red
Ah red nail polish. A love of mine that can never be tarnished. Like coffee and Vogue. Bright red, orangey-red, brick red, you name it I have a shade of it. What's funny is that O.P.I is known for their red nail polishes, yet I didn't choose one that is "iconic" like Big Apple Red or I'm Not Really A Waitress. Probably because those are such staple O.P.I colors and I do respect them, but there are a few other red nail polishes I have lost sleep wondering whether a salon had them.

When I was in undergrad my friends would tell me that all the clothes I bought looked the same. It was always something I thought was funny because in a way its sort of true. I tend to gravitate towards silhouettes and styles that I'm familiar with and that I know will suit my petite frame. I'd rather buy iterations of things that I would actually like then invest in trendy pieces that aren't durable.

Last October I wrote a post called Seeing Red where I realized that besides black, red is also my power color. It makes me feel strong, and motivated. Since then I have bought a handful of solid red dresses for several occasions from casual to formal. Truth be told red is universally flattering on all skin tones and can be worn all year long from the holiday season to summer.
