Red Lacey Dress by Marilyn

Remember for Valentine's day when I said I found a few dresses and couldn't decide on which one to go with, so I bought both? I didn't end up posting this one for V-day because I was wanting a different look for this one. I felt it was more appropriate to bust this dress out for a day in the city. We decided to go out and explore the tops of Oklahoma City recently and have fun snapping a few photos.
I paired this red lace dress with nude heels and a white bobble necklace. I love dresses and bright colors. So I decided to go with neutral shoes and jewelry. When you wear a color that seems 'loud,' it's a good idea to balance it out with some neutral colors by accessorizing with these (i.e. black, white, gray, tan).
The thing I love about this dress the most is the lace detail. I have a hard time resisting lace in general. It's such a wonderful classic element that will never go out of style. 
It really brightens my day to take risks with how I dress. Don't be afraid to wear some bright colors and lace this spring! You might be surprised at how much you like it.
We really enjoyed this fun shoot downtown. Get out this weekend and enjoy some city life friends!
