Valentine's Work Outfit Ideas.

I wore these work outfits to work sometime last week, keeping in mind that Valentine's Day is coming soon. I wanted to show you 2 (very) subtle ways of how to dress for work with a little nod to Love or VDay. These are two simple but chic Work Outfits that have some type of Valentine's Day detailing to them. =) 
Both times I am wearing some type of Pencil Skirt and a Blouse as a Top. Once I layered with a Blazer and once with a Cardigan. Another thing each outfit has in common is Textures. With the first Outfit (below) there are Sequins on the Cardigans, Chiffon and Silk on the tiers of the Blouse/Shell, the Skirt is Ruched, the Tights are also Textured and Printed. In the second Outfit, I am wearing my Tuxedo Blazer which has a Faux Leather Lapel, paired with the Mixed-Media Heart Blouse and a Corduroy Skirt.
First, I want to apologize in advance for all the photos featuring this first outfit. They came out really dark and grainy. I need to invest on a pro camera. Gosh, I wish they didn't cost so much! So, I titled this Outfit "A Little Pink, a Little Floral".  Pink, little dots and floral are all a little romantic and a little Valentine-y (I just made up that word). It is about time I wore this tiered, light pink/coral little shell. It is cute, no? And about time I wear this lovely, ruched pencil skirt which has little dots and a subtle floral print in it. Last but not least a few sequins splattered on my cardigan. And to top it off I have on a twisted, beaded statement necklace (almost the exact shade as my blouse) and a hot pink watch.
Black, Ruched Pencil Skirt w/ Tan tiny Polka Dots & a Flower Print: White House Black Market (similar, scuba, floral pencil skirt by Express, love this), (gorgeous option by Bisou Bisou, best deal, love this), (similar in rose print, great deal).
Black Beaded Bracelet w/ Pearl, Crystal & Coin Charms: White House Black Market (very similar, great deal, love this), (similar, love this), (fun option w/ Domo beads, best deal).
Hot Pink, Patent Leather Strap Watch w/ Silver Rhinestone Face & 2 Pink Rhinestone, Floating Hearts inside: An Accessories Boutique in Albania (very similar), (similar Hello Kitty, best deal),(similar, Kate Spade option, love this).
Gold-Tone, Turtle Cocktail Ring w/ Pave, tiny Coral Stones: Christmas Gift (gorgeous option in green by Kenneth Jay Lane, love this), (beautiful tortoise option by Kenneth Jay Lane, great deal).
Pink Bow Hair Tie w/ White Polka Dots: Random Street Vendor.
Off-Black, Spider-Print Opaque Tights: H&M.

I am titling this Outfit "Hearts and Cognac". It is hard to tell but my B+W Blouse is printed with hearts not dots. This Cognac/Brick Blazer with the Faux Leather Lapel was one of my favorite purchases of last Fall and I am glad to wear it again after pairing it with my Blanket Plaid Burberry Scarf . The Blazer mixes well with my Cognac Boots and Olive Corduroy Pencil Skirt (love those buttons on the front). My Black Beaded Necklace has a pop of Blue via the Navy and Sky Blue Beads here and there. I wore my Matchy Earrings and Bracelet from White House Black Market and another Work Outfit was under way.
Rust/Brick Open-front Blazer w/ Black Faux Leather Lapel: H&M (Gifted from my Brother) (New) (similar, love this), (gorgeous mocha, velvet option, the Schoolboy style by J.Crew), (very similar in Gray Tweed & Faux Black Leather by Target, best deal, love this).

  16. These are both lovely outfits and so suitable for work and work with the upcoming V-Day holiday! I think the second one is my favorite, because it is just a little more romantic with the pink silk blouse and shimmery cardi. You are always so cute, bet you are the best dressed lady at your work!
