OK.. so I know that the LBD is the #1 dress to own but, this holiday season, it’s all about the little “RD” (Red Dress) instead! I know red can feel difficult to pull off, but rest assured that there’s a shade of red to compliment everyone!
For all you fashionistas like myself, when you’re picking out a red dress there are a few pointers you may want to follow…
Sometimes, this vibrant hue can find itself on the borderline between chic and cheap, so make sure you find a dress with a silhouette that’s sophisticated and modern. And if you’re going to be buying this dress for multiple occasions (always a money saver!), it might be ok to spend up to $100 on an amazing, eye- catching number!
Always remember to try on the dress in question with your hair down! If you’re brunette like me go for a shade that is darker and more of a brick or burgundy red. For those who sport beautiful red hair like Isla Fisher or Debra Messing choose a red that is a warmer and brighter. Finally, for all you blonde bomb-shells, like The Cheap Chica herself, any shade from candy red to apple red will do!
Unfortunately, I haven’t bought myself a red dress yet but, tomorrow I’ll definitely be on the hunt for one since my friend Lauren will be walking down the isle this weekend! I might even pick up this adorable cherry red dress from Free People on sale for $49.95… it’s too cute to resist and it will also be a perfect dress for the up-coming holidays!
So this season, choose a red dress in your favorite silhouette…whether its a one shoulder, sweetheart, or spaghetti strap dress and enjoy being the center of attention!

My grandma always told me that when you buy a formal gown make sure it’s red, (I’ve stuck by her advice, I have always had gorgeous red dresses. This year it’s a cute origami folded mini
)
Red’s just so much more fun than basic black, and it makes you stand out as that one red flash in a sea of LBD!
