Love gives you the right to be Free



Mixing Brights - red and pink - trench coat


What I'm Wearing
* Vintage hot pink tunic button down blouse.
* Burberry shorty trench coat.
* Boyfriend jeans from Victoria's Secret.
* Two vintage necklaces, layered.
* Earrings Kenneth Jay Lane {I think} from GILT.
* Vintage sunglasses.
* Kate Spade red crocodile tote bag.
* Blue suede pumps from Aldo.

* Hair: I really couldn't be bothered so I pulled it into a high ponytail on the top of my head but instead of wrapping the the elastic around an entire third time, I only pulled half my hair through.

* Title: lyrics from Whitney Houston - Saving All My Love For You ca. 1985... I'm so incredibly sad about Whitney Houston's passing. This wasn't necessarily my favorite song of hers, but it was fitting for today I thought.

Wearing red and pink together was such a "no-no" for such a long time as was pairing black and navy in the same look. But no longer do we have to abide by such rules, and I'm guessing, since my Grandma's bedroom was mostly pink and red, these two colors were at one time, a happy duo. My Grandma had impeccable taste... well, it may have been over the top, but it was always stylish. Instead of wearing an entirely red and pink outfit though, I through in some neutrals to break it up a bit and added the royal blue with the same intensity just for fun.

The husband and I have been catching the sun just before it sets lately, which is making for some lovely sun-spotted photos. It's been so warm, I wonder if we'll have an early Spring? Though it was actually quite chilly when we took these yesterday. We're spending much of today together... just wandering about town and catching and early dinner later... which is not too out of the ordinary for us, but Valentine's gives it an added romantic touch.

Love this look for a casual Valentine's Day out. Those heels are gorgeous and I think I might have to check Victorias Secret for my next pair of jeans!

Gwen said...

I love the look of red & pink together. The brighter the better and I think the pop of royal blue just completes this perfectly!!! And the hairstyle is adorable!!! I'm showing this to Ellie. She never wants to let me do this to her hair for ballet class and it would be quick and simple and still look adorable!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!
