♥ "when in doubt, wear red." ~ bill blass

(spotted on life according to celia.)

in her photography project & book,  alyson fox asked one hundred different
 women to pose for a portait wearing the same shade of red lipstick.


"lipstick is something all women have some familiarity with. for many young
girls lipstick is the first thing you try on in your mother's makeup drawer. sometimes
wearing it became a way to fit in. sometimes a way to stand out. sometimes a uniform.
sometimes an armor. sometimes a gash. sometimes an incision. sometimes an invitation.
sometimes a warning. sometimes just something that goes with your dress.
whatever the reason, it is always transformative."

i could not have said it better myself.
