Valentine’s Day Outfit

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.

Sweater | Pants | Earrings | Scarf | Watch | Ring | Shoes

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

Favorite iPhone 5 Cases

A few months ago, I finally got an iPhone (yay!). I wanted one for long time, but was waiting to upgrade when my family renewed our contract (yes, I’m still on the family plan). Initially I bought a plain black case, and hunted for one for a while until I finally ordered a jazzy one right before the New Year. Here are some of my favorites: 1 | 2 | 3 1 | 2 | 3 1 | 2 | 3 I am impressed by Target’s on-trend selection, but my favorite source is Society6. They just have such a huge selection. I found them through Jen Ramos’ Made By Girl Shop, which linked to it for her iPhone Case in Colors 201. She actually has three of her Cocoa & Hearts paintings available in iPhone Cases (not just the one that you see on her website). I can’t speak to the […]
