I’m usually not one to wear mid length dresses, but I thought this one was so pretty and elegant, that I went for it. When I first started walking around in it, I’ll admit that I felt like a giant tomato, but now after seeing all of the photos we took, I love the mid length look and think it’s the ultimate, elegant red dress. “Midi” dresses normally make me look and feel even shorter than I already am, where as those on the shorter side, or full length ones, do the opposite. This dress is in a size XS and it still was pretty large. I actually have a chip bag clip in the back to make it a little tighter, lol. I’ll definitely have to have my mom or grandma take it in for me so I can wear it for an actual occasion, but for these, the chip clip had to do. (You can actually spot it in the second to last photo, and I totally just realized it.)

    These photos are absolutely gorgeous! I love the dress (and you don’t look at all like a giant tomato. lol!)! The photos are so stunning, do you mind if I ask what editing software you use? I can’t seem to get my photos to be as crisp as yours!

      Thanks so much, Jess!! I use Lightroom 6! I also have the VSCO filters for Lightroom uploaded on the program, so I first decide on a filter that will change the color up/make the photo a little more exciting, and then I work with lighting and sharpening through Lightroom :)

    • Hayley Larue says:

      I know I already replied to this, BUT I just remembered how I had an issue last year with getting my photos to look crips and clear! Retina Display computer screens make most photos look fuzzy, since pixels are doubled, so for example… I use the size of 620px for my blog photos, but I have to upload them at 1240px, and then resize to 620 within the post so that the photos are retina display friendly. Hope that helps!! <3
