Earlier this month, we debated if the colour red is a neutral?  The response from you was a toss up, 50% agreed that red is a neutral, and the other 50% said no.  The reason why I have a hang-up with believing that red is a neutral is because when I think of the popular pairings, it always leads back to a holiday.  Red and green (Christmas), red and white/pink (Valentine's day), red and blue (Independence day).  Maybe I have to try pairing red with patterns rather than solid colours?  I'll start with leopard...now that's a neutral!

  3. Red and leopard is definitely a winning combo. I am kind of on the fence about red being a neutral. Although I do like paired with turqouise and also purple without looking like a holiday, ha ha! Heather

  4. Yes I have to agree, red really is a neutral! Those pants of yours look familiar, love how you've paired it with those wedges.

  6. Love this outfit. For some reason I really like the "rocker" look on you, you just look amazing and the animal print too. I couldn't pull off such a look ^^ I really liked the red detail, just fantastic. xx

  22. I have to say I'm with you I don't think red is a neutral a primary color for sure but a neutral nah. Now leopard yes! Leopard makes anything fabulous and pairing it up with a bit of red makes it pop ;)

  40. "What I need is a red belt"

    That's the punch line to an old joke. I forget what I said before, but I have to go with you--that red isn't neutral. If I was buying a house and asked the seller to paint the walls a neutral color, I'd be seeing red if he chose red. :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. The red belt looks great with leopard...but I surely don't think of it as a neutral. While it can be paired with so many colors and patterns, I always use it to add a not so neutral pop of color.

  58. Love the leopard print top and shoes! I used to think red was more of a neutral than animal print, but I think lately I've been so obsessed with the latest that I don't mind considering it a neutral too! I'm just catching up with your latest posts as I've been a bit busy; you look fabulous, as always!

  61. red and leopard make a neutral pair? hehe, yeah right!
    ..or it depends actually how bright and big those red and leopard pieces are. your outfit looks all nice and neutral, a classy autumn ensemble. obviously I like it because red and leopard are something I just love.

  65. I've actually never though of red that way (with holidays) - for me it always reminds me of a Target employee, which is basically my Christmas so it all works :) Looking quite fierce in this leopard top!

  66. Love the booties and jacket. Red is not a colour I wear often. Although I do have red accessories i.e belt,shoes,clutch and 1 red undie set!
    I would love a red dress but it would have to be a classic style.
