My go to dress is always a LRD (Little Red Dress). Yes most people are used to the classic LBD (Little Black Dress), which I have plenty of as well, but sometimes you have to be a little more subtle then a fire engine red dress. There is something so powerful though when you find your go to color, in this case mine being red (I think y’all have caught on by now?). When you find a color that you always feel confident in, its a smart bet to invest in some pieces that you can put on no questions asked, and walk out the door feeling your best. I challenge you to analyze your wardrobe or see what color you catch yourself wearing the most in a given week or month. Your mind is drawn to this color triggering an easy throw on option in your day to day life. Once you find this common ground, you can invest in pieces that you can wear on many occasions, whether that be to work, a wedding or a night on the town!
My red dress obsession started when I decided each Christmas Eve I would make it a tradition to wear a red dress. Some people are thrown for a loop when they see how many of these numbers I have hanging in my closet. I don’t wear these dresses only on Christmas Eve but it sure does make a good excuse in getting a new dress each year! Im obsessed with my newest red lace dress that truly is perfect for any season. You can layer and add a jacket or scarf in the winter, or wear in the spring bare shoulders. What’s even more fantastic is that it comes in a ton of colors each season and is such a classic silhouette that it would be the perfect piece to test the waters in finding your power color!
Things to remember when finding your power color:
- Survey your closet and see what color you have the most of, this is a sign that you are drawn to this color when shopping
- Play around with the colors in your wardrobe for a week/month and see what color you gravitate the most too
- Based on that research, How do you feel when you are wearing this color? Do you feel your most confident?
- Don’t feel discouraged when searching for this color connection. It is a fun experiment finding that color that makes you feel like you can take on the world!
I cant wait to hear what yall’s power colors are, and the journey you take to finding it! Dont feel forced in finding that color either, take note when people are complimenting your look, your lipstick shade etc. These compliments usually measure up to the confidence you are showing the world in that moment!
