In the Christmas Spirit.

“City sidewalks
Busy sidewalks
Dressed in holiday style
In the air
There’s a feeling
Of Christmas…”
– Silver Bells

In December, there is that one feeling of expectancy of one of the best holidays there is – Christmas. Christmas is a season of gladness, bringing a sense of joy and peace to all those who appreciate and celebrate it. One feels so happy during this time of year that one may even choose to incorporate the season’s colours into their everyday life: decorations, gifts and even their cars.

However, in today’s post, I am choosing to put forth my festive side by making use of the Christmas colours – Green, Red, White & Gold – in clothes.

In all honesty, this colour combination is not the easiest to pull off when creating an outfit. The thought alone of red and green would make some persons feel disgusted and confused.

Nonetheless, that is what made me try it out in the first place, showing that there is beauty even in the oddest of situations, or in this case, colour combos.

Contrast also come into play when making use of the festive colours in your attire. The balance of the shirt and skirt are well balanced with the model’s skin tone, allowing her to exude elegance. One can also choose to make use of darker shades of Red and green, to refrain from appearing unappealing by looking like a hot mess.

All in all, T’is the season to be jolly and you can start by integrating the colours of the season in your next outfit. It does not have to be all the colours in one outfit, but try to throw in a few Reds and Greens here and there in celebration of Christmas.

So what do you think about the outfit?

Do you believe you can be in the Christmas spirit by using some of the its colours, or do you think that is unnecessary?

When Rain Falls, Be Vibrant

“Try to be a rainbow
in someone’s cloud.”
-Maya Angelou

Most people when they see rain, it brings them feelings of dread and disgust, focusing on only the negatives the situation brings. This also makes these individuals feel slightly nonchalant when it comes to picking an outfit for that rainy day: going for whatever seems comfortable, even if they end up appearing lazy and unpleasant.

However, in today’s post, I am opposing this way of thinking and following another option – a more vibrant one that is!
For this look, I made sure to put forth the model’s bubbly side by incorporating some bright items, such as the bright orange trousers, with the red purse and matching shoes.

This choice of attire brings a certain dynamism, which opposes the dull environment that appears prior, during or even after the rain falls. Adding these colourful pieces allow you to truly stand out like you were always born to.

You could even end up being a satisfying sight for sore eyes that are fed up with how monotonous their day seems to be.

Nevertheless, even though one wishes to be bright and playful in their choice of clothing during a rainy day, it does not allow the person to come out looking like a hot mess. Balance is key in instances dealing with bright colours. For example, the black blouse used in this outfit calms down the liveliness the wild colours from the clothing pieces bring.

All in all, even when raindrops begin to fall, do not let that get you down, especially when it comes to setting out an ensemble for the day.

See that day like any other that God has blessed you with and rock that day like I know you can. Make those drab days fun with some vibrant colours.

So what do you think of the Outfit?

When it’s a rainy day, do you think you can add some vibrant colours, or do you think that is too much?

Pink & Red Do Work Together

“I think there is beauty in everything. What ‘normal’ people would perceive as ugly, I can usually see something of beauty in it.”
– Alexander McQueen

Pink and Red: both fun colors to use, but at the same time one has to be cautious when using each of them so as not to look like a hot mess. So that’s one of the reasons why it is rather difficult to pair the two in an attire.

It’s funny that although pink and red are similar, most would agree that the thought of both of them together may appear uncanny and ridiculous; pairing the two up might even be known as a “fashion don’t.”

Well, as you may have found out from my blog posts, I don’t necessarily like to follow the rules when it comes to fashion and my personal style – which is why I have chosen to wear Red and Pink together.

Truth be told, this trend of blending in the two is becoming rather popular. In fact, the other day I saw a dress by Red Valentino that was pink with red hearts on it.

However, before you start planning out your pink and red outfit, let me give you a secret tip on how you can look attractive in your ensemble:

Pale Pink and Bold Red.

Using the pale pink and bold red brings about a sort of balance in your outfit: while you have the bold red that grabs your attention, the presence of the pale pink is subtle, not so “attention grabbing” but also hard to miss. And for accessorize, I kept it simple and neutral to give a bit of contrast to my vivid clothing choice.

So knowing this, don’t be scared to mix Red and pink in once in a while. However, if you’re not interested in using the colors in clothes, you can start small – and safe – by using them as accessorize.

How to wear Red and Pink

Don’t be stuck in your own style bubble and try something new. Someone once said, “Fashion is like eating, you shouldn’t stick to the same menu.” Therefore, try a different menu, in a different restaurant. Life is too short to do the same thing over and over again.

So what are your thoughts on the outfit?

Do you think the Red & Pink can work together or would you rathere just keep them apart?
