Last Valentine’s Day look!
Let’s recap:
Look one was a champagne-and-roses inspired outfit perfect for a brunch date or a casual museum stroll.
Look two was a red lace look for a classy dinner date…
And look three is a simple mauve dress perfect for my actual plans, which include a movie date with my roommate.
boots | dress | scarf (old via H&M, similar) | jacket | ring | earrings | nails | purse
I love this dress because it’s so simple. It’s definitely more of a spring and summer dress but the versatile shade allows you to easily wear it in cold weather with tights, boots, a scarf and a jacket. I always bring a scarf or a cardigan to movie theaters because they’re so ridiculously cold. Right? Or is that just me?
And yes, before you ask, we’re planning on seeing 50 Shades of Grey.
The trailers look horrific and Elise and I are both curious to see whether the movie is as atrocious as the books were. She made it halfway through the first novel and I, in a desperate fit of boredom, actually read all three about two and a half years ago.
I remember reading somewhere that the lead actors aren’t fond of each other and the lack of chemistry between the two of them, as well as their disdain for the script, is glaringly obvious.
Regardless, we’re buying into the hype.
Are you going to see 50 Shades? Let me know what you think in the comments!

Thank you! I’m so bummed it sold out so quickly. I love H&M but the merchandise turns over way too fast.
Love that dress & those earrings-they really make your outfit pop!

Thank you so much, you’re too sweet!
I love this outfit! It looks so pretty and feminine, but still casual enough for a fun movie date with your friend. Okay, confession time, I kind of wish I had someone to go watch 50 Shades of Grey with me but my friends are not having it and my fiancé won’t hear of it. Woe! I haven’t read the books but I’m just curious to see whether the movie will be as bad as everyone says it is!

Leave me a comment; I’m always looking for new blogs to follow!
Thanks so much! There were so many guys in my theater that were dragged there unwillingly. It was so funny- near the end of the movie the fire alarms went off THREE times and we all had to evacuate. The guy that was walking behind us quietly said, “There is a God” as we were leaving the theater. 🙂 I hope you get a chance to watch it!
Love this outfit, so casual and cute! I am super curious to see 50 Shades of Grey too haha :p I read 2 of the books so yeah I want to see the film adaptation. At least the soundtrack is pretty good! Happy Valentine’s Day! 🙂

Thanks so much! I read the books too and I was veeeeeryyy curious to see how they would make those books, er, appropriate? for the big screen, haha. Hence my desire to see the movie! Happy (late) Valentine’s Day to you too!
Cute outfit! I’m not going to see the movie… the trailers just make me feel so awkward, I don’t think I can handle watching the entire thing in a theater full of people! A little part of me does want to watch it though… just for the hell of it and so I don’t feel left out from the rest of the world haha Idk, maybe when it comes out on blu-ray haha

Thanks so much! And thankfully the fire alarms that went off THREE TIMES during the movie kind of diffused any possible awkwardness there could have been in my theater, hahaha.
Wow, I need that polka scarf! So pretty 🙂

Those boots are wonderful. And no, I won’t be seeing 50 Shades. But you and I should chat about it.

Please, don’t see it. Ever. I wish I could step on it with those boots.
Wow, I totally love this outfit! This is definitely the sort of thing I could see myself wearing, especially the polka dot scarf (adore that color) and the boots with your little socks peeking out. I haven’t seen or read 50 Shades, partly because I know people in the BDSM community here in SF who are totally in distain about the bad reputation its giving the practice. Maybe I will at some point, but I’m in no rush! It sounds from your comments below like you hated it, haha.

Thanks! I always buy my boots half a size big so I can wear as many pairs of socks as possible, haha. And I wasn’t too fond- I read online that the main actors couldn’t stand each other and I thought that came across in the film. Just bad, bad chemistry, and of course, the book was kind of not great to start with.
