Our obsession with red started as little girls all dressed in our red leotards and tutus ready for our first dance recital. We felt so special and striking in this bold color even though we messed up every single step to “On the Good Ship Lollipop”. We didn’t care about our dancing blunders because we loved the way we looked and that confidence and attitude made us shine.
Fast forward to 2013 and here we are all excited about the hot color for the season…RED, and we are ready to rock it once again. Red which is often considered the power color, is also linked to love, romance and the heart which makes it no wonder why women keep coming back to this fabulous hue. It is so hot right now that designers and stores like Neiman Marcus have even deemed it the new neutral. While the jury is still out on that one, it is clear that red is the IN color. We feel that red can serve as a backdrop, complement other eye catching colors or take center stage depending how daring you are.
Now even though our dancing shoes are hung up and our red tutu days are long gone, that exciting feeling of wearing one of our favorite colors will never get old for us. So get out there, try it and get “RED”y to shine!
