Red is an emotionally charged color and is always good to wear when you don't wish to sink into the background. It only takes a small pop of red in decor to create a strong impact. Grey is a great companion and is proof that opposites attract. Calming grey flatters, but allows red to take center stage. This dynamic reminds me of many couples I know. One partner is more outgoing, charismatic, humorous or simply just full of themselves! The other partner may be more of an intellect and quiet by nature, uncomfortable with being the center of attention, happy to just sit back and observe the antics of their significant other. Somehow, it just works. Balance is a beautiful thing.
What color do you reach for when you want to stand out in the crowd? Do you know any couples like the ones I described? Perhaps you yourself are in a similar relationship. If so, what role do you play?
Love red....I think its a power color, lol...more like give me the power to NOT buy every red thing I see, hahahaha

Ah yes, red with GRAY is what I can do. For me, RED in the décor is too much. I am affected by it and it makes me nervous!!! But red is a great color to wear when you need to WORK and zip around the hallways like I do!!!! I have an ABERCROMBIE red jacket that looks great with gray pants. HAVE FUN MY FRIEND! Anita
ReplyDeleteLove the last photo of an original Fiat 500! Loving wearing red lipsticks right now xoxo

I love to wear red because I know I will stand out in a sea of black, ok this sounds a little narcissistic.
ReplyDelete"Balance is a beautiful thing" Yes! In all things not just color!! I love gray and red together...red is a power color and is so beautiful when styled with gray, brown, and deep greens...love it!!
ReplyDeleteI love red at the moment and yet for years I loathed it.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! :)
ReplyDeleteDebby,
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite of your posts! I do love red, but find that over the years I've shied away. Not sure why. Pairing it with gray is a brilliant idea - one bold, one subdued.
And, yes...a great comparison to couples. Balance is a funny thing and I think we seek it even when we don't realize it.
Speaking of gray....that's what it is here today. This brightened my day!!

Balance really is a beautiful thing. My husband and I are a little that way (though neither of us is full of themselves). I love gray and red, and red or pink would be a color to go to if I wanted to stand out a little bit or was feeling a little bolder than usual.
ReplyDeleteIts very gray this way today..so red might be a great choice!
Enjoy your day Debby...
I'm definitely the red one in my relationship. ;) I love how you've demonstrated that red can be powerful or just a refreshing pop in certain pairings. That red coat in the first pic is wonderful. And I am loving tall textured socks with boots right now! Such a great fall/winter look and inherently cozy.
ReplyDeleteLoving that red Fiat! I used to have quite a bit of red in my home but it has slowly dwindled. I still love it though. My wardrobe is much more subdued - I guess I just don't like all the attention. So, I would say I'm the grey person and my guy is the red :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I just love all those touches of red - so chic!

Oh YES! Red and gray is a truly stunning palette.
ReplyDeletethat red coat ... sigh!
ReplyDeleteI think we both play that part, i.e. we share it. Sometimes I like being in the background and sometimes I like to shine ;-)
Haha! This is so me and my husband! I am the performer (dancer) and he is the brain (physicist). So funny!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore that first photo. ADORE!
Aw yes.. a touch of red certainly brings life to one's day!!! I would say I'm in the background while the Mr. is more out there. Happy Thursday my friend.xo HHL
ReplyDeleteGreat minds think alike. I have the last images on my desktop, and that bed is to die for! Love the red coat. OK, I love it all.

Always reach for a red to brighten days!

I want to slip into those boot socks and boots, throw on that coat and drive away in that car to that bedroom!!!!
ReplyDeletebrett
Agree. Red is an emotional color. I like the color combo(red + grey) a lot.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! Love love love this gogeous red equestrian outfit!!!

I so love that color combo. And I wear it often in fact. The other day I wore my new Love Quotes red scarf and my grey knee high socks :)
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a good week and hope you don't get any sicker! xoxo
"don't want to sink into the background" love that!
ReplyDeleteLove Grey with anything.
Have a pretty day!

Love the beautiful red coat! It's gorgeous and I love the gold buttons :)
ReplyDeleteGray and black is a wonderful combination! I don't wear red often....maybe Christmas and Valentine's Day but when I am feeling a little more bold I love a bright red pop of color in my favorite red lipstick. I think red is a classy color. I need to go in search of those textured gray socks for my boots. Love those!
ReplyDeleteyou're so right debby! opposites attract! that's why i love pairing purple dresses with major gold jewelry together when i feel like breaking the norm(; and the same does go for couples! one way to prove it is to think, what would it be like if i dated someone just like me?? that answer is scary for most people!
ReplyDeletei love your ever inspiring pictures!
glitteringly and positively, raeshelle!
Bella la foto delle calze
