red lips.

yesterday, i had a noon appointment and found myself running way behind schedule. i slicked my wet hair into a low ponytail, threw on a my favorite gray shirt, a pair of dark-wash skinny jeans and some flats--and suddenly felt like something was missing. so i grabbed a tube of red lipstick, slicked it on and headed out the door without a second thought.

the result? i felt super sassy for the whole rest of the day. rarely do i wear red lipstick, even at night, but i think i'm going to start making a point to do it more often. on a rainy day like yesterday, especially, it made me feel happy.

are you a red lipstick wearer?
