One Dress, Two Dress, Red Dress, Blue Dress

Today on The Mod Little Melanin, I’ll be showcasing another one of my favorite online boutiques, Red Dress Boutique! Red Dress is a boutique based out of Georgia that sells affordable fashions for less. They offer a range of fashions, from comfy pajamas, to casual t-shirts, and even dresses that are perfect to wear to a military ball. The piece I am sharing today on The Mod Little Melanin, is a piece I had been eyeing for weeks, with no special occasion to wear the look. However, after realizing that my family was throwing a going-away party on my behalf before relocating to my new city, I knew I had to purchase this jumpsuit!

The Can You Believe This Cream Jumpsuit is a hot seller on reddressboutique.com, and is available in a few different colors, including cream, white and blush. I purchased this gorgeous jumpsuit in cream, as I felt that cream would be a suitable color that could be worn from spring through early fall. In my opinion, this jumpsuit is true to size, and the adjustable, tie back top is perfect to give each person the fit they desire. The ruffled top helps to provide modesty at the top of the jumpsuit. I added a tan bandeau underneath, as the jumpsuit is backless. 

When wearing this jumpsuit, you want to ensure that the focus remains on the ruffles of the jumpsuit. For this reason, I choose to wear statement earrings, and an assortment of statement rings on my fingers, skipping a necklace. Many boutiques offer a variety of statement earrings on their websites. However, they tend to be slightly overbudget for a broke medical student. Instead, you can find gorgeous statement earrings at Walmart by their trendy up-and-coming brand, Time and Tru. Most of the jewelry within their collection is under $5.00, and they offer a variety of pieces for each person’s fashion taste.

To complete this look, I added a pair of gladiator sandals that I’ve had in my closet for a few years. They’re a purchase from shophopes.com, and are my favorite heels to wear during the summer months. A bold red lip was the key to complete this look. My lipstick is available from Miss A for only $1.00! You can purchase my lipstick, AOA Wonder Matte Liquid Lipstick in the shade “Doll” at shopmissa.com!
