Valentine's Day Look :: red dress

Monday, February 9, 2015

Embrace the sweet colors of the season and dress festively chic from head to toe. Valentine's Day is all about feeling the love so why not inject that spirit into your special V-Day look? 
A whole lot of red, a pop of white, and a dash of pink spells L-O-V-E in every language.  
Not feeling the formalities of a crisp blazer? No problem! A simple red dress never looked so charming. I chose to dress mine up with pink accessories, but straight up gold pieces do the trick too. 
This candy-hued Kate Spade necklace is my absolute favorite color; it's bursting with energy and playfulness! 
I think my colored bangles add a fun finishing touch. 
Spice up any look with a punch of leopard; it's the wear-now neutral that always promises a chic flair.

The second look in my Valentine's Day style installation is classic, festive, and ultra feminine. What's more universal than a red dress on Valentine's Day? Yes, it's expected, but that doesn't mean you can't make it your own.  

If you don't already own an LRD (little red dress), this is the perfect time to snatch one up. Style it with your prettiest accessories and wear it out on the most romantic night of the year. Bonus: studies show that men perceive women who wear red as sexier, more attractive, and more adventurous than their non-red-wearing counterparts. So go ahead, embrace the trend!
