LBD for Valentine’s Day

I cannot believe it is already the 25th of January. I guess it is true that time flies when you’re having fun! Today’s wishlist features another ensemble perfect for Valentine’s Day…but don’t be surprised if you see me wear it during New York Fashion Week, first.

The Dress

As you can probably imagine, fashionistas take the statement “dress to impress” to a whole new level during NYFW. Luckily, you can always rely on Nasty Gal when you’re in the market for a spicy statement piece. This dress will definitely have heads turnin’ whether you’re in the Big Apple or out with your sweetie for V-Day. A fun take on the traditional LBD, the black sheer design is simply chic and the magenta floral embroidery adds a unique touch. But can we talk about the shoulder pads?! Talk about a blast from the past!

The Shoes

To my advantage, I already own a pair of pearl stunners that would look great with this dress. Check out how I styled them for my Birthday here. However, velvet booties would create a visually appealing contrast and I have my eye on this pair. They are 50 % off – hooray! If you have had enough of the bootie scene, consider a pair of transparent heels. This hip style is about to make a grand entrance into the fashion scene and the “Portal” in smoke is a good starting point.

The Accessories

Bare legs in freezing temperatures is not smart. Consider pairing sheer black tights with this ensemble. For added warmth, top a black fur vest (similar to yesterday’s look) over it. Add a pop of color with Sephora’s cream lip stain in Blackberry Sorbet.
