Valentine’s Day Outfit

February 5, 2013 No Comments

There’s something about Valentine’s Day that makes me want to wear a feminine and fun outfit. I even remember in middle school when my friend and I planned what we were going to wear and put our hair in foamed-roller ponytails the night before so that we’d have super curly ponytails the next day.

Fast forward almost 15 years and I still love to look especially cute on Valentine’s Day. Here’s a completely over the top Valentine’s Day outfit for you.

Red pants and a pink sweater are a bold look, but how fun is this if you could pull it off? The appropriately titled Merino Boyfriend Sweater from J.Crew is a little oversized and comfy, and looks great with a scarf (I know because I saw my sister wearing this sweater with a scarf in different colors a few weeks ago). And I LOVE this scarf. It reminds me of Andy Warhol’s Lips print. I really hope it goes on sale soon so that I can actually afford it. I’ve wanted the Kate Spade Locked In studs in gold for a while, but these pink ones are a lot of fun for Valentine’s Day. The watch is an affordable piece from Target and comes in many other colors (I think gold and leopard are especially cool), and the ring is from BaubleBar. If you’re looking for something more delicate, you could try other versions of the arrow ring–there are a ton on Etsy. The Printed Pointy flats from Gap look to be a cute and practical every day item. They come in other cute prints, including navy and white dots and leopard.

Of course, any one of these pieces individually would be a fun way to add a little Valentine’s Day to your wardrobe. If you want to see some other pieces that would be fun for Valentine’s Day but didn’t make it into this outfit, check out my So Stylish pin board on Pinterest.

Discount on Frye Boots

November 1, 2012 1 Comment

For the past two years, I’ve had issues with the sole of one of my Ciao Bella cognac riding boots. Someone accidentally stepped on the back of my heal and took off the rubber portion of the sole of the heal. I got it repaired, and it came off again. I got it repaired again, and it was fine for a while. And then it came off again when I was in Charlottesville. While these boots have served me well, they are looking pretty beat up at this point, and I don’t feel like paying to get them fixed again. Rather than dropping another $100 – $150 on poorly crafted boots that I’ll replace in a couple years again, I’ve been lusting over some high quality Frye leather riding boots. I especially love the Melissa Button Boot. I have, shall we say, “muscular” calves and pull on boots can be […]

My Search for the Perfect Leopard Flats

October 1, 2012 3 Comments

I’m not one to wear animal prints in my clothes very often, but I love an animal print accessory. Now that it’s fall and the air is getting cooler, it’s finally appropriate to break out the nice, deep leopard prints. I especially love leopard print shoes. This fall I’ve been on the lookout for the perfect leopard flat, but it’s been a lot harder than I’ve expected. I guess my criteria has been a little strict. I’d prefer something with a pointed toe, since it can be dressed up a bit more easily than a ballet flat, and looks great with pants, skirts, and dresses. While I’ve found a few contenders, my grad student budget has ruled some of them out already. Here’s a list of the shoes currently in the walking running.
