Happy Valentine's Day!!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope that you all are having a fabulous Valentine's Day full of love, happiness and lots and lots of chocolate. Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to over indulge on chocolate to the point of almost puking and/or hating yourself. I try to avoid this scenario every year but like clock work I always manage to eat just one cupcake or one truffle too many! Some people never learn, do they?

Anyways, today I am bringing you this lovely outfit that I quite obviously planned for Valentine's Day. The kid in me has always wanted to do a shoot with balloons and viola! Cupid ain't got nothin' on me. I'm definitely feeling the love today. I'm also feeling pretty and chic in my white a-line dress.

The back of this dress is my favorite. I absolutely  love open backs or unexpected back details because it adds so much character to the outfit. It is always a plus when you can make a fabulous statement entering and exiting a room.

Valentine's Day Outfit

Shut up and Kiss me

This is my take on a casual chic Valentine's Day outfit. I can wear this outfit to the office, to lunch and then change into something a tad more elegant for dinner. I'm no stranger to an outfit change. I enjoy the process of choosing and wearing outfits. I've noticed that I address outfits for holidays the same way I  approach dressing up for themed parties. I spend way too much time obsessing over the perfect outfit and I always try to pay homage to the special day. I admit that I will find just about any excuse to play dress up and nothing constitutes playing dress up quite like themed parties and holidays. I think Kate Spade said it best when she said, "Dress up begins at age five and never truly ends."

Thanks so much for dropping by and checking out my Valentine's Day outfit post. I can hardly believe that Valentine's Day is only a few days away. Good thing I've already picked out my outfits because I'm sure that will take some stress out of my busy day.

What are your Valentine's Day/Night plans?

Fierce LOVE

Here is my edgy take on a Valentine's Outfit. It is casual sexy with a whole lot of attitude and just a dash of cuteness. Not gonna lie, I felt like a total bad ass in this outfit. The LOVE tank is a conscious nod to Valentine's Day without being cheesy or juvenile. This is the perfect outfit for a Valentine's Date at a bar, concert event or for that anti-Valentine's Day gathering that your girlfriend's are throwing. 

Given the muscle shirt cut to my LOVE tank I decided to wear my black lace bralette from Wet Seal. This sexy little detail adds a feminine touch and takes away my fear of a wardrobe malfunction. Plus showing off a lace bralette is a whole lot better than having a standard bra hanging out of your shirt. One of my pet peeves is seeing any part of a normal bra showing. So skip that fashion faux pax and purchase some lace bralettes. You'll get plenty of use out of classic colors like black, white and nude and for some excitement you can buy one or two in your fave bright colors. Nowadays you can find very inexpensive lace bralettes in every shade of the rainbow so there is no excuse for letting your dingy everyday bra hang out. Just saying. Ok, my rant on this pet peeve is over. Carry on.
