I'm Recognisable As the Girl In Scarlet

I have this dress that I adore. I bought it the day after my boyfriend dumped me, and my judgement may have been slightly impaired. Unusually for me, I remember it quite clearly. I was with a friend, and she was treating me gently in case I dissolved into tears again. It caught my eye – it’s scarlet, with a neck down to here and a hem up to there, so it was difficult to miss – and I asked her what she thought and she said carefully that I should try it on if I really liked it. It’s funny, but looking back I can see so clearly how much she disapproved, but at the time I took her words at face value. She must have been shocked, though. I wear calf length skirts in blue and brown and nice floral print. But d’you know the funny thing? I’ve had that dress for years now, and it’s absolutely me, down to the bone. It suits all kinds of events and all kinds of accessories work well with it - from evening bags to scarves. Sometimes you have to switch off your better judgement to find out what really suits you.
