Ravishing Red

IMG_3315

 

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!)

      Hi 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

    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!

    Redheads 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.

    You’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.

    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.
