I tend to shy away from bright colors and I rarely mix different shades on my own. This red and blue maxi dress, sent to me by the lovely lady behind the shop Bella Fusion, has convinced me otherwise. Combining two primary colors seems so simple that I can't believe I never thought to do it on my own. Bonus? Bella Fusion is all about giving back, and so for every piece purchased from their site $1 is donated to the Because I Am A Girl foundation, which address the issue of gender discrimination around the world by promoting female rights. I just love shopping for a cause, don't you?
