Even when it’s dressed down and casual, wearing red always makes me feel powerful and fiery so it’s no surprise that psychologists and researchers agree that red is a colour which stirs up passion, with both negative and positive colour meanings.
Get the scoop behind my rockin’ red ensemble + take part in February’s Refashion Challenge below:
Chunky Knit Sweater (had for years) €0 – Distressed Jeans (thrifted & refashioned) €1 – Booties (thrifted online) €2
Total cost: €3
and for those who are writing to inform me that they find it hard to believe that I not only thrift and refashion my wardrobe but also hold onto items for years may I present the proof that I have indeed had that chunky knit sweater for years as stated above:

I thrifted that sweater shortly before I became pregnant with my kiddo – who shall soon be turning 5.
I love the styling of the first photo. And the red boots matches the sweater perfectly.
Thanks Melissa
Those boots were a fab thrifty find online!
That jersey looks lovely! Red has been my favourite colour for as long as I can remember. At thrift stores it draws me like a magnet, I just can’t resist red
Me too! I’m on the hunt for a pair of groovy red trousers, Unfortunately my thrifting karma hasn’t been working lately
Wow that’s great! Red looks great on you…I love the throw back pic.
Cheers Heidi, I think everyone should have at least one rocking red item in their wardrobe – it’s such an awesome mood improving colour!
You look amazing in red!
Thanks Jade
I love the colour red & actually scored a fabulous vintage red blouse at the thrift shop today!
