Sequins and Sea Breezes: Racy in Red

Racy in Red

2/14/2017


Happy Valentine's Day babes! I'm not one who usually celebrates Valentine's Day or makes a big fuss out of it, I'd rather get flowers or chocolates on a random day of the year "just because" than I would on Valentine's Day but that doesn't mean I can't dress the part! Red used to be one of my favorite colors to wear, regardless of the holiday, but then I started to wear more neutrals and slowly red slipped out of my wardrobe and was almost all but forgotten. So when I saw this dress, I was immediately to it in white but I decided to switch it up and go with the red to add more color to my wardrobe again.
Since I'm not going out, or doing anything over the top to celebrate, I kept my Valentine's Day look pretty casual which really shouldn't surprise anyone. Since it is still a bit cooler in the morning and evening, I threw on a jean jacket which made this dress not only cool weather appropriate but also less dressy. Then I topped off my look with my absolutely favorite wedges. Every time I wear these wedges I get compliments on how cute they are and everyone is always surprised to hear that they're also super comfortable. Is anyone doing anything fun for Valentine's Day?

  6. Lol my college cheerleading coach always says, "Happy Men are Socially Obligated to Buy Flowers Day." I have so many work meetings today and it's raining, so I have no idea what I'm going to wear.

  11. Those wedges really are so cute, and extra points for the fact that they're comfy too! We usually don't do too much celebrating for Valentine's Day either, usually just a dinner out somewhere but not actually on Valentine's Day. I am with you on wearing a color to make me feel more festive, and I've got some pink on today!

  13. Love the pretty lace detailing of your dress! We are not big valentine's day celebrators here. We just order Chinese and stay in.

  14. That red lace dress though! I've been all over Express' site and somehow didn't spot that one. So perfect for V-day or any special occasion (weddings etc.). Love how you matched it with the jean jacket and the nude wedges for a slightly more casual yet classy look!
