Pick Up Trick #5

Lady In Red

A few weeks ago I was invited to a university reunion and I obviously wanted to look my best. I picked out a fifties style high-waisted navy dress with a red frilly top. I curled my hair, did my makeup, and as a last minute decision I threw on some fire engine red lipstick.

I cannot tell you how much positive feedback I got from girls and guys alike. I guess the whole ensemble made me look like a pin up girl and it was turning heads.

A couple guys actually noted, "I like how your lips match your dress."  Or from some of the less articulate, simply, "Red... that's hot." Classy or not, I'll take the compliment.

So, for the rest of the summer I am keeping that ensemble and lipstick as my go-to feel good outfit. And if you are needing a night to stand out, try being the lady in red for size.
