Blog Series - Curves around the World - Curvy Plus size Outfits - WEEK #12 RED

curvy / plus size outfit - red

It's that time again! The theme this week is 'RED'. Red can be worn in so many different ways either full on red like my lace red dress post  which is a dressed up look where I had red lipstick and a striking wine red dress or it can be worn casually like in this post where I had red detail on my Converse, in my scarf and a muted red marl top. Definitely check those posts out for other ways to wear red and different looks. This week I decided for a smart casual look that was simple and classic.

I based the outfit around this red top which I got a few years ago from Dorothy Perkins. I love the detail on the neck which really makes the top and it's definitely different and pretty. (You can see this better in later photos).

As for the rest of the outfit I wore a black soft jersey jacket, black jeggings and black leather ballet pumps. Nothing fussy, just classic. Accessories wise I also kept things simple. I wore gold hoops and a gold bangle stack. I love gold and red together and against black they really pop and totally compliment each other.

If you're going to do a red theme, then a girl's gotta do it right and really go with it. With that in mind I used a red lipstick and did my nails red to match the top. My lipstick is my old favourite Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple and my nail varnish is a new favourite in Red Passion by MaxFactor, a true bright classic red, which I got free recently.

I love the colour red, it's a very English colour, and  I think it's a colour that suits me. I really want to pick up more for my wardrobe. I wear it a lot on my nails and red lipstick quite a bit. I have also been on the lookout for a new red handbag so watch this space on that one!
