Whether it’s a romantic getaway or a girls’ (gone wild) trip, there is always that one outfit that stands out from all the rest. For me, that usually means I’m wearing red and showing a little bit of leg. Red symbolizes confidence, energy, and passion, everything I want to exude in a given look. I felt like a million bucks but I didn’t need to spend more than twenty-five bucks on this dress. I pair red with gold accessories but on this occasion I added a touch of turquoise to tropical-ize my look:

• Forever 21 Elegant Maxi Dress in Red; $22.80
• Steve Madden ‘Stecy’ Sandal in Gold; $79.95
• MICHAEL Michael Kors Clear Clutch; (found at a storage auction) find similar style here and here.
• 14 karat Gold Bangles, $100 (Jeweler relocated to Miami), similar style here.
• Anna Dello Russo for H&M Gold and Turquoise drop earrings; $24.95  (Fall 2012 Collaboration, no longer available)

What color makes you feel confident?
