RED…The Color That Says Happy Holidays Like No Other

Nothing says Happy Holidays like my fave color RED...but this year, even though I love head-to-toe color this time of year, I’m featuring one of my fave newer ways to wear RED.….with animal prints and Dolce & Gabbana did it best for Fall/Winter 2019.

As I sit here on this chill-filled morning in Houston, Texas, I can’t help but reflect on my weekend just spent in NYC and how I left in snow flurries yesterday! So maybe not snowing here but beautiful, sunny and crisp outside. All of this…..leaving the holiday magic of the Apple, which seemed to be glowing in RED this season, even more so than normal, said to me that the time is here! I am inspired (and a little panicked as I’m so behind!!!). However, nothing has consistently put me in a more cheerful, holiday spirit year after year, no matter the weather outside, than the color of the season…..RED!

No secret to anyone that knows me or follows me, I have a true passion for this fabulously bold color, RED, for many reasons, not the least of which is that it is not for the faint-of-heart or the fashion-timid! However for me, One, it has become a part of my daily life…wear a touch of it every day (REDGLASSES!), have incorporated it into my home, it’s also my accessory color of choice always as my pop for handbag, shoes, etc., my food (after all I am Italian and who can resist pasta or pizza with that infamous RED sauce!). It’s my beauty touch of choice…lips and nails and I could go on and on….get the picture of my RED, RED world!

However, what is exciting to me is that the world has caught on as well. Fashion experts and just everyday fashion lovers have grown to recognize this color as the newest addition to neutrals. When I say neutral, it’s not in the same vein as the more subdued shades of black, navy, grey but as the pop of color basic that can be worn with absolutely everything and by everyone….who doesn’t look great in RED?! I even did a blog post once on how great REDheads can look in this once forbidden color for them to wear?!
