How to rock a red outfit, when you always wear black

Red is one of the trend colours of this spring and summer, but how to rock it? Well the only red thing I had in my closet was a pair of pretty old espadrilles. Now I also have to tell you that I don’t like the colour red at all. But you know, nothing is as changeable as a woman. And especially if her name is Nancy. I was actually motivated to try out a red look by this article, click through to the Fancy Friday Favorite. I fell in love instantly. But if I’m not quite sure whether I will wear a piece of clothing often enough, or if something is very trendy, I buy it secondhand.

New red jumper, oh no NOT!

And I had already seen a beautiful red pleated skirt on Vinted in red. Finally, after a few weeks of hesitation, I bought it. And fortunately it is a beautiful skirt, like new. But how to rock it? For me red only looks good with pink or orange. But a monochrome red outfit is how you rock it in my eyes. So I had to look for a top, tee or jumper in red. And then it is of course quite difficult to find a top that matches well in terms of shade.

But I did find a red jumper on Vinted eventually. Not the exact same colour but more a muted shade, I like it! Sold as new and pilled everywhere. I was so pissed of as that happend the last 3 times with a jumper.

So I didn’t want to leave it at that. I didn’t want to send it back because that would have cost me as much as the sweater had cost. The seller herself thought that I was acting out and that I had been looking at it with a magnifying glass and even called me a fraudster. I could let it slide off my back wonderfully easily, because I didn’t feel like worrying about a €6 red jumper. And I told her that I felt sorry for her. Finished. I got a device to remove the pilled areas and put it out of my mind that it is not new. Moving on.

How I rock red, at least in my eyes……

So, a totall monochrome red look! With red earrings and a multi coloured statement ring to break the look a bit. I don’t think I would wear this outfit together a lot, I like the skirt better with a pink blouse or black I think. But I think I can rock a red outfit! I even like red a hole lot more now.
