Black Lace & Red

This is the first holiday look I’ve blogged about and it’s one of my favorites. I love black lace and this dress is perfect for Christmas parties or other holiday events. I also paired this dress with black heels and a red coat since I love to wear red around Christmas.

I usually only wear red around Christmas, and since it’s such a bold color, it is important to know how to wear it. You don’t want to look too flashy, so when wearing a bright color, try to pair it with a neutral as well for some balance. Black and white are two great options to pair with a bright red.

I also used a cream purse to complete the look. I wanted to use a color other than black, so cream was the perfect neutral option. When choosing a bag to wear with an outfit, pick a color that would complement the main color scheme well. In the summer, I like to wear pops of bright colors, and in the winter, I like to complement my outfits with simple neutrals if my outfit is bright, and brights if my outfit is neutral.

Black is always a great way to go when shopping for a dress. It goes with everything, so it’s easy to find other things to match with it. There are so many different ways to wear this dress, but my favorite is with black tights and heels. The “all black” look makes it easy to add a pop of color, such as with the red coat.
