Summer is all about the little white dress. But since July 4th is just around the corner, I figured this week I’d celebrate the little red dress. While the color is normally focused on during the holiday season, a red dress can work equally well during warmer months. Here are my picks:

1. Kate Spade (as worn by Kelly Ripa), $578
2. Urban Outfitters, $79
3. ASOS, $66.28
4. Alice + Olivia, $396

Stay tuned to see how I wear my Kate Spade dress three ways in the week’s Staples Series!
