We took these pictures last week right before our movie date… in the rain. If you know me in real life, you know that I DESPISE the rain. It's because my hair is naturally curly, and when I straighten those curls the rain does not agree with my decision to make my hair straight. I'm sure that's why I look a bit disgruntled, and the pictures are dark and gray, but hey- it's a blog, and I can style an outfit, but I can't change the weather. So here are my rainy, grey day pictures in my warm and fuzzy leopard coat. (P.S. I really want to wear this coat with boyfriend jeans and a white or black top and strappy heels... I would actually prefer to style it that way versus a dress. Weird? I think not.)

Happy Valentine's Eve! I'm posting this video/outfit post because this is the ideal thing I'd wear on a Valentine's day date! Now, don't get me wrong, I love the traditional pink and red outfits- but to be honest, there are times where I don't want to be gimmicky, and I'd rather go for a bit of class! In my opinion, the subtle pop of pink of holiday-ish enough for me! There's lots of gems sprinkled within this outfit. The first being this sequin shirt. I love how I can layer it, wear it on it's own. Dress it up with a skirt, or dress it down with dark denim! The second gem is this gorgeous skirt. I wore it last week with a denim shirt and loved how flowy and fun the outfit was… but it's so versatile that I can also feature it as a statement in this romantic outfit! What's your ideal Valentine's outfit? Traditional pink or red? Or something glam/romantic? Thanks so much for reading!

p.s. special thanks to my wonderful Husband, J for filming and editing the video. He is truly a natural talent and I'm so lucky to have an aspiring photographer/videographer for a soul mate.
