Why Every Woman Needs a Red Dress

There’s something so va-va-voom about a red dress.

& luckily it’s a color that looks great on basically every skin tone. I’m especially loving it since getting a little bit of a tan, it only took getting a pretty bad burn first. I wouldn’t recommend getting color my way but I will enjoy it while it lasts. As a matter of fact, I think I may have to pick back up on my sunless tanning to keep this glow a little longer. What are some of your favorite products for at home tanning? In the past I’ve used St. Tropez (this one & this one) and Jergens Natural Glow, each of which were gradual at building color and did zero to little staining to my palms. 

I picked this dress up to wear over the 4th of July holiday weekend and now I’m wondering how I went so long without having a red dress in my wardrobe, without having much red anything. It’s actually really sad, my closet is color coordinated and the red section had no more than 6 items-the only thing I had less of was orange. I’m now on a mission to change that.   

Red draws the eye; it’s bold, it’s fierce and it’s contagious.
Wearing this dress was an instant boost of confidence, red dresses always are. I especially loved this ladylike silhouette, wrap dresses are always flattering. Perfect color, perfect cut, 2 for 2, because red is such an eye catching color I didn’t want anything too revealing or showy so keeping it at a midi length was the solution to mixing demure with fun and flirty.

 If you’re going for a dress in a bold color or pattern make sure you pick something in a cut you absolutely love, everyone’s eyes will be on you-you’re going to want to feel as confident as possible.
