A Surprising Item You Should Pack When Traveling

I recently shared how wonderful little red dresses are and today I am going to sing the praises of red once again. When packing for a trip I typically stick to items that can be easily mixed and matched and usually focus on a neutral color palette with one exception: one red item. Whether it is a dress, skirt, or a top a red item adds a little unexpected flare to your wardrobe while traveling. It gives you a fun, slightly sassy pop of color to wear while out of town. Another huge plus is that it really stands out and looks incredible in photographs and who doesn't want to get at least a few vacation photos were they look amazing. Here are a few pretty red items:
Electric Red Shirttail Sweater
Red Pleated Skirt
Cropped Blazer
Midi Skirt
Lattice Trim Shift Dress
Crepe Dress

P.S. Need more convincing check out this Instagram account to see some beautiful places Andrea Dabene has been photographed in her red skirt.

Little Red Dresses

60's Shift Dress / Sheath Dress / Halter Swing Dress
A few weeks ago I shared 3 little white dresses for summer and I have previously posted some of my favorite little pink dresses. When I stumbled across this picture on Pinterest over the weekend I was reminded of how sassy and chic a little red dress can be. Then I realized that I had included a little red number in my last Friday Favorites post so I went in search of some other dresses in red. Some more favorites can be found at the following links:

Lace Dress
Lulu Dress
Chiffon Dress
Scallop Back Dress
Belted Shift Dress
Flippy Dress
Jersey Tunic Dress
Pleated Sheath Dress

Valentine's Dress Ideas

Valentine's Day is not that far off. Do you have any plans with a special someone? Other than probably hanging out with a few friends I don't have anything special planned. Maybe your plans involve dressing for the occasion? I love all of the dresses below. I think they would make perfect Valentine's date dresses. They are all beautiful. Creams, reds, silvers, golds, and pinks are the colors I think more about when I think of Valentine's Day, so these would be perfect! Which one is your favorite? This one would be my favorite. I think it would be perfect with these heels, this clutch, and these earrings. What do you think?

I am a huge advocate of the Little Black Dress but there's no denying that a Little Red Dress has an equal amount of appeal and almost as much diversity, plus it has just a little pizzazz to it. After slipping on a LRD it would be impossible to not feel an extra little boost in confidence. Red is sexy, sassy, and bold while maintaining a classic, timeless feel.
