Red Alert

If anyone ever described a dress to me by saying it was low-cut and ruffled down the front, my first instinct would be, well, disinterest at best. Yet that's an apt description of this Geren Ford dress, and I'm totally smitten. When I hear the word "ruffle," I picture something horrifying and princessy, but the ones that cascade down the front of this dress are somehow so cool and unprissy. And its true the cut is kind of daring, but you could tone it down nicely with some simple black round-toe flats. Then there's the color: I just think this shade of red is so rich and beautiful—and every wardrobe needs at least one perfect red dress.
