I wasn’t so sure if this is something that I should actually
be admitting to the world but I realised that I needed to get a grip and just
inform everyone that I cannot stand the colour red in the world of fashion.
How? Why? What? Sorry, what is this madness?
The colour spectrum is so comprehensive that everyone has a
particular shade whether it is a pretty pastel or your basic primary colour
that they cannot get along with whether it is in fashion, home life or just in
general and for me it is red. Don’t get me wrong I love it on everyone else and
as a colour scheme for my accessories at home but when it comes to fashion it
just doesn’t have the same impact.
For me colours can represent personality and is used in
society to characterise certain objects or subjects such as; red means hot/anger/bold
and blue means cold/calm/relaxed. I am a fairly laid back individual who likes
to blend in with society, so if I wore red it is a very bold and striking
shade, plus it is quite harsh against my skin tone.

How can one’s mind be so complex? Especially with fashion,
seriously Alice what are you doing with your life? I get that it is quite an
extreme thought process to have and one you are probably screaming down your
phones or laptop screams right now, but don’t worry I am slowly adjusting to
the colour and introducing it into my wardrobe.
Towards the back end of 2017 saw the first red item welcomed
into my life and that was these gorgeous leggings with the red stripe down the
leg from Zara. This is a fab way of introducing a colour into your wardrobe by
hinting at it with a pattern or accessories; just look how gorgeous this bag
from Topshop is.
Does anyone else have this mind set when it comes to
colours?
You're right red can be a really difficult colour to wear as it doesn't always compliment skin tones. I love this pop of red on you though! x
