Red Carpet

Ah, dreams... how sweet your nectar...

I like to experiment.  Here's an example of something new.  A pretty red dress with ruching down the sides.  More elegant than I normally wear.  Your thoughts?

    The color looks good on you and I heart the boa. However, I would like it more if it was a bit shorter. Maybe just at or just above the knee.

    I love the color and length. I have been very into that particular length of skirt/dress lately. It is elegant.

    I love everything.... you look so classy and elegant. and happy!

    And I really love those off-white shoes with that dress, it's such a nice surprise! Black is so predictable and safe. Although, IRL I would skip the boa.

    The dress suits your colours and you styled it in a neat way!! I've never expected myself to say that (cause I've never worn one in my whole life), but you look better in a mini-skirt or at least a shorter one! I guess it has to do with your fantastic legs and balancing your upper body volume! Show them off! In all a very stylish outfit and I love this kind of shoes!! Kisses

    Stunning! I especially like how you paired the burgundy with white & silver accents, I would never have thought of that color combo but it looks great!!

    I like that Dress on you but I have to say you look better in shorter skirts. You have amazing legs you should show them :)

    I think it's the perfect color for you and looks great. I'm not crazy about the boa,but then I am boring.

    Very pretty dress. I like the gathering along the sides. Personally boas always rock, especially if you have the confidence. :) a pretty scarf/shawl would be nice too for colder evenings.

    You look elegant. Even without the boa, I think the outfit still rocks. ;)

    Very elegant- nice touch with the ivory shoes instead of expected black- wondering what the dress would look like a little bit shorter.

    That colour is fabulous on you. The dress length is good - you have great legs and very nice ankles too, so can carry a longer length well. And the boa is wonderful. Take home message: gorgeous!

    Thank you guys, a lot. Every comment means the world to me and I study your reactions and suggestions with great care.

    I find it fascinating that most people believe I look better in short skirts rather than longer ones. I certainly agree, but it flies in the face of convention for two reasons. First, because older women are supposed to let their hemlines drop lower -- and when they wear short skirts are usually criticized for acting inappropriate for their age. And second, because I'm (ostensibly) male and thus shouldn't possess attractive legs -- although I try to believe otherwise.

    Life is strange, isn't it? The things we think we know, we don't, and things we think are impossible come true...

    I am such a huge fan of ruching. I think everyone should wear clothes with ruching all the time.

    Yeah! I like it. The length is a bit odd but you still pull it off amazingly well. I think the length makes the look more interesting. Is it difficult to walk in?

    The feather boa is a great touch. I like the dress. The color is great. I would wear a long necklace with it for a bit of visual interest since the dress is a solid color and there's so much of it.

    You look great. How many wigs do you have? I love this one.

    Also, I love your kitchen!!!

    xoxo,

    Ashley, the material is a very soft, stretchy knit so, even though the bottom of the dress is very narrow, it expands comfortably and doesn't hobble you at all. I worried about that until I wore it and have no trouble moving around.

    I like the red colour and think the dress looks very good on you! Am I allowed to compliment your kitchen as well? I would never leave the place if I had a kitchen like that!

    My thoughts (in this order): 1. Great dress 2. Great colour 3. I wish I had your legs. Looking great in this - you can really pull off the formal look.
