WIWW - Valentines!

As I preluded last week, I wore my red dress with an aqua cardigan - I am loving that color combo this holiday season!
more on this look after the break....


I think it's a great way to get a totally different look.  I bought the dress as a Christmas Dress (from eShakti - you know I love them), but I think with the aqua it doesn't say Holiday as much.  I can't find a picture of just me in the dress in Holiday Mode, but you can see it in our family picture:

And that aqua cardigan gets plenty of use - I think the hand-stamped hearts makes it more fun and the "crafty" in me loves to wear something that I've crafted.  I wore this to take a picture for the tutorial post, but I plan to wear it again for Valentine's Day:
I got those jeans at Goodwill Outlet - I didn't have a "distressed" pair, so I went for it (and plus, when clothes are $0.79 a pound, I can't say no!) and I'm really liking them.  The coral bow belt is from One Little Belt (when you know a kid belt maker, you can get one in small adult size - bonus!) - nothing cuter than a baby in a belt, so check out her shop.

Do you plan outfits around holidays??

  2. That is such a darling cardigan, and I love it paired with the red dress. Such an unexpected look, but still super appropriate for Valentine's!

  3. You know, Mandy, sometimes I do plan outfits around holidays. Primarily the winter holidays...Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years. I always wear something special. Valentines, not so much. Hubby's taking me for a romantic night out to see Die Hard (LOL)...I'll wear something with jeans. Don't own pink. Red may work.

    Happy Valentine's Day! ♥

  7. Love the dress and the cute sweater! The hearts are sweet, without being over-kill. I love it!

    My Valentine's wardrobe will be as follows: scour laundry for something red and clean. The end. =)
