Can we firstly take a moment to appreciate how hilarious/straight to the point that title is? Can we also take a moment to appreciate the fact that I may have picked this dress out purely based on the fact that it makes me feel a little bit like the lady in red emoji [insert lady in red emoji here for good measure].
But jokes aside – although let’s be serious, I’m 100% not joking… – red is not a colour that features heavily in my wardrobe. Burgundy? Yes. Maroon? So much of it. But pillar-box red? This is a rarity, and one that won’t be for much longer because I have fallen hook, line and sinker for this Closet London beauty and have spent far longer than I care to admit trawling ASOS/Missguided/Boohoo/[insert your own choice of online shopping website here] looking for more bright red pieces to add to my boring monochrome wardrobe!
Apart from the stunning, vibrant red colour, the other thing that I adore about this dress is the cut. I am all about the bell sleeves – I mean, you know this by now right? – and the skater style dress as I find it more flattering for my shape, so this dress has quickly become my new go-to for when I want to feel sassy as f**k really good in myself.
And that completes the look. In case you couldn’t tell from my mild fan girl, I really do love this dress. But what I love most is that it finally pushed me out of my comfort zone, and d’you know what? I actually really enjoyed it. Whilst I won’t be popping to Tesco for my grocery’s in bright, pillar box red on a daily basis, I am definitely thinking of ways that I can work it subtly into my wardrobe.
I love this dress, red is definitely your colour.
Lots of love,
Angie SilverSpoon London
Thanks so much lovely!

That is such a stunning colour, so Autumnal and Christmassy too! Coming to think of it I think I have every colour in my wardrobe apart from something RED, I'll have to change that! x http://www.coffeeatmidnight13.blogspot.co.uk/
Isn't it such a lovely colour, I'm definitely looking for more!
xx
So pretty! (As per usual m'dear!) Love the dress and to be honest? That is one of my favourite emojis. You should wear red more as you rock the heck out of it!

I feel like our wardrobes must be the EXACT opposite – I have white to navy in every shade and then pillar box red and a specific shade of green thrown in to mix it up! So I LOVE this colour!! I'm never convinced of the bell sleeves, but I think that's because I spend most of my days rolling up whatever sleeves I am wearing. Colour is divine tough.
Where did you shoot? The raw red bridge is such a great back drop!

Elle, I'm so glad the line found you because you look stunning in red! The skater style of the dress is definitely a selling point for me!

I definitely prefer your dress to that song 😉 Love the backdrop near Shadwell Basin, I used to run around there and should probably get back to that!

So gorgeous! I definitely think red is a colour for blondes, although maybe I'm biased! I think it's a super sexy colour though x

Wow check you out lady! The red suits you so well, such a statement colour! I love the bell shaped sleeves and the skater style, it's very 70's! 🙂

Bell sleeves really does make a huge difference! I guess it's the way the arm looks and how the bell softens the frame 🙂

Yes, totally agree with that!

I think you look amazing in red.
I mostly have just black dresses with a few summer dresses in more nude like colours, but I have been thinking about extending my colours to a few wine pieces, moving more out of my comfort zone.

Love this dress, I have a vintage Jaegar with gold buttons on the shoulders that reminds me of this-the cut is the same, such a classic style. You look gorgeous, lady x

Hi Ellie,
I love this dress. It looks absolutely gorgeous on you! I think adding a necklace like this would make it look amazing too! http://www.stylewear.ie/store/p39/Rhinestone_Triangle__Necklace.html
But the delicate necklace you wore with this dress looks great as well.

What a stunner of a dress. Plus, YAAS to sleeves! As much as other Tesco shoppers would definitely appreciate this gorgeous piece, this dress is created for champagne brunches with friends 😉

Elle you look seriously incredible in red! The lady in red emoji would be jealous! I'm a huge fan of the bell sleeve trend at the moment- I think it makes pieces look really expensive 🙂

Wow elle, red suits you well
You should wear red more often
I love the flowy details too

Red is definitely one of the more daring shades out there & I don't think I own one single item of clothing in this kind of red either. Fair play for stepping outside of your comfort zone because it really suits you so well. You look amazing & much better then the red lady emoji haha x
Beauty with charm
Well, you say you don't wear much red like this. But it really suits you, so you should DEFINITELY do it more. It's a gorgeous colour on you. And so simply styled with the black details. Gorgeous x
You look gorgeous dear!

This is such a lovely colour on you and the cut is very flattering. I love Closet for work dresses x
I totally agree – burgundy is so frequent in my wardrobe, but a proper, bright red hardly ever features – this dress looks gorgeous, I especially adore the shoes! x
