Cherry red

Posted on March 5, 2016 by stylepointofview

C. likes cherry red. I am not entirely sure I do, but, I am going to try. I also don’t know whether C. likes “ripe cherry” red or “not so ripe cherry” red…. I know I prefer the deeper red, out of the two. The “Vignola” type, which of course you have no idea what it is, but C. does, as she lives not far from Vignola (place where they grow fantastic cherries!!).

If I had to consider wearing cherry red, I would probably go for accessories. If I had to choose clothes in that colour I would invest in something quite expensive. Because, the trouble with this colour, is that it looks cheap very easily, that’s why I would go for really nice material first of all and then cut too. I also would prefer the material to be light-weight or see-through. I would perhaps wear a pair of jeans, providing I am at the sea-side, possibly bare-foot along the beach at night… A dress could be nice, very simple and austere, not sure about a skirt though…

I also like it worn with very few colours: light grey, greyish brown or khaki, a little white. I am tempted to add a brownish/pink shade of orange, but only very little of it and with three colours in the outfit.

I seem to be wearing a lot of black lately (surprise, surprise!! …not really), even more so then usual. I get into this cycle when I am bored with my clothes and then I start going “plain and safe”(sometimes called minimal !?)… Don’t get me wrong, I still like most things I own, I am just fed up with wearing them, I need a break…

: KIOMI THE LONG CASHMERE CARDIGAN black

: & Other Stories WOOL-BLEND DRESS black

Today I am very black, black dress, black cardigan, black tights (yes, tights, I know it looks much better without but I am really not going to freeze to death because I would look better with bare legs!!). I feel comfy and I like it, ballet-flats-anything-but-boring-406-cover but I don’t love it, it’s just a little, well, unexciting.

That’s when I thought I ought to add something that is (exciting). I have decided on a pair of shoes.

Whether those be a pair of coloured ones or something unusual, they must have personality! The above ones are gorgeous but far too expensive, here are some we can afford though:

All three of them great colours in their own right, but rather nice together too, I find. Here’s a picture of the famous Irina of “A portable package” wearing them:
