A Little Red Dress

March 6, 2013

Wow I can't believe it is already March, ladies and gents! This year is sure flyin' by and I'm staying really busy with nursing school. Tonight I wanted to do a quick post showing one of my favorite dresses I got for Christmas from my trusty standby Forever 21. I know that the "little black dress (LBD)" is the staple every girl should own, but I also tend to think that a red dress in your closet can go very far!!! There are so many ways you can wear this dress! I've layered them with sweaters and shirts for a "skirt" look and have worn them with heels and boots. So tonight I wanted to show you 2 ways I've worn this dress. Also, the pic quality isn't the best...these are mostly just iPhone photos but better than nothing right?!

The first was for a fashion show I attended for Marc Nelson Denim (the amazing company I blog for). I wanted an edgier look so I wore my leopard print heels paired with black knee high socks and belted my dress. I really love the socks with heels look that's been around this past winter. I know it's not for everyone but I thought it added a touch of fun and not to mention a little bit of warmth to my ensemble for the evening :). Here's how my first look turned out....nothing like some full-length mirror pics! :)









Dress: Forever 21
Heels: Gianni Bini 
Jewelry: local boutique
Socks: F21
Belt: NY & Co.

A few weeks later I knew this dress would be perfect for Valentine's Day!!! My sweet bf and I went to a nice Italian restaurant in town so I wanted to go for a glam look. I still went with my leopard print heels minus the socks and decided to add my Juicy Couture leopard print faux fur coat!!! I seriously love this coat (faux fur, of course I love it!) and love taking every opportunity I can to wear it. 





Dress: F21
Heels: Gianni Bini
Faux Fur Coat: Juicy Couture 
Necklace: Tiffany's

Thanks so much for reading dolls!!! Hope you're having a great week!

XOXO

    1. AW thank you SO much girl!!! It's actually from a boutique in Knoxville called Southern Grace. It was only $11 for the necklace and the earrings. It is also great quality--a definite steal!! The boutique is usually at the shows where Marc Nelson Denim sets up! Ah I hope you're doing well girl! :) XOXO
