Casual Valentine's Weekend Outfits.

Today, I am showing you a couple of Casual Outfits I wore on Valentine's weekend. As you can tell from them, I have been wearing a lot of Velvet this Winter. Just like yesterday, with my Hot Pink Velvet Blazer which you all loved (Thank You very much), today I am wearing a Khaki Velvet Blazer on the first outfit and Velvet Black Leggings on the second outfit.

I wore this outfit on February 13th during the daytime and I actually wore it to work. My work-place is pretty laid-back plus it was Friday so I made these Fun Rose-Print Pants work for my office. And, a little tip ladies: adding a Blazer makes an outfit instantly more polished, I promise. The Khaki/Nude Blazer plays off the Champagne and Blush Colors of my Pants. I also wore my New, Embellished Gray Tee from Zara (which I scored for a little under 15 bucks). Some Dangly Earrings, a Fun Bracelet + a Metallic Pearl Necklace which I wore as a Bracelet and Light Coral Lipstick finished off the look, for me.

This second outfit was worn during the day-time on February 14th, on Saturday. You got a sneak-peek of this outfit during my Valentine Recap. Coincidentally I wore some type of Gray, Cozy Knits/Sweatshirts 2 days in a row. And, as I was looking through my blog I wore this Sweatshirt last year during Valentine's week in a casual Outfit, too. This time I layered my Red Portofino Blouse underneath it with my Black Leggings and Gorgeous, Edgy, New Brown Boots. All I did was accessorize with a Metallic Pearl Necklace.
