If you can be green with envy, can you be red with love?  We went to Milwaukee this weekend to witness my oldest friend get married, and it was such a beautiful wedding filled with so much love.  I've been friends with this girl since the summer before 1st grade!  It was amazing to share this milestone with her and her family.

I figured it was the perfect occasion for the inaugural wear of my anniversary gift from Patrick.  With shoes like those, you need to center your whole outfit around them!  I turned to Rent the Runway to find a fun black dress for the occasion.  I've used RTR many times before (seen here, here and here) and have had great success.  I finished the ensemble off with my favorite bold red lip color and was good to go.

Hope you had a great weekend!
