Introducing.... The Library Date Dress! This is the second dress in Red Velvet's Autumn 2011 Collection. Rachel chose this dress as her favorite, so I asked her to model three ways to wear it!
The Library Date Dress is our beloved chambray piece. It has short sleeves and is very comfy. Of all the dresses, this piece really reminds me of Autumn.
In Look 1, Rachel styled the dress with platform shoes, a skinny belt and colored tights. We never thought that colored tights would be one of our wardrobe staples, but they are! We love that they can add pops of color to a neutral look.
In Look 2, Rachel layered a red wrap skirt (c/o Simone's Rose) over her dress. This is a styling tip that I've been using more and more. Layering dresses is great because they can double as a top with a cute skirt!
For Rachel's third look, she kept it casual with a pair of boots, some pale pink tights and a comfy cardigan! This look has Autumn written all over it. This would be a perfect outfit to wear to the pumpkin patch or the apple orchard.
This is the second of ten new dresses that will be available on our website September 1st. Thank you Rachel for modeling these three looks! (Laurel is also modeling in the product photo) I'll be sharing more fall dresses all week! xo, elsie

I love this dress and how you styled it! I would have never thought to put a wrap skirt with a dress, but that's an awesome idea!
