This morning I was officially dubbed the ladybug lawyer, and I must say I kind of love it.  Throwing a little black, white, and red in the mix is actually well embraced as a powerful color scheme.  Believe it or not, it can even represent danger.  If you spot black, red, and white in nature, you may want to be careful.  You may find yourself in the midst of a venomous creature.

While wearing red is a great way to stand out, it is also an elegant color when styled appropriately.  If you are looking for a simple way to incorporate red into your work attire, I highly recommend splurging on a red tote that will last you for a long time to come.  As my favorite Starbucks barista would say, I’m a lover of quirky accessories. Hence, today I’ve embraced my inner and outer quirkiness by pairing my Kate Spade cape with my Kate Spade Keyboard bag.  If you are going top heavy in red, pairing the look with black is a great way to emphasize the pop of color while also toning down the look.

If you are not quite ready to embrace the look in your work wardrobe, try incorporating the color scheme into the actual design of your office.  These three colors give off positive energy and strength, and what better place for strength then at your workplace.  Even a few simple pieces will do the trick.

Ready to embrace your inner power?
