Red Lipstick Optional is a mix of Elena and Polina’s work, who have busy lives, but never fail to find the best fashion bargains and enjoy countless shopping endeavors. We think style always changes and we love mixing our wardrobe pieces to create understated but elegant looks. Since this blog is a “baby” of two authors with different styles, we’ll try to make it easy and fun to follow. We hope to inspire women but, most importantly, show them that style, fashion, and beauty have no rules.
