OOTD: Be My Valentine?

Hello, friends!  As promised, I have a special Valentine’s outfit for you today.  I decided to keep the Valentine’s theme understated so I think this outfit would work well throughout the season, not just for V-Day.  Let’s see what you think!

ootd - black heart sweater, red denim cutoff shorts, polka dot tights, lilac converse, turquoise belt, rose gold watch

I am wearing an over-sized black sweater tucked into red denim cutoff shorts over a pair of black-on-black polka dot tights.  I tucked the sweater into the shorts and belted them at the waist with a bright turquoise skinny patent leather belt and accessorized with my new love rose gold watch.  I completed the outfit with my new favorite pale lilac converse tennis shoes.

I have been wanting to wear a tights and shorts ensemble for a while now and when I pulled out my over-sized black sweater, I thought they would be the perfect match.  To make the sweater more appropriate for Valentine’s Day, and also to try out the heart sweater trend, I decided to add the yarn heart to the front of the sweater – don’t worry, I’ll be sharing this super simple DIY tomorrow!  Because the red shorts are a deep, burgundy red, I decided to brighten the outfit by adding little pops of color in the turquoise belt and lilac shoes.  Also, because there are so many different elements to the ensemble – polka dots, a giant heart, pops of color and lots of layers – I figured that keeping the accessories as simple as possible would be best; so, I only added matching turquoise stud earrings and my “boyfriend-style” rose gold watch.

So, there you have it, my idea of a cute, quirky, Valentine’s Day outfit!  Obviously, I have something a little different planned for dinner Thursday night (if The Boyfriend is feeling better, he’s sick, poor guy!), but I thought this would be a fun way to share the love… if you catch my drift.  Thanks for reading ;)
