As tomorrow marks the first day of the month of love, I thought I would share this fun and flirty look from Cacique’s Valentine’s Day collection! Red lace is such a classic for Valentine’s Day, and whether you’re single, attached, looking, or not, gorgeous lingerie can absolutely be something in your wardrobe.
Outfit of the Day
POWER MOVES
Some outfits just make you feel like a boss and this is definitely one of them! It probably sounds silly, but as soon as I put this complete outfit on, I felt like a major bad ass–think Hallmark-movie-villain-on-her-way-into-a-hostile-takeover, but in the absolute best way possible. LOL.
TEDDY BEAR STATUS
When I first ordered this jacket, I sort of thought it was going to be a piece I only wore a few times, simply because it’s bulky and the brown faux fur and large hood channel some pretty major teddy bear vibes. In reality though, I’ve been wearing this jacket constantly! It’s so dang cozy…
STATEMENT MAKER
This post is in partnership with Nordstrom and ShopStyle. As always, all statements and opinions are my own!Without a doubt, the most fun and festive pieces in my closet are my holiday party pieces! While traditionally, I stick to party dresses for festive occasions, this year I decided to switch it up and play with suiting!…
COZY UP
Fully into boots and knits now that it’s cooling down, and I’ve been really enjoying this classic outfit combination a lot! A chunky knit in creamy white is a wardrobe staple for this time of year–it’s so festive and fun, but also timeless. This plaid skirt with matching belt is a new addition to my wardrobe, and I’m so thrilled with it! It’s the perfect length to pair with boots, and if you live somewhere colder, it would look just as cute with tights and knee-high/tall boots underneath!
COLD WEATHER DRESSING
It may not be anywhere near cold enough for me to wear this look yet, but what can I say? Dress for the weather you want, not for the weather you have! …I’m kidding. Kind of. 😛 Blame it on the nonstop holiday movies about big city girls getting stranded in small towns and falling in love with flannel-clad Christmas tree farm owners, but I reeeeally want it to be cold enough to wear this super cozy look, so here we are!
This cozy neutral look is head-to-toe from my faves at Lane Bryant, and it’s honestly perfect if you live somewhere cold or snowy! As someone who used to live somewhere with blizzards, I can attest that this coat/sweater combo is perfect for warding off the cold while still looking cute! Add some gloves and a scarf and you’ll be extra toasty. Plus, this teddy coat is so adorable and versatile–way more fun than a plain black coat!
HOLIDAY PARTY LACE AND SPARKLE
This head to toe look from Lane Bryant would be perfect for a holiday office party–put together and professional, but still festive and fun! I love that this gorgeous green lace dress is swishy and pleated, with a cool color blocking detail. This modern blazer is SO chic, with it’s longline cut, gold-rimmed buttons, and leather lapel.
LEATHER AND LAYERS
I would never describe my personal style as grunge, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like to dabble and experiment with my looks! It was surprisingly easy to achieve since this look is basically what I love to wear during the fall–booties, leather jacket, and skinny jeans–but styled up a little bit with the addition of a plaid shirt tied around the waist to break up this dark look!
FALL FLORALS AND STATEMENT BOOTS
I love a great over the knee boot, so when I saw this statement pair at Walmart, they went straight into my cart! My fellow wide foot/wide calf babes know how difficult it can be to find a great pair of tall boots, so when these fit like a dream, I knew I had to share them. I particularly love that the OTK design tapers behind the knee, which means these are more comfortable to sit in. Additionally, the faux lace-up design on the sides is such a nice detail! These would look just as amazing tucked into skinny jeans and paired with a sweater for when the weather gets chillier!
THE CLASSICS
This season has brought back all of my favorite classics–tailored jackets, boots, and classic patterns like checks and plaids! Plaid and tweed are always classic, but are particularly on trend this season! You can bet that these will be returning in a big way, with everything from glen plaid blazers, to classic tweed overcoats, and even head-to-toe, menswear-inspired, checked suiting making the rounds.
