Between school, work and overall busy schedules I can't tell you the last time I actually celebrated Valentine's Day on Valentine's Day and this year is no different. One of my lovely professors decided to make a massive midterm due this week, but I did manage to make time for brunch and a basketball game this weekend. And thanks to EBEW & BDIB it wasn't very hard deciding what to wear. Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I leave you with two great quotes on love, from two very influential people ;)
"Only when love is a verb and put into action does it thrive. It's a mistake to think that a loving relationship is going to automatically sustain itself. Nothing worth having happens without work." ~Oprah
"You know you are in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams." ~Dr. Seuss
wearing: old navy blouse (PURCHASE) & earrings, express slacks, calvin klein heels (SIMILAR, SIMILAR), thrifted necklace
worn to: brunch at PICAN
BTW if you are local and free on Thursday evening at 6 p.m. please stop by Macy's in Union Square. They are doing a great thing this Black History Month and honoring the legacy of famed artist Romare Bearden and they are kicking off the exhibit with a reception this Thursday 2/16. To RSVP, learn more, or see if Macy's in your area is doing something similar please go HERE. Maybe I will see you there :)
Love it! two great colors connected with earrings! xx

p.s I did love the red and pink combo, obvi!
I love the quotes and had to "steal" one to post on my FB page (lol)...as for the outfit - LOVELY! I've been seeing color blocked outfits in this color combination all week and have fallen in love with the idea of pink and red together!
ReplyDeleteEverything is perfect! Your blouse, pants, earrings and strappy open-toed leopard print pumps! What a great take on pink and red by adding leopard, love it!
