SPORTS RED | SPORTY WINTER Look

You can't tell that I am shaking in this photo. Shivering and about ready to freeze.

My sister and I stepped out in 17 degree weather to take these pictures after my red fever hit one Friday evening. Flipping through Pinterest pics of badass sporty girls on my couch, I was inspired to create a look that was just as gangsta, in a slick black outfit with splatters of red scattered throughout the photos.

Red is an intense color, so fiery and passionate that it can be blinding. Its various shades are juicy, and at times seductive, gracing the curves and lips of women. Just as soft and sensual as it can be, the color also has a thirst for speed, making the fastest cars look even faster #hotrods. It is also a great color to add that perfect pop to a monotone outfit.

I've always had a thing for an all white or an all black outfit with this random (or deliberate) hint of red in it. For this shoot, where numbed fingers and runny noses prevailed, I coordinated not just an outfit to fit that concept, but the entire photoshoot. My outfit may not have the hint of red added, but the photo details do. It is a perfect example of just how great a cherry shade can compliment anything in life, whether it's an outfit, room decor, or some dope photos. 

The look

This is how you can get this simple & chill, yet extremely badass sporty look.
Step one: stock up on all black. This is a general wardrobe tip, considering you can NEVER have too much black in your closet. But for this particular outfit, you want to focus on black chill clothes, such as sweats and simple tees.
I love pants with stripes, especially black sweatpants with white stripes, whether they're baggy, or fitted like these ^. They feel so vintage to me, first of all, and the stripes also help to define your figure.
​Figure definition plays a huge part in this outfit, which leads me to step

two: take advantage of the wait purse trend. Not only does it serve as a belt that can define your waistline, but it's also a super cute way to carry your bag and keep your hands free.
​Anything black and white can be paired and matched together, so add unique black and white accents to jazz up the outfit, such as what I did by adding the bandana. Black and gold is also great together.
A skin-tight outfit with a modest jacket or pullover is the move. So, step three: invest in a cute sporty coat that is long and loose to wear over your sexy sporty fit.
