None Of Your Ribbons And Bows For Me

When I slipped into this dress in the morning I instantly felt like a lady. Red lipstick seemed like a natural choice to pair it with and I trotted out of the house feeling like a ginger Doris Day...and then I was out of the house. While red lips don't seem like an especially big deal to me, it seems like most people I encounter treat it as something unusual. Or at least that is what I am guessing from the number of stares and wide-eyed looks I received (and many of these were from women, mind you!). I simply don't understand society some days; what is the head-turner in this look?
A wee review of the dress: I love the light, but sturdy feel of the fabric and it has a nice, nude toned lining. I did have to punch another hole in the belt to make it fit properly, but the dress itself fits like a dream and has pockets.
