Tips for wearing Red

Are you ready for Valentines Day?

Red, the color of Valentines Day - powerful, sexy, energetic.  It conjures a lot of emotions.

But, do you "wear" it?    I'm guilty (like many of us) for sticking to the blacks, grays, taupe's, etc.  I'll add a pop of color - but I tend to shy away from full-on color.

Here's a red dress from one of my favorite dress makers, Effie's Heart, based in Santa Clara, CA.  Effie's Heart makes beautiful, cotton blend designs with vintage, playful prints.

I will be adding Effie's Heart dress-line to my inventory in the near future.  I hope you like it.

This red dress is available--s,m,l.   Cotton/Lycra, umbrella print.

Five Tips for Wearing Red

Find the Right Shade ~ if you have a cool skin tone (silver jewelry and/or white is more flattering on you) try pink or blue-based reds. If your skin tone is warm (gold jewelry and/or ivory looks best) go for yellow or orange-based shades.

Prepare to be Noticed ~ red can make you the center of attention.

Choose the Occasion ~ while it can be a great choice for a date, it might not be the best idea to wear too much red for an important meeting or negotiation. 

Break it Up ~ if you're going head to toe in a dress, add a different color belt or accessories. Or do the opposite. Accessorize with crimson accents, nails or lipstick.

Just Add Va-Va Voom ~ the color red exudes charm and confidence.
