I picked this dress up off the sale racks at Sportsgirl about six months ago. My body is long, so I struggle to find cinched dresses that sit 'right' on me...they should sit around your waist, but on me they always sit a little closer to my hips. This dress isn't quite perfect in that regard (although it does come close!), but the side panelling definitely helps make it more flattering.
I love the length of it, and the way it can easily look so different depending on what shoes I pair it with. We were doing a lot of walking this day, so I chose to wear combat boots.
I love the neckline, and the way my necklace sits on it...
I also love that up close you can see the intricate flower detaling in the fabric, making it more than just a standard red dress.
Quilted Doc Martens....these are probably my favourite shoes at the moment. Bit of a shame they're slightly uncomfortable in the heat...
