Valentine's Day Looks

 
Oops.  My regular Friday post didn't go up yesterday so here it is today.  Valentine's day is just around the corner and I've been inspired to pull out some of my old favorites to play and wear to work.  The first and obvious color that comes to mind is RED, so I've styled two different looks with that inspiration.  


1.  Velvet Red:   It's been so cold here so this cozy red velvet sweater was perfect for a work outfit with black pants.  Casual, cozy and looks on trend.  I had so many complements, because the velvet throws off so much shimmer and shine.    The second outfit is what I might wear for a Valentine's day dinner.  


 


2.  Red Dress:  This dress is probably the second oldest piece of clothing in my closet.  I purchased it early into my career and just love it.  It's my POWER house dress.  BOSS babe dress.  I reach for this dress whenever I need a little confidence boost.  Though I don't wear it much anymore, it brings back memories and somehow in Marie Kondos words it actually "sparks joy" for me.  Anyway, a few years ago I styled it here with a blazer and cardigan.

 






3.  What to Wear?  This year we will be in Mexico for Valentine's Day so help me decide what to wear to dinner that evening,  pink romper, or midi-pleated skirt?  (sorry the indoor picturs is not ideal, but it's way too cold to get outside.) 

Tell me in the comments below which one you would choose?

    1. Aren't they the best, especially in the dead of winter?

  3. I can't decide. I love both outfits, but the second would be my pick for a dinner.

    Happy V Day!

    1. I am thinking you are right. One will be for an a la carte and the other for drinks one night.

  6. Okay so I am biased because I love rompers! I would definitely vote for the romper! The color is gorgeous and since it has lace, if that doesn't scream Valentine's, I don't know what will! Have a great time in Mexico and I am looking forward to your adventures! Happy Valentine's Day!
