The absolute best part of Valentine's Day for me is that a lot of fashion with hearts pops up! I love heart prints! I don't remember how far back my interest goes, but I remember being about 18 and getting my first decent cell phone (the original Razr!) and my first case for it was a black case with rainbow hearts all over it and I loved it to death. After that whenever I'd see heart prints, I'd snatch it up if I could, even if I didn't like the color much.
Sweater: Target // Skirt/Tights: Asos // Boots: Steve Madden //
Anatomical Heart Necklace: Wicked Clothes // Earrings: Forever21
That's kind of what happened here. I hadn't wanted to spend money on something to wear for Valentine's Day, especially when I didn't have "real" plans with my boyfriend (we're broke and a fancy evening is out of the question). But then my mother emailed me saying she had the day off, and I basically forced her into being my Valentine! At first it just started with plans to eat a lot of ice cream while we watched our jilted lovers crime shows, but of course, I had to go and make everything complicated and planned an entire day for us.
I had to put the outfit together fast! I don't own a lot of red or pink. Red because I'm not sure I like it on me, and pink, while I love it, I can never seem to find anything pink that also suits my style as well. As I was shopping at Target for tons of candy, I saw this sweater, with its heart prints and couldn't get it out of my mind (even though peach has never been my color). I went back on 3 trips before finally deciding to grab it for myself. I had originally planned more red in the outfit with some shoes, but I didn't quite like the way it looked.
Anyway, since my last outfit post, my boyfriend has helped me figure out the camera a bit. The lighting is way off, but that was just my fault on timing. I'm slowly getting the hang of things though. Hopefully improvement is noticeable! I still have a lot to learn, but I'm really excited about the process!
Have a great Valentine's Day, whether you're staying at home cuddling up with a book or a sappy movie marathon, or going out with someone you love!
You look so cute! Happy V-Day, babe! :) I especially love the skirt and tights!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle! I'd been wanting a skirt like this forever, and gave up finding one, but then I think I saw a similar one on your blog and it renewed my determination and I found mine on ASOS during Black Friday!
DeleteI almost bought that top! Too cute! Also, your tights kind of look like Pikachu silhouettes. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love it a lot more than I thought I would because of the color. Also yeah, they're supposed to be cat ears, but they're a little too long!
DeleteI love this look! The color looks great on you, and those glasses rule.

Thanks! Yeah, these glasses are definitely one of my favorite pairs and they cost about $20 on zennioptical!
DeleteYou are so adorable. I love your outfit and that coffee mug is mega rad.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I always advise people to go to Target during Valentine's day because they have the CUTEST dishes/kitchenware during that time! I got that heart-shaped bowl there too!
