Styling the Basics - the red dress

Introducing Danielle, stylist for Rubies on Vanilla!
















The moment I set eyes on this dress I knew it would be a perfect addition to my closet as the color, shape and fabric are all easily adaptable to every season.  Once I put it on and it fit perfectly without the help of a seamstress, it was mine!  The dress lends itself so easily to layering which is perfect for transitioning spring and summer dresses into fall staples.  Because of the fitted structure of the dress, I knew it would also easily transition from day to night.  Just by switching shoes and accessories, you can see how this dress can be worn from work to happy hour.
