I love breaking out the bright colors in the spring and summer. I suppose it comes from so many months of cloudy winter weather – during which time my outfits often blend in with the landscape – lots of gray, black, and navy, sometimes with a pop of bright color but usually just in an accessory.  I’ll be honest, this dress first caught my eye online because of the price (around $36 after the discount) but I also really loved the color. Colors can be deceiving online, but the dress arrived in the same bright red orange I was expecting. Although it’s a little bit shorter than what I would usually wear for work attire, I think the longer length in the back and loose fit make it appropriate for more causal functions (I wore this to two separate evening work events in the span of a week).
