Red dresses are a fairly versatile outfit, so a variety of shoes can match with them. Make sure to pick shoes in a matching similar shade of red, or in a neutral color like black or white.  If you want high heels, you can wear kicks, wedges, or stilettos with a red dress. This can work well for more formal occasions. These may work well for a more formal occasion, like a cocktail party, or for a fun night out. If you want something more casual, flats, sandals, or even flip-flops can pair with a red dress. These would work for a more casual social event or for every day wear around your office. Red and white can be a stunning and somewhat preppy color combination. When choosing accessories, consider the red/white pairing, especially for warmer months where lighter colors are in style.  You can wear something like a white blazer or cardigan over your red dress. Try white jewelry. A v-neck red dress may look great with a string of white pearls. Try a white scarf or hat with a red dress if going for an outdoor event. Black, gold, and silver are shades traditionally paired with red. This can be stunning for a more formal occasion. It can also work great if lighter colors, like white, are not in style for the season.  Solid metal jewelry can go great with a red dress. For example, try gold studs in your ears or a silver bracelet with a red dress. You can incorporate black tights with a red dress, or something like a black blazer or cardigan. Some dresses work well with a belt around the middle. Try wearing a gold, silver, or black belt with your red dress. As a general rule, your lipstick should match your dress when you're dressed in red. Try to find a lipstick that is more or less the same color as your red dress. An exact match may not be possible but try to find a close approximation of your dress's shade. However, if you're doing bold makeup elsewhere, such as your eyes, a neutral lipstick is preferred. A bold colored dress and bold makeup elsewhere may be overpowering when paired with bright red lipstick. Remember, red is a bold color. If you're wearing a red dress, you want to tone down your makeup. Go for natural shades of eye shadow and minimize use of mascara and eyeliner. You should also only add a light layer of things like foundation, concealer, and bronzer. Red dresses can be great at formal parties. At these events, however, do not over accessorize as this can look tacky or gaudy. Stick to one or two classy accessories and let the dress be the main draw of your outfit.  For example, wear an elegant red evening gown with a gold chain necklace and gold stud earrings. You can also try something like a nice watch or bracelet. Try a belt or scarf as an accessory if you're not into jewelry.

Use an opaque material that completely blocks out light, like cardboard or a tarp, to cover the area where you want to remove your sod. Depending on your climate, it may take several months before the grass dies.  If you live in a humid environment, paper products like cardboard might decay or disintegrate. If the weather report calls for rain, you may want to use a plastic tarp, instead. Avoid using sun blockers that have had colored ink on them. This kind of ink can be harmful to the balance of your soil and surrounding plant life. Wind, animals, or other natural forces might cause your sun blocker to move out of place. To prevent this from happening, you should use heavy objects, like large stones or bricks, to hold your sun blocker in place. Put your weights around the perimeter of your sun blocker. Even small amounts of sunlight filtering in from the edges can prolong the amount of time it takes for your sod to die of light deprivation. If you've waited long enough, your sod may be mostly decayed and require little extra effort on your part to remove. If you need the sod removed in a more timely fashion, first wait until the sod is dead. Then remove it with a shovel.  You can check whether or not the sod has died by looking under your sun blocker periodically. When the sod has turned completely brown or yellow and has no green remaining, it is dead. Sod that is dead will not grip the soil as strongly as sod that is still living. Killing the sod first with light deprivation will make it easier to remove with a shovel or garden tools.

You can install a waterfall on a natural slope or hill, or you can dig out the slope yourself. Alternately, if the soil or foundation you're digging into is difficult to excavate, consider building the stream above ground using a combination of rocks and gravel as your base. How much of a slope will you need? The absolute minimum slope you need is a 2 inch (5cm) drop for every 10 feet (3m) of stream. Of course, the steeper the slope, the faster the water runs and the louder the sound of the waterfall. You want your lower basin, which sends water back up to the top of the waterfall, to be located near an electrical source so that you don't have to string an unsightly extension cord across your otherwise pristine garden. Knowing just how much water passes through your stream and waterfalls will help you determine how large your upper pool and lower basin need to be. (You don't want your garden overflowing when you turn the pump off.) Here's how do to that:  First, estimate the amount of water that passes through a linear foot of your stream.  If your stream is relatively small — say it's about 2 to 3 feet (0.6 to 0.9 m) wide and 2 to 3 inches deep — estimate about 5 gallons (18.9 L) of water per linear foot. Add to or subtract from that estimate depending on the size and depth of your proposed stream. Next, measure the total stream capacity. Measure out how many linear feet your entire stream takes up. Now, simply make sure that either your upper pool or lower basin holds more than the total stream capacity.  So if your stream capacity is 100 gallons (378.5 L), a 50 gallon (189.3 L) basin and a 200 gallon (757.1 L) pool will easily accommodate the stream. Generally, waterfalls contain three different sizes of stone: boulders, or larger stones, which frame the waterfall(s); rocks, or medium-sized stone, which serve as the connecting stones; and gravel, which fills in the bottom of the stream and in between cracks and crevasses.  Visit a "rock," "quarry," or "gravel and stone" dealer in person to get a feel for what kinds of stones your waterfall might enjoy. This is a much more reliable way of getting exactly what you want, as opposed to merely ordering a kit and hoping that the stones are ones that will look good in your backyard. Here's what you can expect to order when it comes time to buying stones for your waterfall:  1.5 - 2 tons of large (12 - 24 inches) boulders for upper pool and lower basin, plus 2 - 6 tons extra for 10 feet (3.0 m) portions of stream that are above ground .75 ton of medium (6 - 24 inches) rocks per 10 feet (3.0 m) of stream .5 ton of small (.5 - 2 inches) gravel per 10 feet (3.0 m) of stream, plus 1 - 2 tons for the upper pool and lower basin each
