Happy Wednesday loves! It's hard to believe February is quickly coming to an end. We were snowed and iced in all last week so I was unable to shoot any new looks so I thought I'd share my favorite looks of this month here with you! I really enjoyed creating the Valentine's Day lookbook so all three of those looks are featured above as 2, 3 and 4. My absolute favorite outfit of the month was look 1 featuring my favorite hat and scarf that made a color blocking statement.

Sequined Blues

As I post these photos, I can't help but miss being with my family in MS again and most importantly warm weather! I didn't even have to wear a jacket the day we shot this look! Temps did drop later that evening but it was fun to wear something cute and not have to cover it up with a bulky coat and mittens and a scarf!

I found this sweatshirt while my hubby and I were out of town. After I purchased it, he asked if i was keeping it because and if it was a gag sweatshirt. My jaw dropped because of how cute it is and how great of a sale I found it on. Y'all sometimes, husbands just don't understand.  I styled it with my favorite skinnies, ankle boots, and stole borrowed my little sister's cross-body bag. Simple pulled together looks like these are easy to pack for a trip away and chic at the same time. 

 THE RUNDOWN:

Style Swap With Boohoo [Wine + Leopard]

Happy Monday Loves! I hope you all had a lovely Valentine's Day weekend! My husband and I celebrated our first Valentine's Day as a married couple and despite the frozen temps and icy roads, my Boopy made the weekend so special and I truly felt like a queen! From breakfast in bed to a homemade chocolate desert to a surprise painting class where we painted this masterpiece together! Before I move on to today's look, I want to make sure I thank you for all of your sweet comments on last week's posts! After posting Monday-Friday last week, I have a whole new level of respect for bloggers who blog five days a week consistently. Thank you for sticking by me and continuing to support each and every post!

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to have someone pick out an item based on what they think speaks to your style? Well a part of me secretly always has, so I loved the idea when the team at Boohoo pitched me the idea of a style challenge to collaborate with Johnnalynn and pick out an item from their website for her to wear and she would in turn do the same for me. When I received this marled knit sweater, I was thrilled that she picked out something I really liked! 

I decided to add some texture and interest to this sweater by wearing a tissue thin leopard turtleneck and this wide brim hat. Along with my gold accessories, my black bucket bag and slip on sneakers completed the look!

So do you think this sweater is my style? Would you pick out something similar for me to wear if you had to style me?

(Make sure you check out Johnnalynn's blog later this week to see how she styled the item I chose for her!)

I'm about to make some hot cocoa and go cuddle in bed with my hubby and watch movies. We will be officially snowed in tomorrow as we're expecting 10-16' of snow overnight. Stay warm loves!

I've already showed you 3 different looks to inspire your look for various outings to celebrate Valentine's Day! Well I've been inspired to share a 4th way to wear pink with you today and believe it or not, it's been inspired by the HP x360 Laptop!

In this 4th look below, I'm relaxed at home in an oversized vintage pink silk blouse, jeans, and a black wide brim hat, perfect for a Valentine's Day date night in. Now you may not know this about me, but I'm such a tech girl! I love researching and trying out new technology, so you can imagine my delight when I was given the chance to partner with HP for the HP x360! The HP x360 features 4 incredible modes of functionality: Laptop, Tablet, Tent, and Stand. I couldn't wait to #BendTheRules and begin playing around with it!

Valentine's Day Look Three: [Pink Collar]

Hey loves! Here's my third and final look for this Valentine's Day look-book! I've been loving the long coat trend this winter and didn't want to buy a coat this year. It's true what they say, there's nothing like shopping your own closet. I'm so happy that I never got rid of this long baby pink beauty that I've had since undergrad during one of my many closet purges. There were many times I was close. The fit of this coat is even better now and I was able to style it with my faux fur stole, some fun distressed boyfriend jeans, a chambray shirt and a beige cream sweater. I thought my converse sneakers added a cool touch. This look would be just right for meeting a group of friends for a mani/pedi, lunch and a movie for Valentine's Day!

Whether you're single or away from your significant other, please don't spend Valentine's Day alone! Grab some friends and go pamper yourselves, shop, and stuff your faces with chocolates and yummy food!

Valentine's Day Look Two: [Be Mine]

As promised, here is the second look in my Valentine's Day Look-book to help inspire you with ideas of what to wear out on a date, or girls' night out! I know red and pink are typical Valentine's day colors, but there's something so soft and romantic about the color pink, and I immediately thought of this skirt. In today's look, I've styled a full midi skirt with a striped top a casual denim jacket and nude flats. This look is perfect for a day date or easily switch into some heels and throw on a black moto jacket and you're ready for a night on the town!

THE RUNDOWN:

[ :: Thrifted Gap Jacket (similar, splurge) :: H&M Striped shirt (similar, turtleneck option) :: Pink full midi skirt (similar, similar, floral option) :: Nude D'orsay flats (leopard option) :: Forever 21 gold clutch (similar) :: Double gold chain necklace (similar) :: Watch :: Lipstick :: ]
