Some Dresses Are Meant to Be–Especially this Little Red Dress!

Little Red Dress 8

This little red dress was seriously meant to be. About a month ago, we were downtown for a movie, and afterwards we stopped at our flagship H&M. On display was this cute little red dress, but unfortunately, it was already sold out. I almost picked up a drapey shirt dress in the same color, but then was like, Nah, not special enough. Then, just this weekend I went to my local little H&M. I was on my way out when the guy putting away the clothes had this one dress in his hands! Woah! Stop for a minute. I grabbed it and brought it to the cash register without even trying it on. See, it’s the little red dress that was meant to be!

Because this dress is so wide, I gave myself a waist with the belt. I’m full figured on top, so cinching this dress provides me with a waist. Just to see the difference, I have a few pictures without the belt. It did feel a bit tent-like, but I can imagine for the beach, pool, or dock, no belt would be necessary–the belt would only be an extra accessory I would not want to deal with. Styling it both ways just proves the versatility of this dress!

I found a Little Red Dress for You!

I checked the H&M online shop just to see if by chance it’s still available, but unfortunately it is not. I did however find several very similar different options. A little red dress will be the perfect summer ensemble for you: think barbecues, park concerts, or road trips. Throw on your little red dress, and you are good to go!

    1. I know right! I finally just pulled these babies out. There’s this fashionista, Instagram maven named Shalice Noel–I saw them first on her IG feed. I had to have them! They’re simple little guys from Forever 21. Every now and then (well actually more often than not), that high fashion street shop delivers. Such as the case with these strappy straps. I’m such a tennis shoe wearer in every day life, but maybe I could wear these more often.

      Thanks for stopping by and commenting Ruth! Love, Ann

  1. oh yes, it’s a fabulous Little Red Dress!! love it!!, and you look absolutely cool and summery and gorgeous wearing it, both ways!, love how it looks cinched with a belt, but also when it flows free and looks pretty relaxed!!

    1. Thank you Senora All Nut! I do feel lucky that we found one another–at long last! I love it too when I can just grab something and know it will work without even entering the dressing room. Yep, some things are just meant to be!! Do you have an LRD?

      Love, Ann

  2. This dress is still in the H&M stores here, Annie.

    I like it belted too…and your lips…perfecto!
    Those sandals….loving them!!!

    1. Oh cool! It sold out so fast over here Samantha! That’s why I jumped on the guy when he had one in his hand. And it was a size 8–which I’m usually not, but this dress was huge. I think I could have even gone to a 6–wow, isn’t that great for the ego!!

      And yes, it’s like a red orange. I wasn’t sure which color to call it. Rorange! How’s that!? Hahaha. For my lips I wore NARS Heat Wave which again is like the perfect RORANGE lip color. What do you think of my new word!? I love it!! Hahah.

      The sandals are my treasure. I saw them on the very influential Shalice Noel last spring–so a year ago, and I waited patiently for them to get back in stock on Forever 21 and then I pounced. I do love them. I think they might have them again because they are so popular. I will check for you.

      Love, Annie

  3. This colour is an absolute dream on you Ann! seriously stunning. I think this *may* be my most favourite outfit of yours. The sandals and the attention to detail with the accessories is perfection

  4. Ann, I am a sucker for a pretty red dress and yours is divine. I love the bohemian vibes it has, the off-the-shoulder look and eyelet material. Want to give it to me for my birthday coming soon?
