Last Minute Valentine's Day Look

Finding the right gift on Valentine's Day can be difficult, but figuring out what to wear can sometimes be even more of a challenge. Most Valentine's day themed clothing is cheesy and over-the-top, and it can be hard to find a red or pink top/dress that you love when time is running out. A simple solution is to get a little creative with what's already in your closet! Many times, a summery dress can be "winterized" just by adding a layer underneath. I blogged about this dress a few months ago when the weather was still bearable enough to wear by itself. Today, I threw on a black long sleeve turtleneck and tights, and the dress was completely transformed. Now, I'm able to be festive without sacrificing my warmth this Valentine's Day, and at no extra cost. Who doesn't like that?! Happy shopping loves! xoxo

I've always been one to push the limits a little bit and try new things when it comes to fashion. My latest "experiment" was layering dresses - why wear one dress when you can wear two?! I found this pink button up dress late last fall on clearance at Ann Taylor (I find the best deals you guys!!), and that's when the idea originally came to mind. The pink dress is about 3 sizes too big, but when worn completely unbuttoned and as a vest/layering piece over this white dress, size really doesn't matter. This adds a fun pop of color to my outfit, and is a great way to elevate a basic cotton dress. Oh, and I can't forget - it's also really fun to spin around in while wearing if you're still five years old at heart like me :).

I say this quite often, but don't be afraid to experiment and try new things with your wardrobe! It's a great way to expand your closet without spending any extra money. Happy shopping loves! xoxo
