Valentine’s Day Look

I wore this a few weeks ago for Sunday church and thought it would be a great Valentine’s day look. I am not much one for holiday themed clothing, but rather like to wear something in a holiday color scheme. So for this look, I started to look at my closet in terms of reds, pinks and whites. I decided to wear my burgundy tulle skirt instead of my red one for two reasons: I have shared it less and the darker color is a little more understated in my opinion.

The polka dots are fun and I decided to wear black booties with it, choosing these because of the low and comfortable heel. Church means singing in the choir for a couple of hours and while I can do that in my taller boots, these are definitely more comfortable.

Did you notice my belt does not match my shoes? Remember, just like you can mix metals, you do not have to match your purse or your belt to your shoes. The main reason for me wearing a belt in this outfit was that the elastic waist (which is a black band) does not lay flat on this thrifted skirt, so I like to cover it up.

Because I wrote a blog post about wearing scarves, I have been inspired to wear my scarves more. It’s a bonus that it’s been colder, so wearing them is practical too. I was actually quite cold taking these pictures and wore a jacket half of the morning, even in church. I love this large chunky scarf for its colors and how easy it is to style.

I’ve been taking most of my blog pictures in my yard and outside my house, so it was nice to take them somewhere else. It’s been cold and I have been sharing a lot of multiple ways to wear something, so it’s often easier to do that from home because of changing clothes. But I am hoping that as the weather warms up, I will get back to finding fun spots for pictures.

I thought my Caite and Kyla (Poshmark) jacket was a great addition to my outfit: the colors and the embroidery reflect the colors in the skirt and scarf. And even though it is not thick, it is nice and heavy and warm. It is one of my favorites to wear!
