Not red but the style's chic.



An evening gown that will make you look bigger.



Unusual but adorable style.

I can wear all red, all white or red and white. I don't think I want to wear all white though, although I like the color white better than red. I'm clumsy and might spill something (ahem, red wine) on it. lol

if you have quite a boyish figure, it's good to break
up the silhouette. separates are great for this.

something as basic as a tailored tank and pouffed
skirt. or jacket with a strapless dress. belted dresses
will work too. as a reference, anything that cameron diaz
wears will suit your body type.

also am loving chanel's red-tipped on cream ballet shoes.

I have more of a pronounced waist-hip ratio than Cameron Diaz. The dress is cute though.

Nearly everyone outside of the film industry does, don't panic.

Not all actresses (even the super popular ones )have a body like hers.

Uhh....

I jsut realized we're probably splitting hairs at this point.

It's too bad it's red & white & not red & black... black looks so much better with red, IMO. If possible, maybe do ALL red - red shoes, red jewelery. That's so modern :D.

I don't know how formal this thing is, but I'm liking this red denim dress... I think a white leather or even denim jacket over it could be cool (if it's in the evening & gets cool), and white ankle boots will work as well as black.

I like the tulip dresses Zara sells. They create a curvy silhouette, but they are admittedly very "little girly" still.

I like this one from Zara too... You're thin, but shapely, right? Loose clothes can actually make you seem more "frail", so fitted might be the way to go. I personally tend to like structure & sleekness for red dresses, with exceptions of course. 90s minimalism is a good way to go with red.

If you have time, you can head to a thrift shop & buy a frumpy 80s dress & then hem it :D

That's not what this is, probably, but it looks like one I did a few years ago:

If you're going to do cute, flared skirt, I like something more 70s/90s than 50s (which is sooo played out & looks too housewifey much of the time, IMO).

This has white polka dots too, but isn't too "little girl"... to me anyway.

That's not to say a retro 50s silhouette can't be cool. This girl reminds me of Rooney Mara... there's something still kind of minimalistic & sleek about it so it's not too cutesy:

I like all of these looks, except the 2nd to last:

I like how this is two shades of red:

And finally.... red dress + sheer red tights :wubbie:
Too risky? :D

Okay, I'm having too much fun :happy2:
