when in doubt wear red

In April we have the Navy Submariner Ball, meaning I have an excuse to dress up. Craig suggested that maybe I go out of my comfort zone a little. I decided that a red dress that hugged my body a bit would be much different! I have been looking at different celebraties in red dresses and decided that there are some ground rules. First, it must fit right to make sure you rock it. Second, keep everything else basic! Statement earrings and strappy heels are a must. Finally, swept up locks with volume are a must followed by eyeliner.

dress / heels (a good deal!)/ earrings/ eyeliner (stays on flawlessly)

the secret to standing out? Go to some local vintage stores and look for a clutch to make your look unique!

  1. Wow, the cut of this dress is GORG! I definitely agree with you in regards to "keeping everything else basic" ~ the dress should be the focal point.
