Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas

Outfit 1: Top/Jeans/Earrings/Clutch/Pumps

Outfit 2: Top/Jeans/Earrings/Clutch/Flats

Outfit 3: Dress/Earrings/Clutch/Pumps

I hope your week is going well!  I've pulled together a few outfit options for Valentine's Day on Saturday no matter what your plans.  Outfit 1 is perfect for drinks with guy or gals.  This top is sexy without being too over the top as it is very covered up in the front.  I have a feeling that this beautiful pink dress in outfit 3 (from one of my new favorite labels Keepsake) is going to find its way into my closet.  It is perfect for a dressier dinner Valentine's Day date.  If you plans are more casual, maybe cooking at home (which sounds like my kind of date night), you can't go wrong with a great pair of jeans and a beautiful lace top.  

Which outfit would you wear for Valentine's Day?  Thanks for reading and have a great day!

I hope you had a great weekend!  It was beautiful and warm here so it was nice to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather.

Valentine's Day isn't a big holiday to me, but my friends and I normally get together for a girls night even if some of us are dating someone.  My friends are almost like another family to me and for me Valentine's Day is all about is celebrating important relationships, romantic or otherwise.  

This year, we are going to dinner and a movie and I will be wearing this (or something very similar...).  I love this rich red color since it feels appropriate for the holiday without being corny.  When planning I always look for something that I feel beautiful in but doesn't look like I'm trying too hard to impress (sorry friends!) and the mix of the silk shirt and ripped jeans hits the mark perfectly. 

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Happy Friday!! 

Do you ever have those days when you feel like crap and try to pull together a cute outfit that can make you feel great and like you might be able to take on the world?  Whenever I feel like crap, I always try to dress up because it makes me feel better.  This last month has been a slog at work as we worked to hit a deadline yesterday (which we did!!!), and there were some days I just felt like showing up in sweatpants after catching 4-6 hours of sleep.  (I'm a 7-8 hour girl.)  On those days, I would always reach for an outfit like this to make me feel better.  There is something about looking great (and a big cup of coffee) that makes me feel instantly better.  I sometimes would cheat and put a pair of flats in my bag though because the last thing my tired body wants is sore feet!  

I loved the color scheme from this outfit last week so much that I decided to reverse it.  I made this outfit a little more fun with a pair of fishnets that I've wanted to break out for a while.  I'm sorry they didn't show up that well in the pictures, but I love them and they keep the outfit from being too sweet.  Also, I find nude fishnets a lot easier to wear to work than black one (and I work in a very creative industry!).  

Now that we've finished this project, I'm going to take a long nap this weekend and try to recover from the lack of sleep over the last month!  What are you guys up to this weekend?  How do you make yourselves feel better when you really don't feel like getting dressed for work?

Have a great weekend!

What I Want... For Spring

1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11

Happy Friday!!  I know I'm not the only one ready for warmer temperatures and spring (or the weekend!), so I decided to pull together a list of some of the things I'm craving for spring.  As I've mentioned before, these list are dangerous for my wallet and I've already craved on these great BaubleBar earrings, which are on their way!

Shoes are obviously my weakness, so I of course started with the new shoes I hoping to get (on sale!).  I've already said how much I love these Stuart Weitzman gladiators and two Schutz sandals (here and here) in previous posts, but I'm also ready to give my feet a little bit of a break from the heels with these adorable leopard sneakers.  The print is smaller than some of the other leopard sneakers I've seen and they will be perfect with shorts, casual skirts, jeans, anything!

As you can see, my mind has already well on the way to summer and the beach, with these jean cutoffs and printed shorts.  Thankfully my office has summer Fridays, so hopefully I will be able to sneak away for a weekend or two at the beach.  I got into shorts last summer with a really cute printed pair from J. Crew (here), and it is time to add to the collection (of 1).  If I were more skilled, I would make my own pair of cutoffs, but my scissors, sewing and I don't really go together, so Rag & Bone is here to the rescue.

The last thing I'm trying to incorporate for spring/summer is color.  I currently wear a lot of black and white, but this pink top might be a good way to get out of my black and white comfort zone.  Baby steps, I guess...

What's on your spring wish list?
