It's such a happy, charming color. It looks like you have some great additions to your existing red pieces. Would love to see these in outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-a-new-colour-into-my-wardrobe---inspired-by-angie#post-1851565 Sun, 08 Oct 2017 01:49:25 +0000 Bijou 1851565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Runcarla</b> - that is a lovely thing to say. I think I am drawn to red because it was a colour that my Mother loved to wear and since her death in May, I have found myself drawn to wearing more clothing that I know that she would have liked.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-a-new-colour-into-my-wardrobe---inspired-by-angie#post-1851554 Sun, 08 Oct 2017 00:55:52 +0000 Carla 1851554@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red is such a happy colour! Not only for you, the wearer, but for folks who get to see you. I bet you will get compliments every time you wear your red items, because others will appreciate the brightness it brings to their day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-a-new-colour-into-my-wardrobe---inspired-by-angie#post-1851552 Sun, 08 Oct 2017 00:47:09 +0000 Bijou 1851552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b> - so glad you approve. I am really pleased with each piece and adding this colour has made me enjoy these purchases even more.</p> <p><b>La Pedestrienne</b> - you look beautiful in your reds.</p> <p><b>Laura G</b> - I totally agree about finding the right red can be tricky. For me finding the right colour in my bag was the hardest item to find. Often red leather is a darker blue based red.</p> <p><b>Brooklyn</b> - your new shirt sounds gorgeous and perfect for you. I may have to pay a visit to Witchery! </p> <p><b>Joy -</b>&nbsp;love the sound of your new dress and I can imagine it will be stunning on you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-a-new-colour-into-my-wardrobe---inspired-by-angie#post-1851542 Sun, 08 Oct 2017 00:26:43 +0000 Anonymous 1851542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your reds are gorgeous. Like Angie, tomato red is my best red, but there are reds for everyone. I bought a tomato red, very bright, sweater dress that I am looking forward to wearing this winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-a-new-colour-into-my-wardrobe---inspired-by-angie#post-1851518 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 22:10:36 +0000 Brooklyn 1851518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice! I notice Witchery has a lot of red at the moment too. I like red for summer. I do find it hard to mix with anything other than neutrals because it is so statement-ish. I recently got a red silk top (floral of course) from David Lawrence that I expect to wear mostly with jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-a-new-colour-into-my-wardrobe---inspired-by-angie#post-1851436 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 16:22:13 +0000 Laura G 1851436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are beautiful pieces, especially the poppies! I expect they'll have a big impact in your mostly-achromatic wardrobe.</p> <p>I'm trying to build a red capsule too, but I find it's hard to get just the right shade (for me, warm and muted), especially when shopping online. And the wrong shade of red seems to me more "wrong" than the wrong shade of, say, blue.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-a-new-colour-into-my-wardrobe---inspired-by-angie#post-1851432 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 16:01:28 +0000 LaPed 1851432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE red. That skirt is adorable. I always have a few red items on hand, mostly for winter (sweater, hat, etc) but the true cool red that I prefer can be hard to find.</p> <p>I built a mini capsule of blush and sage over the summer -- they're turning out to be great transitional fall colours too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-a-new-colour-into-my-wardrobe---inspired-by-angie#post-1851428 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 15:45:03 +0000 Angie 1851428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOOOHOOO. (Huge tomato red fan here).&nbsp;</p> <p><b>LOVE.</b> Lets see some of the pieces in action.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-a-new-colour-into-my-wardrobe---inspired-by-angie#post-1851412 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 14:50:30 +0000 Bijou 1851412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Rachy</b> - as a child I loved clothes too, so I think it must be something that we are either drawn to or not.</p> <p><b>JenniNZ</b> - I can see you in these vibrant colours!</p> <p><b>Lisa p</b> - I hope you find your right red. For me, this vibrant red works best, dark red and burgundy is a beautiful colour, but it is too severe on me.</p> <p><b>kkards</b> - A red bag has been on my list for a while, so I was thrilled when I found this one! I also like the skirt because an all red skirt would feel a bit much for me, but the poppies are a fun splash of red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-a-new-colour-into-my-wardrobe---inspired-by-angie#post-1851409 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 13:41:11 +0000 kkards 1851409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>another red lover who owns none<br />love the pieces soon, especially the bag! and the denim skirt is pretty special, and i can totally see you in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-a-new-colour-into-my-wardrobe---inspired-by-angie#post-1851400 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 12:59:56 +0000 Anonymous 1851400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are lovely pieces - looking forward to seeing what you do with them! I personally never know what to do with red - I have a difficult time getting the right shade.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-a-new-colour-into-my-wardrobe---inspired-by-angie#post-1851372 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 08:35:27 +0000 Jenni NZ 1851372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So beautiful Bijou! I especially love the skirt because poppies! I would like to see my DD1 in that skirt, it would look perfect on her. I agree with you that orange and red can cross over at times, I have done that too. Also I like Rachylou's idea of a Little Red Capsule. That sounds like something the Little Red Hen should wear x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-a-new-colour-into-my-wardrobe---inspired-by-angie#post-1851370 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 07:25:10 +0000 rachylou 1851370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I think this is so charming - A Little Red Capsule. The first book I ever read by myself - as in figured out letters, words and sentences - was called Ann Likes Red. She had a red hat, red shoes, red dress, and red purse... Lol! You can see where it all went wrong, right from the very beginning... it's always been about the clothes... Hahaha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/adding-a-new-colour-into-my-wardrobe---inspired-by-angie#post-1851368 Sat, 07 Oct 2017 06:26:59 +0000 Bijou 1851368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have decided to add some red into my wardrobe. Red is a colour that I love and so I was surprised to find how little I actually had, especially for warmer weather. I do own a red pea coat and jumper, so it is not an entirely 'new' colour for me. I have some red sandals, that I think I will wear more because I have some items that will co-ordinate with them.</p> <p>I bought this little red capsule, which I am enjoying, as it works well with all the denim, black, white and blue that I own.</p> <p>Sometimes it is fun to focus on a particular colour and deliberately add it into the mix. I was inspired by how well Angie integrated olive into her wardrobe, so that has been the aim with my new red acquisitions.</p> <p>Bag - Samantha Thavasa (Japanese designer, bought in Singapore)<br />Denim skirt - Kate Spade New York<br />Orange top (OK - not red, but works with the skirt and bag) - Cue (Australian designer)<br />Red georgette shirt - Cue </p>
