Red for February

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog, today

And just like that-It's February, the month of love

Expect all the red and pink and heart motifs you can stand!

No surprises here ❣️

Although the weather is still very wintery,

 it is nice to know that 

  the coldest weather is behind us-

 and spring will shortly be on the way!

My outfit today is built around a wildly printed

 red and white peplum blouse

It is pretty loud, so I've paired it with neutral black

A black camisole underneath the blouse,

and a black knee length pencil skirt

Are you a fan of holiday theme dressing?

 I have a lot of red in my closet,

 and wear it all year round

 But now, I am right in step with what's trending

with upcoming Valentine's Day

Red has been a dominant color this season,

so I am wearing all the red hues even more than usual!

Crazy geometric!

Accessorizing with a darling 

 black and white houndstooth bag 

It has curved top handles and an alternate 

chain and faux leather detachable cross body strap 

I like a small bag, but this one is extra small!

Measuring a handbag online can prove quite tricky,

 since the inside useable space changes

 with the arrangement of pockets, dividers and such

All of my essentials fit in this little bag-but just,

no room to spare!

 

 

For jewelry with this outfit I chose bold, gold tone pieces

 to balance the extra large print of the blouse

Wearing an Egyptian style collar necklace,

  wide dome cuff bracelet,

 and substantial, chunky square round hoop earrings 

Cherry red Mary Jane sling backs with

 kitten heels to finish the look

In keeping with the red tones of February,

for the item that left my closet this winter,

 I chose to show a wine color skater jumper dress 

It has gotten a lot of wear though the years

I have had it, and it is a favorite style of mine

 It was a little big for me when I bought it,

as I had several sweaters planned

to style under it for winter

 I am moving it along,

 I hope someone picks it up as a possible valentine's dress

It's full swishy skirt, would be perfect for a holiday dance💃

Concealing the fact that it is

 a little too big for me under a blazer

I think this is the last time I wore it,

 and I hope it finds a happy new home!

 

Hope everyone enjoys their week!

❤️💐💙🌼💘🌺💛🌹💜🌷💖
