Cherry Red Cocktail Dress | February Wedding Guest Dress

Cherry Red Cocktail Dress

I like to do a thematic post on the first day of the month, so of course it only makes sense that February-- a month marked with red, pink and all things Valentine-- should start off with a little cherry red dress to celebrate! And check out this shop page for more cute red dresses!

Cherry red cocktail dressThe shopping details: (These shopping links are from affiliated sponsors) The Dress: kate spade new york 'Molly' Dress at Rent the Runway // Earrings: Oversized Pearl Earrings from Juliet & Co. at Shopbop  // Necklace:  Imitation Pearl Necklace by Kenneth Jay Lane  Clutch: Sophie Anderson 'Sa Eva Arrow' clutch from Far Fetch //Heels: Anne Michelle Floral Ankle Strap Sandals from Charlotte Russe

I wrote a post several months ago about whether or not one can wear red to a wedding, and while some tight form-fitting red dresses are inadvisable, this silk fit and flare from kate spade new york, is a wedding guest - do.  It's bright, cheerful, and has classic lines. The pinkish maraschino red is especially a great color to brighten up the last few months of winter.

I kept the accessories simple, but large in scale to balance the oversized bell of the skirt. I loved the way those statement pearls already shown on the model looked, so I kept those and added some large pearl stud earrings.  For accessories, I thought those floral print shoes would be a nice little bit of color, and since the straps are so small, the floral print won't overwhelm the look. I added that little pink and red clutch for another little bit of color and a subtle print mix.

If you're not attending any weddings this month, I recommend this dress for a Valentine's Day date!
