Valentine's Inspired Look Day to Night

Today I've collaborated with Ada at Elegance and Mommyhood and several other bloggers to bring you some Valentine's Inspired Day to Night looks. I always think of red or pink when I think of Valentine's day, so I chose to style my red buffalo plaid and faux leather leggings in a day to night look.

Plaid is such a fun classic that comes back year after year. Here are five ways to wear plaid this fall.

Plaid and polka dots

Top- JCrew Factory  option

vest- Old Navy   option  option

jeans- Loft

boots- Clarke's  option   option

bracelet- Alex and Ani  option

earrings-JCPenney  option  option  option

 

I wore this a few weeks ago, but with the red plaid, it could easily be a holiday outfit. There are a ton of ways to style a vest, even a plaid one, so I'm looking forward to playing around with the vest again.  Vests are also a great option if you have milder winters like we do. And they make great gifts!

We had a photo shoot to do Saturday afternoon and the temps had dipped back down, so I had the chance to wear a few more of my winter favs before we are full on into spring. I got this faux fur pom pom beanie from Target a couple of months ago on clearance. It was one of those fun items I wanted but didn't want to spend a lot on, so I'm glad I waited.

 

I promise there is a pom pom up there. It's blending in with the background. Learn from my mistakes and take note of this photo tip: when choosing a location for your blog photos, make sure your outfit doesn't blend into the background. Likewise, make sure it doesn't clash either.

The last time I wore my red buffalo shirt, I wore a very casual look. This time I dressed it up a bit with a blazer and heels. It was one of those days when I didn't know what I wanted to wear to church. When that happens, I usually find myself in a blazer and pants. I love wearing skirts on Sunday, especially since they are not always practical at work, but sometimes it seems a little easier to put together pants instead of fussing with a skirt.

Worn Jan 2, 2014

 

I received this shirt for Christmas as a gift. Since our new year started out rainy and cold, I thought it would be a fun layer under this sweatshirt.

 

I'm  okay with the outfit but the photos are not doing it justice. Weird camera angles are just...well...weird. I look a little dumpy here. Since I'm being a bit critical, let me go ahead and say this. It really bothers me when I view fashion posts where the person has been photographed at a weird angle. If you really want to do this, get the right lens or learn to do the best with what you have. Notice I still have room for improvement, but I really hate those shots where someone is shooting from slightly above. It really doesn't flatter you and makes you look squatty and distorted. Is the tall hubby taking your shots? Tell him to bend down a little or get farther back. Don't set the tripod on the porch above you and then go out into the yard or street. Set it up somewhere on the same level. Just my advice and rant for the day.
