Red is my favorite color (though you'd never know it with all the black and neutrals that I wear). To me, a bold red represents vitality and confidence, and even as an accent color (like on finger nails or an evening clutch) it adds that much needed punch. Today, however, I'm pulling out all the stops with fire engine red pants! I don't own too many garments this bright and bold, but they're great to keep on hand for oh, I don't know ... that random 75 degree October day when you feel like stoppin' some traffic.
