21 Jul Ravishing Red
Hello Ladies!
I don’t know where the idea came from, that red heads shouldn’t wear red. I tend to disagree. Perhaps the shade of red should be considered, as the orangy red may not be as flattering on fair skin tones, but I love a rich red in both clothes and cosmetics. This dress is one that I take out when the weather is about high 90s! Woah, that is what it has been here. It is one thing when it is that hot, but when the humidity matches, and you walk out of your house feeling like the heat can be cut through, then you know it is too hot.
.
The background of my photos is taken behind out house, as the development itself has a wonderful nature trail about 1.5 miles in length. My pups and I love to walk this trail, and they also get a chance to get off their leases and run like the wind!! My little fur boy, has a terrier “girlfriend” we tease him about, as she is a large dog that likes to run back and forth mirroring each other along a fence. They look for each other, it is funny!. The county just cleared the way for a greenway right in our backyard, so we have an additional 2 miles to walk. It almost feels like I am walking in the woods. My pups went out with my husband yesterday on the extended trail, and boy! did he tire them out. They both came back laying on their sides!
It really is lovely in the fall with the change in leaves and cool air in the morning, being able to take a walk on this trail Are you a walker? Do you like the outdoors, or would you rather exercise at a gym?
Do you think red heads should wear red? If so, why? ( and who makes up these silly “rules” anyway!)
Victoria’s Secret dress ( a few years ago), Sandals: Sofft ( similar) Necklace: Sole Society, ( yes, I had to show it again), Handbag: Rebecca Minkoff*( similar)

Sabrina Kwan (@sincerelysab)
Posted at 00:01h, 23 JulyYou are rocking the red on red! I think it’s a great colour on you, especially considering your skin tone. I think that’s the only instance I don’t wear a colour…when it makes my skin look tired.
Sincerely,
Sabrina

Monika
Posted at 11:48h, 22 JulyHi dear friend,
the red dress with this georgeous necklace looks wonderful. I´m not sure which version is prettier, black dress or red dress, they are both amazing looks and your hairstyling today is lovely. How do you do this, when it is so humid?
Have a good day, dear Jess
Monika
Jess Jannenga
Posted at 11:56h, 22 JulyHi Monika! Thanks so much, glad you like the dresses. I love both colors, but I do love red! My hair works best with hot rollers. I do let my hair air dry mostly, do a quick blow dry and then use hot rollers, it is tough not to have it go flat when it is this hot. You too, enjoy your day!! Jess xo
Sabina @Oceanblue Style
Posted at 06:30h, 22 JulyHave always admired red on red, totally love your outfit Jess. Its my all time fave. You look fabulous.

Jess Jannenga
Posted at 07:23h, 22 JulyHi Sabina! Thanks so much, glad you like it! Wow, I would love to hike the Alps with you… My illness wouldnt let me, but it sounds amazing. I love the outdoors have always been a mountain/ woods girl

Posted at 19:03h, 21 JulyJess,
Indeed, YOU are ravishing in red. This dress really shows of that perfect figure of yours!! Love the bag, too.
I love red heads in red, but I agree there are many shades of red, and the certain shades look better. but i think this is also due to skin tone, which varies, too…
Clearly this is a great shade ofr you. I am wishing you some cooling breezes!

Reasons to Dress (@reasonstodress)
Posted at 15:45h, 21 JulyI LOVE this colour on you. I think so many of the old colour rules need to be thrown out the window. Brown and black go great together as do navy and black…and you’re right who says Redheads can’t wear read?? I love that dress, it is just stunning!
Jess Jannenga
Posted at 16:13h, 21 JulyTHanks so much! I appreciate the lovely comment. Glad you like the dress :-)) Come by anytime. xx jess
Alex
Posted at 15:11h, 21 JulyRedheads should wear anything they want 😉
But yes, in reality, some shades don’t look so good on us, infact as you suggested, orange doesn’t work that great on me. It’s merely okish, but I am getting too fussy about my look to be fine with “okay”.
Now Pink … I haven’t really had the guts to try that one, but I’ve seen some redheads pull it off fantastically.

Jess Jannenga
Posted at 15:43h, 21 JulyOh Alex, I have ALOT of pink in my wardrobe, check out some of my posts… Wednesday I may be posting a pink outfit too. Thank you for commenting too. Have a great day! jess xo

Posted at 13:29h, 21 JulyYou’re spot-on about red on redheads – it’s all about the hue. But that holds true for all of us. It’s important to figure out which shades of each color are flattering and try to build a wardrobe based on those choices. The red dress you’re wearing is an absolute knockout! In fact, my husband walked in as I was perusing your photos and said, “She’s hot”! 😉
Speaking of heat, I just can’t handle extreme heat and humidity. You will definitely find me indoors during the dog days of Summer.

Posted at 13:44h, 21 JulyAlicia Thanks so much for the compliment! You made me laugh when you said about your hubby. :-)) I am indoors when the humidty is so high, but love to be outdoors having a fancy drink in the summertime.
Have a great week, jess xo
Suzanne Carillo
Posted at 13:09h, 21 JulyI too used to believe I couldn’t wear red. I’m learning to get over that now.
This looks fabulous on you.
Since the humidity and heat are here right now I will workout indoors, but given the opportunity I will choose to be outside every time.
bisous
Suzanne
Jess Jannenga
Posted at 13:19h, 21 JulyThanks so much Suzanne! Yes there are some silly “rules”.. I appreciate the lovely comment. Yes we have high humidity, so the only time to walk the pups on the trail is early in the am or later in the day
Have a great week!

Posted at 12:37h, 21 JulyRed heads should wear shades of red with confidence! The colour looks fabulous on you.
We had two hot days this weekend but a temperature drop and rain forced me to wear trousers and a jacket again today. So much looking forward to more sunshine and real summer weather.
As I live on the countryside surrounded by mountains, fields and trails I try to be outside as much as I can!
Have a wonderful day, Jess!
