Got a small understated party to go to. Lots I feel different people ( no one type). I have a bright red winter dress with long sleeves and a deep v.
Looks lovely on but is it too Christmas now that Christmas is over. Is it all sparkles and sophistication in the anew a Year lead in?

I wear red dresses all the time. It looks great with my complexion.

I don't disagree with the red. However if it's a small understated do, a bright red plunge neckline dress might be a bit much no?

If you feel good in it wear it.

AryaStarkWolf · 28/12/2019 19:02

People wear red all year round. .

Depends. Are you going to team it with a Santa hat? Does it have reindeer on it? If so, then no don’t wear it. If it’s a nice dress that happens to be red, then what’s the issue?!

Sounds fine - I too wear red all the time.

DramaAlpaca · 28/12/2019 19:03

Of course wear it if you love it & it suits you.

Red is for life, not just for Christmas.

Today is only the 4th day of Christmas so it's still Christmas.

Red can be worn any time of year.

Wear it. It’s not time sensitive to wear to any colour... well maybe not white to a wedding unless you are the bride.

Leflic · 28/12/2019 22:46

I went sparkly.

Not a single person had red on.

I’ll be back in it once people don’t think it means I ‘m dressing like Santa. Cheers all.

I've never associated red with Christmas, I didn't know anyone did..

ferntwist · 28/12/2019 23:22

Sounds gorgeous, wear it!

ferntwist · 28/12/2019 23:23

Waaa so sorry I didn’t click to the last page - you did say quick in your title! Glad you wore it.

ferntwist · 28/12/2019 23:23

Haha I mean didn’t wear it. Glad you felt good!

IT IS STILL CHRISTMAS.

We're on the fourth day of Christmas today. Eight to go. Wear the dress.

VestaTilley · 28/12/2019 23:48

Christmas isn't over. It's day 4 of 12. Google it.

Also: wear whatever you like.
