SENSATIONAL VALENTINE'S DAY WITHOUT THE PINK

PULLED FROM THE BEYONDTHERUNWAYS.COM ARCHIVES FEB 2015:

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and if you’re a last minute planner, I’ve got a few outfits that can inspire your VDay look. To mix it up a bit, I avoided pink and red in all my look recommendations; there are so many other colors that can make you stand out in a crowd of vibrant red! 

In addition, here are a few cardinal rules when choosing a date outfit: 

  • Avoid vibrant, small patterns: they can be distracting!
  • Remember that being comfortable in your outfit will allow for your remarkable personality to shine through (especially important to keep in mind for first dates!)
  • Don’t be afraid to be adventurous with your style
  • Keep accessories to a minimum 
  • When in doubt, keep it simple and choose something similar to my “no fuss” outfit, paired with a bold red lip

No fuss: simple, casual, comfortable
