A red dress is a powerful thing, and I own several of them. I wear almost all of them the same way – put a belt on it, add sassy shoes and then something to tie it all together on top! See how I did it for three of my red favorites!
WHAT I WORE:
- Red Dresses One:
- Scoop-Neck Red Dress: (Banana Republic)
- Black Fitted Jacket with Epaulets: (H&M)
- Thin Black Belt: (Muse)
- Black Strappy Sandals: (Brand unknown, purchased at discount shoe store)
- Black Leather Bag w Studs: (Karen Millen)
- Red Dress Two:
- Patterned Red Dress with Ruffled hem: (Peter Pilotto for Target)
- Black Elastic Wide Belt: (American Apparel)
- Black Collar Necklace: (my own)
- Black Stacked-Heel Booties: (Dolce Vita, purchased on MyHabit)
- Red Dress Three:
- Pleated Fit and Flare Red Dress: (BB Dakota)
- Wide Black Belt: (Gap)
- Black Collar Necklace and Bracelet: (my own)
- Black Cowboy-Style Boots: (Brand unknown, purchased at Crossroads Trading Co.)
- Black Cross-Body Bag with Gold Studs: (Foley & Corinna, purchased on MyHabit)
WHY I WORE IT:
- In each of these outfits I chose a black belt to draw the eye to and narrow the look of my waste, as well as to match the black shoes I chose with each look.
- In two of the outfits, the black collar necklace served as a ‘bookend’ to the black shoes, while in the first dress, the black jacket served that purpose.
- For Red Dress One – I wore this outfit to work, so I wanted the outfit to appear more polished – which is why I chose a thin belt, a jacket, simple jewelry and sandals that could go from day to night.
- For Red Dress Two – I wore this outfit to a Friday work event, so I wanted to show up appropriately covered while still able to head to drinks with friends after. When I got to work, I changed into a blazer and pumps to bring it up a notch, professionally. I also ditched the belt to bring the length of the dress down inch.
- For Red Dress Three – I wore this look out to run errands on a Saturday. I knew it would be one of the first pictures I took for my blog, so I chose it because it is one of my favorite, go-to outfits of all time. Plus, when I wear it with these cowgirl boots, I feel super sassy! The necklace and wide belt make this prissy dress edgy, too.
