Red!

Any one who knows me, knows I love the color red.

 In fact, my American Legion Riders nickname is "RED." 

My motorcycle is red.

My car is red. 


I own a red blazer.

My hair is still a little bit red.

My skirt is red.


 And my jeans are red.
 
I have no idea how or when I became so enamored with the color. As you can see though, I have a lot of it.  When Old Navy came out with their Rock Star skinnies in red I was afraid; very afraid to be drawn to this shade of red. It's more of an orange red; that color scares me.  Because it is so bright, I didn't want to wear it, nor did I think I could wear it. After trying it I decided it's not so bad.  The challenge was to find something to pair it with.  Yesterday I paired the color with gray and today I found a thrifted lightweight Tommy Hilfiger sweater with orange trim that seems to go well with the knit skirt and Rock Star skinnies. I also have a pair of denim shorts in red that would be great for running errands.  And on a day like today, overcast and cloudy, the sweater fits right in.
