Red my closet**

"When in doubt, wear red." Bill Blass
Although I don't wear it often (well this past week I wore red twice), when I do wear red I feel like a vixen - as though I can sign contracts, shake hands and kiss babies.

 Experts say this colour is an instant confidence booster and adding a touch of red to any outfit immediately draws people to you...well theoretically speaking. 

I recently wore a red crop top on a night out where well-known musicians were performing and happened to spend some time with them the next afternoon. While at this "hang-out", one of the artists asked if I had gone out the previous night and I confirmed. His eager response? "Oh yes, of course, you were wearing that red number."  **Boom**
So apparently when you wear red you don't even need to speak to someone for them to remember how much of a flame you are.

Finer Details**


You should know by now that my fashion mantra is "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistcation," which is why I don't beieve in over-accessorising or throwing in too many trends in one ensemble. Now add to that the old adage, "the devil is in the details," - I always find that it's usually one item that arouses conversation/compliments and that ultimately makes the look a winner. 

In the look below it was the gold "leather" pants that made the statement; hence I paired it with neutrals. 
What would you pair yours with? #GoldBottoms
Neutrals: Fringed Bolero - FATE @ Stuttafords
White Tee - Supre @ Cotton On
Gold leather pants - Sissy Boy
Reflectors - Mr Price

More finer details: The fringed bolero added a boho feel to this look, so I found it appropriate to plait my braids. Yes, hair can contribute a great deal to how you say, "This is who I am today."
