Happy Tuesday,

It’s that time of year when everything is a shade a red or pink. A fun fact about me — I am not a fan of red or pink. I think it all came from when I was a little girl and I had a pink bedroom and it hated it. It’s like I have carried it all the way into my 30’s. I do like fuchsia pink.  In my mind it is not the same.

Enough about my crazy childhood of pink hatred. Let’s talk about he outfit. When you think of Valentine’s Day most want to wear red in some way. I had these pants and thought they would go great if you want to wear the color of the season. Also, this look would be perfect if you were going on a more casual date, or if you are one of those lovely ladies who just don’t care to dress up (that’s okay too).

You can easily pair this with a pair of flats or pumps. Also, if you don’t have a leather jacket you could wear a black blazer as well.  There are many modifications for this outfit.

An Alternative to Sweats

Do you ever have those days when you just don’t really feel like doing much? I think I have them way to often. I just want to put clothes on my body and get the day going. Lately, I have been making an effort to avoid wearing sweats on those days, and going for a more put together option. Which is where the inspiration for this look came from. Here I am wearing a comfortable shirt and a pair of black pants (which feel like you are wearing leggings). It’s simple yet comfortable, perfect if you are running out of the door and don’t have that much time to get your life together (this happens to me way more than I would like to admit lol). When it does happen there is no need to run around looking like a hot mess. I know it is hard but, I am honestly say it takes the same amount of energy to wear this outfit as it does to wear sweats.
