Today marks the beginning of February, which means Valentine's Day is just around the corner. The status of your dating life doesn't need to determine how much red and pink you wear in the next two weeks though. Have a significant other? Awesome; here's a date night outfit idea with a little edge...Single? Just as well; here's an outfit to rock on Valentine's Day before you treat yourself to a nice bottle of vino...These red dress pants from Gap are probably the most comfortable that I've found, and I just snagged my BCBG pumps off the clearance rack at DSW for $20!! It was "shoe love" at first sight. I decided to pair these with a sleeveless maxi blazer. To say maxi blazers have been hot this season is an understatement, and they're an extremely versatile piece to have in your closet on top of that! If red pants aren't your style, try a black tshirt dress with red strappy heels for a pop of color, or a pink lace blouse with white destructed denim. Links to similar styles below! xoxo

It's All in the Details

The small details are what takes an outfit from good to great, such as the fringe at the bottom of this Taylor & Sage Cardigan, or the gold heel on these Sam Edelman pumps (although I wouldn't advise walking around in them on icy, snow-covered roads). These details add another element to the look, and provide for a fun, interesting twist. Fringe has been extremely popular this year, whether it's found on that statement leather bag you've been drooling over, or on the sleeves of the LBD that just arrived in your size. If you get a chance, experiment with this trend! I chose to pair my fringe cardigan (which is beyond soft, btw) with a boyfriend tshirt and high-waisted skinny jeans. For the final touch, I added a monogram necklace from anthropologie and dyed cow hair pumps from Sam Edelman. Links below - happy shopping loves!
