The Perfect Little Red Dress for Summer
Everyone knows they should have a Little Black Dress or LBD in their closet. But I also think that everyone needs a LRD, or, Little Red Dress in their closet! Just like black, red is a classic color. And if you want to make a statement, red is definitely the color to choose. Plus, red is a fun and totally appropriate color for summer days and nights!
I was instantly drawn to this dress because of the puff sleeves and button front. It feels very Parisian to me as well, and you know I’m all about French fashion at the moment! I also love that it’s a linen/cotton/viscose blend so it feels very appropriate for summer. I only wish it was a little longer. I’m 5′ 8″ and it hits right at my finger tips. I usually prefer my dresses to be a couple inches longer. BUT it was just so cute that I couldn’t say no.
Obviously, this would be a cute summer date night dress, but I also think it works for daytime. I actually wore it to the mall for a blogger meet up with Brenda from Barefoot in LA! I would LOVE to wear this dress on a tropical beach vacation but I don’t think that will be happening anytime soon!

Now onto Flashback Fashion Fridays! Here’s a look from last June when my husband and I went to Korakia in Palm Spring for our Babymoon! If I was going back to this hotel anytime soon I would totally bring this red dress! I LOVED this spot and am dying to go back but they don’t allow kids. I need a vacation!
Our picks from last week’s linkup are Jennie from A Pocketful of Polkadots and Kileen from Cute and Little!
Adri and I would love for you to link up your fashion posts for a chance to be featured next week!

That’s sooo cute dear! Such a head-turning color, love the shoulders, and the length is super perfect too.
