I have been working on this outfit for a while, seeing it slowly come together until all the pieces finally fell into place. I started, of course, with the little red dress itself. Then it occurred to me to try layering a top underneath, and that’s how I came up with my striped dress, which, because of how tight it is, worked well and didn’t bunch up. Next, I had to figure out which blazer to wear. At first I had selected the gray one from Ann Taylor, but ended up liking this black tuxedo version much better. Lastly, I went with with nude fishnets, black oxfords and black and gold accessories to maintain continuity. I’ll admit that I really love this outfit and wish that instead of being next to the Hudson, I was taking photos along the Seine about to enjoy a picnic of brie, bread and wine. Ah well, maybe someday soon…
