For a while now, I have had a mild obsession with the color RED. So, when I saw this RED cape dress, I was smitten by its perfection. It was in my cart immediately and purchased the next day.
The model of classic beauty, Audrey Hepburn, states: “There is a shade of RED for every woman.”
When I started planning my daughter’s art themed birthday party yesterday, I stumbled upon some fun facts {on Pinterest of course} about what each color symbolizes. I thought this was so interesting especially since I have been sticking with my same favorite colors: red, gray, blush, and the basic neutral colors.
SO:
“The color RED: the single most dynamic and passionate color, symbolizes LOVE, courage. RED has great emotional impact. You love big. When choosing RED, it portrays that you are a natural born leader. You lead with optimism. Those who select RED exude powerful energy. And, desire to live life to the fullest.”
I will not argue with that statement. It does bare some truth. Well, I decided to go ahead and share my top four RED purchases from this past month since I’m on the subject of RED.
Here’s the RED CAPE DRESS that I wore on the cruise:
I find that this cape dress is flattering on any body type. I do love that the arm flaps cover the top part of my arms perfectly.
I do recall singing a song by Petra at a high school arts festival with a few of my friends. My part was to sing this stanza:
“Red is the color of the blood that flowed down the face of someone who loved us so.
He’s the perfect man, He’s the Lord’s own Son. He’s the Lamb of God, He’s the only One that can give us life, that can make us grow that can make the love between us flow.”
Apparently, I have had a heart connection with the color red. It goes way back to my younger years.
Onto my next three purchases that I do not regret:
Steve Madden dupes for under $35 {I do love the style and the heel. They are more doable for all day wear because of that chunky heel.}
Chloe dupe for under $25: RIMMEL long lasting red lipstick #111 {less than $8}:
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. I do hope that you have a lovely weekend. By the way, what color is your latest obsession?? I’d love to know.
XOXO,
