MODERN RETRO

Why Modern Retro you ask? Because this dress reminds me of the 1950's, the pin dots / polka dots, the gathered swing skirt, fitted waist and square neckline, all remind me of a time I wish I was swing dancing. But since I didn't exist in that time period I can add a little modern twist to a classic style. I also decided to go with red lips (my all time favorite red lipstick is Mac's Ruby Woo) which is so 1950's pin up and truly timeless, classic and elegant. I wore this outfit to work with my Zara sandals instead of pumps because I wanted to add that modern twist to a retro looking dress.

OH SO RED

I love a colored pair of pants, it can easily add that wow factor to any outfit and can take an outfit from drag to fab. Colored pants are another way to brighten up your wardrobe. Many believe that red isn't very versatile and can only be worn with neutral basics; a huge misconception. Red can be color blocked with solid colors  or paired with patterns or prints, which is another great way to revamp your look. I personally love pairing reds with various prints,  and solids such as blues, purples and pinks.
