It was rainy this weekend and I saw it as the perfect opportunity to photograph this red trench coat; I wanted to do a Valentine’s Day themed post and this is the only thing I own in red. Believe it or not, this is the first time I’ve ever worn this trench even though it’s been in my closet for almost 3 years. It was a gift from my mom and, although I love it, it remained hidden in my closet because of the color. To me, red is very bright and noticeable and, as an introvert, the last thing I want to do is draw attention to myself. Yet, looking back at these pictures, this outfit doesn’t look too flashy; I really love the way that the red color contrasts with my dark hair, and this trench is very much my style. I guess that is a signal that I need to venture out of my comfort zone every once in a while. Only time will tell if I can actually keep true to that last statement.
