valentine's day outfits

Can't believe how fast time has flown by... especially with Valentine's Day right around the corner! Still haven't picked up any gifts for your main squeeze yet?  Be sure to visit my Valentine's Day Gift Guide for Him on The Good Girl Gone Blog for ideas. Next step... pick out the jaw-dropping outfit. 

This Valentine's Day, I'm channeling a flirty, yet fun look -- a little blush with gold glitter and soft wavy hair to framing my face. 

Below are a few of my favorite picks to looking cute and flirty on that special day:

What are you wearing this Valentine's Day?

a little jingle and a lot of sparkle.

This past Friday, I attended my first office holiday party! Open bar, live band and so much swag on the dancefloor - that would sum up my description of the fun festivities. Held at Barboza on Capitol Hill, all of us reveled in merriment and danced the night away.

Style Update: After my outfit freakout... stressing over a new dress, my hair.. the works for the party - I ended up vamping up one of my favorite dresses with some new accessories for a playful, glittery look.

outfit: J.Crew gold glitter belt | Topshop a-line dress in royal | Kate Spade black on black polka dot tights | J.Crew statement jewels (similar here)

I was especially in love with the gold glitter belt - so many sparkles and it matched my outfit perfectly! Definitely a must-have in the closet.The polka dot tights from Kate Spade are super fun, too. They weren't too loud of a pattern, but added a the right amount of kick to dress up a simple frock. Oh, and did I mention how comfortable my dress was? Comfy and cute are essential to the perfect outfit. I also loved the ruching on the dress - didn't have to worry about wrinkling the fabric. #winning

After dancing my bum off and mingling with teammates, as well as fellow colleagues, we discovered the photobooth... such a great way to capture silly moments! Hands down, best part of the night. 

Love these silly snapshots of the night. Got favorites? Sure do... see below

Had a fabulous time that evening, and major kudos to my main squeeze for being my plus one. 

Love love love holiday parties - there's something about getting all dolled up, catching up with friends and tons of twinkle lights that makes the festive season so much better. 

After this past weekend of holiday parties and Christmas festivities - I'm getting even more excited to attend #holidaypARTy hosted by @MollieinSeattle this week! Can't wait to catch up with one of my favorite Seattle lifestyle bloggers. 

Hope everyone's been enjoying the season 

with friends, family and loved ones! 

Happy Holidays, m'dears. Xoxo
