With ISIS Gone, Kurdish Lady Promises to Only Wear Red the Rest of Her Life
When ISIS fled her town, and took their gloomy dress code with them, this woman celebrated by declaring she'll only wear red for the rest of her life.

As the "Islamic State" known as ISIS retreats, there has been a steady advance of bright colors on the streets of Syrian cities and towns.

Women are celebrating liberation from the terrorists by donning brilliant hues, as a symbolic celebration of their freedom — and one woman even says she will "only wear red" for the rest of her life.
