Today's look will put a little SPRING in your step :)

Good Manners

Red Hot

I've always been wary of red dresses.  Who wants to summon the drama of Scarlett O'Hara or Jessica Rabbit's cartoon curves for a black tie event?  But when I found THE dress, and it happened to be crimson..I knew I had to find a way to paint the town (a classy shade of) red.  Naturally, I did the style research, and this is what I learned:

• Don't go overboard.  Save the false lashes and big hair for a black dress, when you need the added flair.
• Don't get matchy-matchy.  Resist the temptation to don a red lip, red clutch, red shoes, or ruby jewelry.  Instead, pick subtle makeup and nude shoes.
• Control the va-va-voom.  The color is guaranteed to bring out your inner Marilyn.  Be cautious about adding extra sex appeal. 

Mission accomplished?
