Want to feel sexy? Wear a red dress!
Wearing a red dress will always draw attention, so you better be ready. Now is not the time to experiment with makeup, hairstyles or accessories. I would definitely wear red lipstick and nail polish and keep everything else natural. As for hair, choose a natural style that doesn't require you to fuss with it all night, you really don't want to appear uncomfortable in a red dress. When it comes to shoes and stocking....well, there are two opposing opinions on this one...some say black shoes are an abomination with a red dress, I say black shoes and sheer stockings almost always look elegant and classy. If you don't want to go with black shoes I would chose silver or nude, and again, keep it simple. When wearing a red dress it's a short trip from sexy to slutty...accessorize accordingly.

From the king of the red dress....Valentino. Which one would you choose?
If any of you has a strong opinion about how to accessorize a red dress, I would love to hear it. Someone once told me that blonds should never wear red, I definitely disagree, what about you? What's your opinion on red heads and red dresses? Would love to hear your thoughts.
Have a beautiful day.

I love this! And you use a picture from my favorite Audrey Hepburn movie "Funny Face"
I've always felt that red wasn't my best color.....but I do wear it at Christmas and Valentines....and the 4th of July. The rest of the time, though, I wear very little. I think black shoes AND stockings are a good look with red dresses.....like the lady in the red dress with the sweater.
Believe it or not, I love Audrey Hepburn but I've actually never seen Funny Face...oh what is wrong with me!
I almost always wear black shoes and stockings with red. I think it looks great.
I'm not so sure red is my best color either, but I love it so much that I wear it anyway!
To me that movie is the perfect fashion movie! Book worm girl gets turned into a model and goes to Paris- perfection <3
