Today (February 7th) is National Wear Red day. This day is a part of the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women campaign. This campaign raises awareness for heat disease, the leading cause of death in women in the United States. Heart disease is often called the 'silent killer' of women because of it's often unnoticeable symptoms and is more deadly than all forms of cancer combined. I highly recommend reading more about the campaign on their website! Also the Go Red fashion show was last night! If only I was at New York Fashion Week *sigh* maybe one day...
Anyway, as well as supporting the campaign I thought this post could serve as a little bit of outfit inspiration! Valentine's day is exactly a week away so it's a perfect excuse to get all dolled up in red! Red is one my favorite colors so I'll wear it any day, not just February 14th!
Now, I probably won't be going out for Valentine's day (I'll probably be studying...or procrastinating) but if I was I would be wearing something like this. I always like to keep it simple but with a girly flair so I paired this gorgeous red sweater with a ballerina-inspired skirt! I'm a big fan of the ballet-inspired fashions that have been popular recently. From tulle skirts to ballerina flats, I'm pretty much obsessed. I thought the skirt would go perfectly with some hella-sexy black heels! I definitely don't own a pair of Jimmy Choos but a girl can dream, can't she? To add a little more sparkle I added a necklace from Bauble Bar. If any of you don't know what Bauble Bar is, I beg you, go to their website now! Their jewelry is so gorgeous it will actually change your life (and it's reasonably priced which is a bonus!). You also need something to store all the necessities, so I added a basic black Coach bag that you can't go wrong with. I recently purchased a black Coach satchel on Ebay and I'm already crazy about it! Since it's Valentine's day and we're working with the 'Go Red' theme a classic red lip is obligatory. I love 'Jungle Red' by NARS or my all time favorite red is MAC's 'Russian Red'. You can read more about my obsession with that lipstick here!
So there you have it, a perfect Valentine's day look! It's flirty and feminine, but not too dressed up, and that's just the way I like it. It's great for a hot date or to celebrate singles awareness day with some friends (Galentine's Day anyone?). So tell me, what are your plans? And what will you be wearing?!
Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
