Paint the Town Red

I have heard it said on several occasions over the years that red has become the "new black". Though I am sure red will never have quite the long standing versatility of black, I would agree to an extent that it has almost become something of a neutral if worn properly.
Trends for silhouettes in clothing, shoes, accessories will always come and go, and the "must have" shades will change with the seasons. But throwing the right red piece into your daily mix can add fun appeal, sophistication, and even a little sexy into your wardrobe.

Red pumps - find your self a great pair of red pumps!
- Something that fits current trends for shoe shape and shade of red. You will typically see more orange or pink based reds around in spring/summer and see more deep blue-based or brown reds in the Fall/Holiday time frame.
- Keep in mind that the heal height and thickness should work well with the length of pants you most often wear and be comfortable enough for you to utilize in your every day life. If you like the added height, but are unsteady in stilettos then get something with a thinker heal for better comfort and stability.
The right pair of red pumps can be worn with jeans on the weekend for a fun spike of color, in the office during the week to add a little sass and flare to that bland suit, and thrown on with your favorite black dress for an evening out.

Red bag - Whatever style or type of bag you like to use for your daily life, try switching it out for a similar handbag in a bold, trend right shade of red. It will keep things easy and organized as you are used to. Be functional, but add a great pop of color no matter what you are doing. Running to the gym, grocery shopping, having a nice night out, or on a coffee date with the girls.

Red lipstick - Throw in a little red lipstick or gloss, and rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrar! Hello Bombshell!

Just a couple fun ideas to add some flair to your style.
