You Say You Love The Rain

I'm back to being a redhead! Red hair just makes so much more sense to me in the fall and it's less maintenance than pink hair...although I must admit I missed my pink hair as soon as the red started to dry. Oh well! Full details on my process and dyes to come this afternoon if anyone's curious. Anyway, this was a rainy day when it finally started to feel like autumn and I wore a new dress from White Plum and felt quite fancy. It's funny I don't usually pick dresses with details around the neckline like this, but I tried one earlier this summer and felt like I some of that random fashion advice I had read or seen on television shows like What Not To Wear clicked for the first time. Like, "pick neutral dresses with interesting details around the neckline to draw the eye up and focus more attention on your face." It's something Stacey or Clinton would recommend and never really sunk in for me, but when I put a dress like this on it all makes sense. All that to say, I like the style. I'm still a sucker for peter pan collars and polka dots, but something about this look feels more mature to me--as if I'm less likely to be mistaken for a teenager in this dress...maybe.

Posies Of Roses

I'm a sucker for little red dresses--I hardly ever see one that I don't want to add to my collection. Ironically, I wear other colors more often, so I end up hanging most of my red dresses up on my walls (there are six red dresses decorating the wall beside my bed right now...). This version of the red dress is perfect for summer--lightweight without being sheer and I love the stud details along the neckline and waist which makes wearing jewelry unnecessary. As lovely as my dress are these flowers in a park near me. It's pretty wonderful that I can be surrounded by roses without having to pay to visit a botanical garden.
P.S. Don't forget you can get 20% off at White Plum with code "CLOTHESHORSE20"
