Red. It conjures up all sorts of images, doesn’t it? Power. Anger. Rage. Love. Red is sexy, alluring, bold – it pulls people in and announces, in no uncertain terms, that you are unafraid of confrontation. Or of power, anger, rage, or even love, for that matter.

I know the new year has only just begun, but I thought I’d give you a quick tip for ways to start building your spring wardrobe – so here you have it: Go Red. Buy a pair of sexy red heels (they work wonders, trust me), cinch up your little black dress with a red belt, don a red blazer, warm your hands with some red leather gloves, pair a sexy red skirt with a black tank, black boyfriend blazer, black tights and sexy boots…you get the picture.

I know, red seems an unlikely candidate for Spring, but not according to the runways. Red harmoniously made it’s appearance alongside of the subdued neutrals and soft earthy palettes – almost every single designer added in a dash of red, cerise, pomegranate, or pimento to their collections. (If you want a more in-depth Spring preview, you can read my latest article on Lifetime Moms.)

Remember, wearing red is much like wearing a chunky necklace – don’t overdo it. Tone down the rest of your ensemble, or better yet, use your red item as the basis for your outfit, and build up and out from there. Oh, and then send me PICTURES! Who knows, you could be internet famous.

That’s way cooler than regular famous, anyway.
