Full Love

Happy Valentine's Day! I honestly had no intentions of posting another look for this little holiday of love, but Ross and I were able to squeeze in a lunch date yesterday to celebrate. Of course I couldn't resist dressing the part.

Lauren Conrad for Kohl's Blazer (on sale options here and here) // Forever 21 Stripe Blouse (on sale options here and here) // Express Skirt (now 40% off!!) (option here with more sizes & on sale too) // Nine West Heels (option here and here) // Forever 21 Quilted Crossbody // Forever 21 Necklace // Bracelets: T&J Designs, Sweet Clover and Lilac Bijoux all c/o // Gigglosophy Heart Ring c/o

Ever since it arrived in the mail over a week ago, I have been itching for the perfect occasion to wear this skirt from Express. The cut on other full skirts are not the most flattering on my frame. I have tried on at least five and they all went straight back to the rack. I finally hit the jackpot with this one. It's true to size. It doesn't make me look like a puffy marshmallow. The side pockets are icing on the cake and length is perfect for dressing up with heels or wearing an oxford with flats for a more casual look. You know I only highly suggest buying certain pieces, ones that I truly love and think you will too. This is one of them. Full skirts are a big trend for the spring, but honestly, this one is a classic. Trend or not, it's a item that will get plenty of wear and won't lose it's spark any time soon.

As I was editing these photos, it dawned on me that I literally wore almost the exact same outfit last year for Valentine's Day. The only differences were the bottoms and scarf. Next year I plan to ditch the red and throw on some pink. I need to spice things up around here. 

Enjoy you day/weekend and eat lots of chocolate covered strawberries (with champagne).  See you Monday!
