Stylish Monday Link Up: Ladies in Red
Ladies, welcome to the first Monday in February! Do you enjoy wearing red? Do you know the color psychology behind wearing red?
What does wearing Red mean?
Fashion designer Bill Blass has been known to say, “Whenever in doubt, wear red.”
The color red exudes power, energy, excitement, and passion. Studies show that the color red can create physical effects such as elevated blood pressure, enhanced libido, increased respiratory rates, enhanced metabolism, increased enthusiasm, higher levels of energy, and increased confidence.
Red symbolizes power and position. Wear red when you want to be assertive, or need to feel in control of a situation. It works perfectly for job attires highlighting the leadership and enthusiasm. The color red is a highly visible color that is able to focus attention quickly and get people to make quick decisions. Men wear power ties that are red as a symbol of power. In medieval times the wealthy and clergy were the only ones allowed to wear red as a symbol of their position. We roll out the Red carpet for celebrities and VIPs at events.
Red is also the color of my personality which I wrote about last year.
Many of us enjoy wearing red as the color symbolizing love and passion. Red is the most powerful color to wear to attract someone. Red is often associated with sexiness and we often view women wearing red as more sexually attractive.
If you are wondering why we wear Red in February, the American Heart Association is now bringing awareness to women’s heart health awareness.
Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women, taking more lives than all forms of cancer combined. Someone you know and love may be affected – at any age. Heart disease and stroke claim the lives of 1 in 3 women – a third of our mothers, sisters, and friends. It’s time to change this fact.
And, of course, it’s bold and beautiful.
How does wearing red make you feel my friends? Do you feel sexier or full of energy when you wear red?
Let’s meet the Ladies in Red!

Just seeing all these awesome RED pieces makes me feel GOOD! It’s amazing what colors can do for our mood or just what they bring out in us! I don’t wear red often, but I do feel good when I do!
Love red and all the ladies wearing it are very stylish. Liking it with leopard print too. x Jacqui Mummabstylish

Hi Robin…I have just had a colour analysis which I will be writing about soon and we were discussing the powerful colours. So interesting. Luckily I can wear red….I love the colour. LOVE your different outfits. xxxx
Hilda,
I think you look terrific in red!
I can’t read the results of your color analysis!
Hugs,
Robin
Such a fun collaboration! I love seeing all the ways everyone put their own spin on wearing red. I love that you talk about the strong emotion that red can evoke! Looking forward to next month’s theme!
Julie,
You always look fabulous and I love how you combined pink and red for this style challenge. Maybe we’ll be wearing green for March!
Hugs,
Robin
Hi Robin!
I wrote you great minds.. we both were thinking of red with leopard, one of my fav combos! I love the pencil skirt on you, and that red cape in your other outfit is fantastic! II mentioend my bro, sis and Dad all had/have A-Fib, so it is so important to take care of your health.
Can you make my blog link an active link, you just have the URL there.
Thanks!
Have a wonderful week!

Jess,
Yes, I have corrected all of the links. Your Monday post is now linked.
We have a family member with heart issues so it’s doubly important we take good care of our hearts.
Love your outfit today! You always look fabulous!
Hugs,
Robin
Robin, red looks magnificent on you! I am a huge fan of red myself, but I don’t wear it often enough. I need to change that because it definitely does make a very powerful statement. And February is the month to wear it, for sure! I love color interpretation as well so this post was very fascinating. One thing I read a long time which was super interesting is that red can also make us hungry (I guess that is the part you mentioned about it boosting metabolism, maybe) and so a lot of restaurants use red in their decor to get you to order and eat more!

Shelbee,
Yes red is a warm color that causes excitement, increases our heart rate, and metabolism. Cool colors work the opposite so that’s why cool colors are calm and serene.
The red room in 50 shades of grey and the red light district have the same intentions. If you know what I mean! LOL!
Hugs,
Robin
I love red with leopard and you wear it like a BOSS Robin! Simply stunning. All of your co hosts look smashing in it as well, I am especially drawn to Emma’s look, I will stop by and visit all the ladies. Such a great theme with a very important message, we have nothing if we don’t have our health.
