I love Valentine's Day and the past two years my v-day posts have been full of pink and red! (See here.) This year I decided to mix it up a little.

  1. Love the dress and the heart trend. I'm a teacher, so for some Valentine's day fun at school I'm wearing a pullover from F21 with a big pink sequined heart on the front! :) http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?Br=F21&Category=top&ProductID=2000050173&VariantID=

  5. I love dresses that have open backs. It's sexy without showing a lot.

  6. That's a really cute dress! I'm thinking of going with a classic black dress. But that could change!

  9. I like the concept of not using any hearts in the outfit but it still matches the Valentine's theme. I'll probably wear a sweater or a top with hearts on it.

  13. This outfit is just *so* chic and streamlined, J.!!    Yesterday was my and my husband's Wedding Anniversary;  so we're going out to celebrate~~with dinner first~~this evening!!    Earlier today, he just happened to see me looking at YOUR *Special* Valentine's Day Outfit on the computer;  so I told him that (some of) your Commenters are "divided about" your wearing, or not wearing, your (Limited) Hot Neon-Pink Necklace with rhinestone accents.    Anyway, his always-to-the-point (haha!!) "Guy" Comment was, "I think she looks *great*.  What's she going to be doing while she's wearing the dress?"    When I told him that you'd probably first be going out to dinner, TOO;  he said, "I think she then SHOULD wear the pink necklace, because if she just wears the pink belt............ her date won't 'see any pink,' i.e., while they're both sitting down at dinner."    (So, there, haha!!)

    I wonder how your (Limited) pale metallic-gold belt;  and your (Colin Stuart) Ankle-Strap Sandals, Above, would look *paired together again*, i.e., as in your blogposts of 3/12/12;  3/24/12; 

    and 4/24/12??:

    (Maybe the  *p.a.l.e.*  metallic-gold of the belt would subtly highlight the goldtone chain of your necklace; and also the gold ankle straps/heels of your sandals, too??)

  15. I never dress up for Valentines day... the most I ever do is paint my nails either red or pink haha. Just not the holiday for me (though being single probably has a lot to do with it!)! :)

  21. Your Valentin day dress plan is so good. The purple color ribbon belt and   neck less is so good looking.

  22. What a great idea! I always think red or pink lol but the leopard is very sexy with the spot of pink making it girly girl. <3

  23. That dress is adorable! Love the pops of pink that you added. And if you're deciding on which shoes, I vote for the pumps over the strappy sandals.

  24. It looks a little too "young." I think something a bit more mature would be better, like a classic sheath dress or maybe a pencil skirt and a blouse.

  25. Love the look...but a little longer skirt line would be much better.....

  26. I love the leopard and pink together.  Great combo!

  28. Oh I love the touches of pink! I have a leopard dress that I wish I[d wear more, now I know how  to wear it next! 

    Cee.

  29. This outfit is soooooo cute, as everyone else has stated. How would you wear it if you felt it was too short (a dressy look)? I don't think I could feel comfortable in the length and maybe leggings are too casual?

  30. This outfit is to young and unsophisticated for a woman your age. Youth looks much better with a touch more glamour and less flash.

  31. Steph, I would add black tights and black pumps or booties!

  32. Love the idea of pink shoes! I tried that first, but had to remove one pink thing (3 was too many) and the shoes got the boot. ;-)

  33. Oh, I LOVE that dress!!! So cute!
