Happy Friday! I’ve already mentioned the change of temperature a few times this week but agree the warm temperatures in Italy the cold Autumn in England has hit me hard. That said, there should still be a few more “light jacket days” and I will share a few more outfits like this before it is time to bundle up. While many of you agreed with me that open toe shoes need to go away at the end of the month I think you can wear flats year round, including these patent ones! I wrote a whole post about these shoes and this is a different version of my Red Dress on the London Canals though it features the same belt and shoes!
I did share a sneak peek a few weeks ago on Insta with the caption: It was supposed to rain all weekend but we made it to 2pm Sunday without a drop – perfect for outdoor brunch and few errands. I still agree with this statement and I particularly like this statement bag – when I first got it in 2013 I was worried the color was going to be too bold and now I am in the opposite camp – by that I mean I just bought another red bag in Italy! This dress is one that would be perfect for the office but that’s not going to be the case for me, for many more months at least. However, I am still trying to get dressed for the workday in thanks similar to what I would’ve worn to the office. The dress came with a belt but I didn’t care for it so I switched it out with this one that packs more of a statement, don’t you think?

What a stylish dress with a cute belt. Love the red bag. Perfect date night dress. For some dresses flats are fine but this dress deserves your best and highest heel.

What a super flattering dress. Wish I had that little number in my closet right now. The belt is a nice touch. Normally I don’t like belted dresses but this one is just the right touch.
Of course a huge fan of the bag.

Such a cute simple and elegant outfit and accessories Kelly.
In a few of those photos you remind me of Princess Kate, how appropriate that you are in London with her.
Love the look.
