The contemporary little red riding hood or how to make a steatement wearing an almost head-to-toe red outfit.

Today I am going to share some tips on how to pull off a monochromatic outfit. I know, mine isn’t entirely an all red outfit. That’s only because I don’t own a pair of red shoes. Well, actually that’s a lie. I own a pair of red sneakers that I have purchased from Primark a few years ago. Bought them when I first visited London, about 3-4 years ago. Damn, I miss those times. Well, point is, I don’t wear those sneakers anymore, else the shoes would have been red as well. Recently I was asked in an interview what’s my favourite color, can you guess the answer? Red, obvious. I have a thing for this color, it has always attracted me. Now you can probably understand why I tend to use red lipstick in almost all the pictures.

Back to the monochromatic outfits, some can be easy to pull off, but when it comes to sharper tones as red, things are geting nasty. Monochromatic outfits can be sharp and classy at the same time. Take the all black dressing example, and try to replace the color with camel, grey or what other color you love the most. My recommendation would be to start with white or neutral shades for a clean look. The second tip is: be brave and play with textures. Layer, add depth to your outfit, don’t be scared of failing. Confidence is the key!
As for my outfit, it made a lot of heads turn around, but I loved it. I felt like an urban little red riding hood, and it was great! The red outfit was super casual and semi-formal, perfect for the unstable spring weather. If you want to be the main focus at the office, then you should go for something similar. After the work hours you can also meet your friends for drinks in the same outfit. It gets you through the entire day. For a night out you only need to replace the shoes with a pair of stilettos and you’re good to go. What’s your favorite color? ♥

RO: Scufita rosie contemporana, sau cum puteti atrage atentia cu o tinuta de culoarea rosie. Astazi va voi impartasi cateva sfaturi legate de tinutele monocromatice. Stiu ca tinuta mea nu este in totalitate rosie, insa nu detin nicio pereche de pantofi rosii. V-am pacalit de fapt. Am o pereche de tenesi rosii pe care i-am cumparat din Primark acum cativa ani. I-am achizitionat in urma cu 3-4 ani, cand am vizitat Londra pentru prima data. Ideea este ca nu mai port acei tenesi, altfel tinuta ar fi fost monocromatica in totalitate. Stiu ca sar de la una la alta, insa, de curand am fost intrebata intr-un interviu care este culoare mea preferata. Puteti ghicii? Rosu, normal. Acum puteti intelege de ce folosesc ruj rosu in aproape toate pozele.
Inapoi la tinutele monocromatice, unele pot fi usor de realizat, dar cand vine vorba de culori mai puternice, se schimba datele problemei. Tinutele de acest gen au un aer aparte si de asemenea sunt foarte elegante. Puteti lua exemplul tinutelor all black. Inlocuiti negrul cu maro, gri, sau orice alta culoare preferati. V-as recomanda sa incepeti cu nuante neutre pentru un look cat mai curat. Al doilea sfat este sa fiti indraznete si sa va jucati cu diverse texturi. Cat despre tinuta mea, va pot spune ca a intors multe capete. M-am simtit precum o scufita rosie urbana, insa chiar mi-a placut. Aceasta tinuta a fost una casual si semi-formala, perfecta pentru vremea instabila de primavara. Daca va doriti sa atrageti atentia si prin tinuta la locul de munca, atunci puteti incerca un look similar. Dupa program puteti folosi aceeasi tinuta pentru a va vedea cu prietenii. In mare parte, acest tip de tinuta este bun pentru intreaga zi. Pentru iesirea de seara trebuie doar sa va schimbati pantofii cu o pereche de pantofi cu toc si sunteti gata de plecare. Sper sa va placa! Care este culoarea voastra preferata? ♥
