Not a Dress for Valentine’s Day

When it comes to dressing up for a fancy date night out, I love a good dress as much as the next girl. Usually I go for a solid colored piece, with a flattering silhouette, that’s easy to style and build up with additional accessories. But for this upcoming Valentine’s date wear, I wanted to do something a little bit different: I’m opting for a red velvet romper. I’m going for a red colored piece, of course, to be be occasion appropriate. And there’s something about velvet that feels super luxe, sexy, and very date night appropriate.

What I also like about this romper is that it can be styled multiple ways. Amp up the sex appeal and luxe feel by adding faux fur jacket, a pair of stilettos, and lots of bling. Or you can make it feel more street tough by pairing it with a leather moto jacket, doc marten boots, and spiky jewelry. I decided to go somewhere in between (hence the fur jacket and rocker boots).
