jquery validation plugin- change border color + no text

Question

Is there anyway I can change the border-color to red on an error rather and get rid of the text? That's pretty much the only error I want to display, and it would disappear once the input/textarea becomes focused.

<div id="contact-form">
            <form method="get" id="contacts">
                <div class="contact-controls">
                    <label class="contact-label" for="name-input">NAME</label>
                    <div class="input-wrapper">
                        <input type="text" name="contact-name" id="name-input" placeholder="Your Name" required>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="contact-controls">
                    <label class="contact-label" for="email-input">EMAIL</label>
                    <div class="input-wrapper">
                        <input type="text" name="contact-email" id="email-input" placeholder="Your Email" required>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="contact-controls">
                    <label class="contact-label" for="message-input">MESSAGE</label>
                    <div class="input-wrapper">
                        <textarea name="contact-message" id="message-input" rows="15" placeholder="Hi there&#33;" required></textarea>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="contact-controls">
                    <input type="hidden" name="save" value="contact">  
                    <button type="submit" class="contact-button">Send</button>  
                </div>
            </form>
        </div>
