Casual Cocktails for Valentine’s Day

Aside from a romantic dinner you can also do a more casual cocktails to celebrate Valentine’s Day. In this case, a little lacy dress may be too much, so I opted for sequin track pants to keep the outfit classy while still a little casual. Side note; these track pants are SO comfortable! I bought sequin pants a few months ago at H&M and honestly never wore them because they were uncomfortable and, honestly, not flattering at all. I can’t remember why I bought them in the first place. These joggers are casual, comfortable, and so festive looking!

If you’re going to be doing something a little more casual for Valentine’s Day you might want to wear pants, as I would plan to hop from one place to another all night long, ha. I opted for my favorite skull clutch to add some of my signature edge to this outfit, which is a refreshing change from yesterday’s uber romantic look. Which one do you prefer so far? There’s one look left for my favorite kind of celebration; girls night!

My Summer Staple

All winter long I look forward to the summer, and all summer long I complain about the heat. I hate being hot. I really, seriously hate it. If I could walk around all summer naked I think I would. However, that would be inappropriate on like 100 different levels so I’ll stick to my favorite summer staple instead; light, airy, barely-there sun dresses.

I seriously liiiiiiiive in little, light dresses all summer long. One thing that has changed for me since becoming a mother in regards to my summer wardrobe is coverage. I used to be able to throw on a tiny little bandeau and slinky little dress and call it a day. If I tried to do that these days… you’d see SO. MUCH. BOOB! My kids are always grabbing at me and clawing at my clothes, it’s inevitable something would fall out, haha. So these days if I know I’m going to be hanging with the kids my dresses definitely have to stay in place. The straps on the back of this little number are perfect for me since they’re adjustable! This dress is fantastic for a day-to-night; I wore it with a pair of my favorite strappy sandals during the day and threw on these wedges for a night out.

I honestly forget how many tattoos I have sometimes… hah does that happen to anyone else? So many of them are in spots I can’t see and forget about. When someone asks me how many I have I always leave a few out… whoops! IMG_3499 IMG_3502 IMG_3495

Can we just talk about these necklaces for a hot minute? Obsessed isn’t even the word! I had such a hard time picking out the ones I wanted because they are all seriously beautiful. I thought these would be a great layering pair, but I’m really in love with the horn. It’s just so preeettttyyyy.

White Hot Summer

My husband and I went out for a date night over the weekend and it was an incredibly beautiful night! One of those nights you don’t need to even consider bringing a jacket because it’s not going to cool off. I got a little taste of summer and I’m so excited. It was the perfect night to throw on my new white jumpsuit from Juno Boutique.

I’m big into jumpsuits lately. They can be quite tricky because the fit has to be borderline perfect or else it could be horribly unflattering and unforgiving. I’ve tried on a million since last year and this is the first one I have fallen in love with. I had one from ASOS’s maternity line that I wore throughout my entire pregnancy with Kennedy and I’ve tried to wear it a few times since then and it just looked silly, ha. So I’m glad I’ve found another one I love!

Ok I know you have heard me say this a million times, but I’m keeping this necklace from Rocksbox… seriously this time. I say that about everything they send me but surprisingly the earrings I’m wearing here are the only things I’ve kept so far. I’m adding the necklace to that short list. I am a sucker for anything with layering capabilities and I love the fact that I can double it up or wear it long. IMG_0199 IMG_0200 IMG_0201 IMG_0202

When I tried this jumpsuit on in the store I walked out of the dressing room having a full blown J. Lo moment, I felt so damn fabulous, haha. It was perfect for a fancy schmancy date night with the hubs. I haven’t played with it myself yet but I feel like this jumpsuit in particular could probably be dressed down, too. May have to challenge myself with this one!
