Red has got to be hands down the colour of the season. It was the key colour coming down the catwalks and a colour I had always been scared of until now.
Previously the only red I would go near was a red lipstick for occasions such as Christmas parties and new year or the occasional burgundy item. With red-to-toe looks all over the high street this season I decided to push myself out of my comfort zone and try something new and in my eyes daring.
Now I saw this jumper on ASOS from Vero Moda and just fell in love. Like big love heart eyes in love. The turtleneck and the stitching detail had me sold and it was a total bargain at just £20! Yes you read that right, just £20. Vero Moda have a really amazing selection of jumpers available on ASOS at the moment with all of my favourites coming in at less than £36, links below. This gorgeous jumper also comes in Khaki and Pink too but in all honesty the red is where it's at.
I decided to team my new favourite jumper with some black skinny coated jeans with a leather look and these insane Primark mules which are a total dupe of the Chanel mules. These babies are a steal at just £13 and are amazingly comfortable.
I have to confess the look was inspired by my lovely mum. There is a photograph of her back when I was in primary school rocking a red knit and leather trousers and she looked amazing and that photograph, while not in a frame, has stayed with me ever since.
How are you embracing red for the season? I'd love to know. I now sneakily have my eye on some gorgeous red sock boots.
