If ever a dress were my soulmate, this one would be a strong contender. It’s fun, it’s colorful, and perhaps just a little too much. I’ve never been into LBDs (little black dresses) but I will take a little red dress all day long! (See other LRDs in my closet here, here and here.) Beyond the color, it’s the shoulders that take the cake. I love a big ‘ole ruffle - they make me feel super feminine and like a boss at the same time. Do you prefer a LBD or a LRD? What color or feature makes you feel most confident?
