Party like a Redhead

It's time to sparkle and shine, glimmer and shimmer. It's time to take those sparkly dresses out of the closet, add a feather skirt and shimmery stilettos, because the holiday season it's officially here and you can shine bright like a diamond. But if you are a Redhead, you have another accessory to add to your holiday rotation that will help you shine - your beautiful red hair. So pick colors that will accentuate the redness of your mane and make your red hair your statement piece.

Purple


Redheads in purple are a classic combination. Pick a stylish dress and add simple black accessories, let your hair shine. Dress is from New Look (get it HERE) or similar from ModCloth HERE.

Royal Blue

Sparkle and shine! Sparkle and shine! The royal blue and golden combo is not for everyone, but I will guarantee you will get noticed. Mango has plenty of similar royal blue tops (for shy Redheads the color will also work with combination with jeans or black pants) HERE and HERE. For golden brocade pants head over to Macy's for THIS pair or if you feel like making an investment, try The Outnet. The biggest selection of affordable shoes is of course at GoJane, so try THESE embellished velvet beauties.

Emerald Green

Another great color for Redheads is of course green! Marking the opposite on the color wheel, all shades and hints of green will always complement red hair. To make it festive, dark, deep, emerald green will look simply stunning on every Redhead. You can wear green all year long, but there is something about the combination of green and red that says Christmas. THESE cap toe pumps will be great for a regular day in the office after the party season is over. For the gorgeous emerald green dress, try a silky Etsy number HERE or THIS strapless piece from ModCloth. Buy the clutch from H&M HERE.

Black & White

Basic black and white dress will get you a long way, especially in the holiday season. Forever 21 has an adorable one HERE and you can combine it in many different ways. So why not have fun with lime green accessories? Buy the watch from Target HERE. Or add red shoes and red bracelet, yellow, hot pink or any other color of your choice. Black and White is a great neutral background for every color of your choice.

XOXO,

Redhead meets Santa Claus

Christmas season is officially here! Thanksgiving behind us, crazy Black Friday underway - this is the first step towards a shimmering Christmas tree, smell of hot chocolate and pine cones and the unforgettable magic of the most beautiful holiday of them all.
Sounds a little sappy? Yeah, I really love Christmas!

So what does a Redhead wear during the holiday season full of parties? Of course she does wear red! 
Amy Childs is no fading flower in her tomato red dress matching Santa's outfit. 
  
Amy's trademark red hair is looking gorgeous. 

XOXO,

The Best Skirt

Sometimes you just see something amazing and you have to have it, no matter how wild or crazy it looks. Just like my skirt. It's colorful! It has houses! It has flowers!
And it was one dollar.
My local Goodwill is often organizing "dollar days", where everything is a dollar. Tops, bottoms, skirts, coats... And this amazing skirt was a part of the deal.
It's a little bigger than it should have, I imagine it's supposed to sit on my waist instead of my hips. But wouldn't you get it for a dollar?


Skirt: Thrifted
Shirt: H&M
Necklace: Charles Klein (from Burlington)
Shoes: Fioni from Payless

XOXO,
The European Redhead
