Red Dresses for the Holidays

I’m embracing the holiday spirit a little early this year, and getting back to my roots in retail when November is the season to get the shop decorated and full of holiday looks. Since the home page of Dress for the Wedding is my virtual shop window, I’ve decided to put a pretty red dress in the front display. Nothing says ‘holiday party’ quite like a red dress, and there are several this season I have my eye on. This red and black embellished dress has been one on my holiday party dress list from the start, because it can be appropriate for a winter wedding guest, but fun enough to wear to holiday cocktail parties. It perfectly walks that fine line between cute, festive, and completely appropriate for more conservative events.
