I have been sharing a lot of dressy outfits recently but I promise that I do go to work sometimes! ;) Getting dressed for work in the morning can sometimes be a bit of a challenge (I will always choose an extra 5 minutes of sleep!) but a brightly coloured dress is always an easy option. Sadly since I wore this gorgeous red dress our washing machine took offence and it has shrunk :( I did try and hunt down another one as I loved it so much but as it was a sale piece I wasn't able to replace it so this post will have to serve as a kind of eulogy! This dress reminds me of something Joan Holloway would wear, doesn't this outfit look like this Mad Men cartoon version of me I made way back when?!

Red is definitely my favourite colour, I love how unashamedly bold it is and how dramatic it looks against my hair. You know I can't resist a red lipstick and Max Factor's Colour Elixir Lipstick in Ruby Tuesday was the perfect match for both this dress and nail varnish (Essie Russian Roulette FYI)
I don't wear this ring all that often but this dress needed something to jazz it up and as this ring is less than subtle (understatement of the century) it was ideal!
