6 sensational ways to rock red and green

Ah, the eternal Christmas dilemma! Should you pick red or green? Dare you wear both and risk looking like an overgrown elf? Fear not, festive femmes. Our editors and writers are offering up their favorite seasonal looks. Hello, trendsetter!

 

“Toughie. I usually let one color dominate and incorporate the other through accessories. So red cardi plus green and gold pin — nothing too flamboyant. It's about little touches.” – Alyssa B., online contributing writer

 

“I like to bring out colors in accessories—handbags, jewels and heels are the way to really rock those shimmery holiday colors!” – Katie P., production director

 

“A holiday mani!  That’s what I’m going for – I think I’m going to try red nails with green bows, like little presents.  It’s cute and seasonal, but not over-powering.” – Marie H., online contributing writer

 

“Just don’t wear it head-to-toe! I’ll wear a red and green plaid scarf to cozy up jeans and a white tee.” – Kelsey H., advertising and sales assistant

 

“Red skinnies with a green top (or vice versa). Too bold? Tone it down with a metallic top and green accessories.” – Karmen F., online contributing editor

 

“Go for cranberry and olive instead--it's actually one of my fave color combos!” – Jessica D., associate fashion editor

 

What’s your favorite way to wear red and green, girlies?

MODMODMODMODMODMODMOD!!!!!! My parents are the super-strict overprotective type. I am not allowed to have a phone or go to the mall with friends of have a Facebook. I feel like I'm cut off from my friends. They all come to school talking about this big event or news about something and I'm clueless because I have no contact with the outside world. And I feel like my parents don't trust me. But I haven't given them any reason not to.

 

Hey chica, I would ask them why they're so strict. Once you know why they treat you this way, you can do things to show them you're ready to handle these responsibilities. Do everything you can to show them you're mature. Hope this helps!! Smile Smile

i love to wear red & green jewelry, but i mainly stick to green colors. I prefer choosing dark greens and reds that are not bright and christmas-y just like Jessica D. said in the article above.

MOD MOD MOD! my mom doesnt let me hang out with my friends as much as id like. She usually only lets me have 1 sleepover a month and doesnt really let me hang out with anybody during school days or on sunday! please help me be able to hang out with friends more and to get to have more sleepovers! thanks!!

 

Hey girl, talk to your mom and ask her why that is. See if its anything you're doing that's making her restrict you this way. Prove to her through doing chores, maintaining good grades, and keeping your room clean that you're responsible enough to have more free time. Hope this helps!! Smile Smile

My friend and I agreed on doing a $15 limit gift to each other for the holidays. What should I get her thats super cute!?

 

Hey girl,

 

If you want something cute, why not get a beauty product, like lip gloss or nail polish? You can never have too many! Check out this holiday article on gifts -- many of them are under $15!

so my hair is realllly greasy. i have to shower every day in the morning. if i shower at night, my hair already feels gross from sleeping on it. ive found some hair styles that i'd like to do in the morning before school and seem easy enough, but they require dry hair. should i start waking up earlier & drying my hair before i do them or what? thanks! Smile

 

Hey girl,

 

You could dry your hair in the morning, or try taking a shower a little earlier so your hair air dries and you're not sleeping on wet hair, which makes it harder to manage in the mornings. You can also try dry shampoo so you don't have to wash every day!

And for the chicas with fluctuating spirit, put together an ensemble you are cOmfortable flaunting. Try wearing a black skirt or flattering slacks, and some silver pumps. Put on your favorite toasty red holiday sweater, and BAM! An outfit even Ms. Claus couldn't resist.

These are some great ideas, GL! I will be sure to try the holiday manicure. Red with green glitter, anyone? I do have to say that silver and gold are fantastic holiday colors as well. Try wearing a silver glitzy dress like the Allover Sequin Dress at Delia's with some fabulous holiday nails. Don't forget to add the spotlight stealer red lipstick! Wear some silver or gold flats and add your Own twinkle to those toes. Try some glue-on rhinestones available at craft stores (red and green of course!) As for your makeup, go big or go home! Brown and green eyes can rock some gold glittery shadows and liner, and blue eyes can rock silver sparkles. Most of all, put on that smile because this holiday season is going to be fab!
