I’m really into red right now. After looking at some old photos, I realized that this color suits me well, so I’ve decided to wear it more often. Red is such a versatile color that it works all year long. I’m already planning my winter wardrobe for my ski holiday in December, and red will play a significant role!
Why Women Over 40 Benefit from Colors
As we get older, our skin tends to get paler and gray hair starts to show. Adding colors to your wardrobe can really give your appearance a fresh and vibrant boost. I’ve become more mindful of this and am making a conscious effort to include more colors in what I wear.
Embracing My Curves
This outfit also highlights some curves. For a long time, I stayed away from tight dresses because of my pear shape and saddle bags. But recently, I’ve started embracing this look. It accentuates the curves I do have, and I’m more comfortable showing them now. I bought this dress a while back to wear as a top over pants. Red is a color I always love, and the paisley print is timeless. This piece is perfect for adding both color and prints to my collection. I know I’ll find many ways to wear this dress or tunic top. Now, all I need is one of the glamorous red lipsticks that Heather reviewed, and I’ll be all set!
Creating a Vertical Line
What’s great about this outfit is its versatility. You can wear the dress alone or pair it with a cardigan, like this red one. Wearing the cardigan open creates a vertical line, which makes you look taller. This trick is handy if you’re on the shorter side or want to divert attention from any extra weight.
Finding the Right Proportions
You can also tie this cardigan in a knot. I tied it quite high to split the body into flattering proportions. It’s crucial not to split your body into equal halves, as it can be unflattering.
So, there you have it—a dash of color and some prints. If you’re curious about other stylish looks, check out Visible Monday for inspiration from some fantastic ladies.
