A few of you made the comment on my recent red lip tutorial that red lips are still out of your comfort zone. I completely understand. Even though a bright lip is often my go to right now, at one point I found wearing red lipstick so intimidating. I actually remember my first time wearing a red lip. It was during my last trip to New York and I took like 15 test photos of my face before leaving the hotel room to see how weird I looked. I decided that I didn't like smiling with the red lip because I thought it looked weird with my teeth haha. 27 year old Melissa was pretty ridiculous. 30 year old Melissa is completely normal... don't you dare say anything.
Love the red lips, but I'm definitely one of those girls that's intimidated by it. Actually, not even just red lipstick intimidates me, it's pretty much any color. But lip color aside, this look is pretty amazing. I love the polkadot skirt and the bow belt. Such a classy, chic look :)

I love a red lip, especially with a black and white outfit. Also loving that bow belt. It feels very Kate Spade but at an H&M price I can appreciate. Really cute!
