Bing On Your Cherry

March 4th, 2013

red and pink

Mara Hoffman Dress, Alexandra DeClaris Clutch, Louboutin Heels, Essie ‘Boxer Shorts’ Nail Polish

I’ve always loved the combination of red and pink. When I first starting wearing the colors together, it was in the form of coordinating rubberbands on my braces. And yet somehow, even though the shades are both innately feminine, they manage not to look too saccharine when worn at the same time. When I saw this dress (especially since it coordinated with Shopbop’s sale last week), I knew it was the ideal piece for any dressy occasion. The silhouette is sophisticated, but the thin cut-outs along the sides keep it from feeling too serious.

    Really bright and charming, love it, but stills look too summery, I wish I could wear a dress like that now, but stills too cold.

    I totally think the cut-outs add something huge to this dress. The shape is very simple (though super sexy) otherwise and the cut-outs make it so much more fun! I love the colors together, though they do remind me of Valentine’s Day.
