Red dress diva

For years it seems like people have been shy of the red dress. The red dress has symbolized being naughty or a vixen, think back to the film” Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” Jessica Rabbit in her long red dress and purple gloves. She was a vixen and the red dress symbolized that. Or when Rhett Butler told Scarlett to “play the part”,making her wear a bright red dress to Ashley’s birthday. You know the dress was to show everyone she was in trouble for being “promiscuous. These are just some of the ways the poor red dress has been misinterpreted, until Julia Roberts wore that red dress in Pretty Woman. Even still today many women are afraid of this gorgeous hued dress. I’m not exactly sure why, ladies can wear neon pants(shudder) but, they can’t wear a cute red dress. Am I missing something?

Calvin Klein $75.99

I love how simple this dress is, so chic and elegant.

Shoshanna $187

This adorable dress would be great day or night. For this dress it would be all about the accessories.

BCBGMAxazria $160

This is just a sweet little dress, I adore sweetheart necklines. Just adorable.

Alexander McQueen $740

Ok, this dress may not look the most amazing but it spoke to me. It is just unique and strangely alluring.

Nicole Miller$139

Another chic choice, but the one thing I want to point out is the color. It is a red but it is a deeper red. More of a red wine color.

Kay Unger $160

This dress is just fun, I love it!

Tahari $59.99

Another great dress, and this one is just a dress you would want to just keep in your clothing arsenol.

Cavalli $439

This is just cute, more of a coral red. Need I say more?

Roccobarocco $249

I love how feminine this is, perfect for Valentines day.

Pencil Skirt loves!

What is it about pencil skirts that I just love? Is it the stylish and glamorous look of it, where the skirt can take a regular shirt and turn it into a work of art? Is it the simplicity of the skirt? Or, perhaps it is the traditional feel of the look. When paired with the right shoes, jewelry, bag, and make up this piece of clothing can make you feel like a sophisticated lady, or a sexy fashionesta. Who said a skirt had to be above the knee to be considered sexy or “hot”? This skirt is not the skirt of yesteryear.

Here are some great ideas!

Ok, I love this skirt! I love the detail of the leather at the top for just a perfect amount of rocker glam. My concern with this is no matter what, spaghetti sauce would end up on this, whether I am eating it or not.

Burberry pencil skirt. $259.00

I love Burberry! Whenever I see their ads or would walk by a store carrying this line, I would just want to touch everything and look. Their coats and bags are always a classic hit, and yet while so high fashion, their clothing and accessories are so simple. I want this skirt!

These skirts are so simple and basic, it is no wonder why they are a staple in many women’s closets. Certainly was one of mine(just not right now). Professional women or the stay at home mom, I do believe these skirts will stick around for a long time, just with some modern updates here and there.
