Hi all!
I was on the hunt to find the perfect red dress for quite some time. I’m very particular about the shade of red, and I really love this poppy/orange red. I thought I found the perfect dress, but when I tried to style it, I found it more challenging than I anticipated. My favorite outfit that I made with it is with white sneakers or boots and a cream crop jacket. But nothing else quite looks right to me. The black boots seem too heavy and fancy for the casual material and cut of the dress. Black + red feels too harsh/contrast-y to me. Also, this particular cut of dress is a shape that I used to wear all the time when I was in my 20s, and it feels a bit weird to go back to that shape even though I think it works well for my body. I’m 40 now. What do you think? Keep the red dress, or just stick with pops of red like in the other photos? Do you have other ideas on how to style this dress, or maybe thoughts on what I should look for in a different red dress instead? Trying to decide before I need to make a decision about returning or keeping the dress. Thank you in advance for your advice!
