Red & Croc

I found it: the perfect summer dress. Isn’t it wonderful? I’ve loved Nina Egli’s beautiful dresses for years so when she asked if I wanted to take some photos in her My Song dress last fall, I was into it. When she showed me her summer collection and asked if I’d want to do it again, I was so excited.

The collection is beautiful, but my heart beats for this dress and this dress alone. It’s stunning—it’s in the most breathaking red and hugs every curve just the right way. (Who said thick folks can’t rock a wrap dress?) I can’t wait to wear it with some flats as I head out to brunch and the farmer’s market, or with some heels and sparkly jewelry for a night out. It’s ideal for any occasion—save for maybe a work function. I don’t think my coworkers need to see this much of me.

Remind me again why it took me so long to fearlessly rock the color red? Or why I’m generally averse to ruffles in the breast area? Because, damn, I love this dress.
