February-The Month of love

Hello and thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Hearts are one of my favorite motifs, 💕💕💕 any time of the year,

 but February, seems an especially good time to showcase  

  some of the many pieces of clothing and accessories

 in my wardrobe with heart designs 

My first outfit this week features a short sleeve sweater in a giant heart within hearts pattern

I am breaking with tradition a bit with this outfit

 as the sweater has an unusual lack of the colors pink and red 

that are so prominent around the Valentine's Day holiday!

I think this is a good time to wear the sweater, as the color green is trending now, 

and there will be lots of opportunities to wear those lovely 

pinks and reds in the weeks to come!

Wearing this 70's vibe knit with ivory straight leg ankle cropped trousers  

So retro!

Carrying a vintage hard case reptile embossed purse

I usually use this bag as a clutch, but if I need to be hands free,

 it has a versatile convertible metallic cord shoulder or cross body strap

that can be tucked inside

Accessorizing with a wide, distressed studded belt

and silver tone cuff bracelet and hoop earrings

Tying a vintage scarf in my hair

This scarf is an amazing print in peach and green on ivory 

of a Victorian couple in a garden scene complete with cupids and young lovers

Perfect for Valentine's Month!

The scarf also depicts the season of spring-

which I am so ready for

(Just have to get through the month of February first!) 

Metallic perforated slides to finish the look

My second outfit is a white semi-sheer wrap style blouse,

with long full sleeves and an all-over ditsy print of tiny black flocked hearts

The waist ties on this blouse are extra long and fun to style 

For this wear, I have wrapped them around me twice and tied a big bow

They would sweep the floor dramatically like streamers, otherwise

I wear this blouse at other times of the year, as well, 

but the heart print is perfect for Valentine's month

Worn with a flippy, flared hem knee length skirt    

In keeping with the heart motif and the holiday,

I am carrying my quilted red heart shaped bag

For jewelry, I chose my chunky gold tone "D" initial necklace

and large bow shaped red enamel earrings

The earrings were an unlikely vintage shop find

  I have no idea where they started their life,

but I love the bow shape and feel lucky to have stumbled across them

They will be much loved!

Really red pumps with knot detail on the vamp

I ordered these, believing they would be a darker, more subdued shade of red 

But ta-da! They are bright, fire engine red, (unlike the photo online)

I still like them, they are a good fit, but not as versatile as I hoped in this stand out shade

Traveling back to February 2019, in a bright pink outfit

I wore this deep pink skirt just a few weeks ago also, on the blog

 in my Barbiecore post

The bag has a sweet heart and dot print

Hope everyone has a lovely week!
