"When in doubt, wear red."

If, for some inexplicable reason, I was to wake up tomorrow and be obliged to wear nothing but red for the rest of my existence, I would live a happy life. It would probably look something like this:



Artists can color the sky red because they know it's blue. Those of us who aren't artists must color things the way they really are or people might think we're stupid.

Could you pick just one colour to wear every single day? There's a great New York Magazine article about five different people who do, including my favourite Mr. Morose himself, Stephin Merritt.

I could wear black and polka dots forever and ever as you weel know from yesterday's shopping excursion. Thanks for keeping me entertained all day at work!

I was just wondering today what it would look like if I wore my red dress with red tights and red shoes and a red bag lol! Red is my favourite colour but I couldn't wear it every day...well I suppose I do in terms of lipstick. Regardless, I could never restrict myself to one tone, I like my contrast :)

If I have no choice and forced to live in just one color, I would choose white. It just make me feel instantly better whenever I put a white tshirt or a white dress!

I'd live in grey forever if I was forced to... It's such a beautifully sophisicated colour

I don't think I could ever pick just a color, though red is a huge staple in my wardrobe...

Red is ace. Pick a new red lipstick and you'll see your entire wardrobe in an entirely different light.

Red is the only colour I CANNOT wear. It sucks the life out of me.
