Is there one color you never wear? Darling Magazine recently posed this question to me and challenged me to step outside of my comfort zone by incorporating it into my wardrobe.

For me that color is red. Or, as my five-year-old self would have said, wed.

Read why over on the Darling Magazine website, if you’re curious…

Apparently I’m an all or nothing kind of girl, because I embraced the challenge by going head-to-toe with the cherry bomb hue for a mostly monochromatic romp around Mono Lake. And I liked it! Sometimes it’s good to step out of your comfort zone. In giant bow heels.

Is there a color you’ve always avoided? Why? Let me know in the comments!
