Every New Year, our family has always been accustomed to wearing red. Actually, the most perfect outfit supposedly is that of any red and polka dot combination. But since it's hard to find clothes with polka dot design these days, we are happy to wear just red. In Chinese culture, red symbolizes luck and fortune, thus, our practice of wearing such so we may attract more luck and fortune this new year. As for me, just to spice things up a bit, I wore a bit of black too. They look really nice together. A bit classic-looking, but nice. Black for me symbolizes the stable combination of all positive forces (at least in my own world). Isn't it that when you combine all colors, you produce black?
So anyway, this new year, I'd like to imbibe stability & fortune in all my endeavors, thus, the red and black affair for my first few outfits this new year. ^_^
I was wearing red crocheted shawl by 248, old black haltered top, pink cutoffs and red flat plastic shoes.
I was wearing my red beret I bought in Baguio my red & black paisley dress and black crocheted sleeveless cloak by 248, my black Guess watch and my black 4-inch Mary Jane shoes by People are People.
I was wearing my old red turleneck I bought from a Tiangge in Citimall, Philcoa (year 2001), black suede coat from Baguio (year 2002), maong mini skirt from YRYS and gladiator boots by People are People.
