Valentine's Day Vibes

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

Boyfriend Jeans + Blazers

It took me two years to find the perfect boyfriend jeans. TWO YEARS. The struggle was beyond real. Either the jeans were not as baggy as I wanted, hence they weren't actually true boyfriend jeans (designers - take note please), or the waist was too tight or too loose. For a while I thought I'd never find a pair I liked. But when that glorious day came a few weeks ago, I could not have been more excited. I styled mine with an oversize white t-shirt, hot pink blazer and floral pumps. The pop of bright color and floral pattern add a feminine touch to the look, while the oversize t-shirt holds that relaxed, cool-girl feeling. To change up the look a bit, opt for a black and white striped shirt to pair under the blazer, or choose a crisp white button-front oxford, tucking in only the front. The key here is to keep the oversize look throughout; once a fitted shirt is paired with boyfriend jeans, it starts to look sloppy and uneven. Be patient; your perfect boyfriend jean is out there somewhere. But for now, I'll leave you with the wise words of my friend Katie..."Who needs a boyfriend when you have great boyfriend jeans?"
