Red on Red for Valentine’s Day

Happy Wednesday, friends! And here’s to another day celebrating Valentine’s week here on the blog!

Today I am continuing the Valentine’s inspiration with a fun little casual outfit in the color palette I’ll be living in all week long–RED!

I don’t usually put together monochromatic outfits, but Valentine’s Day is just too perfect a time not to pick one shade of pink or red and go a little overboard with it. Don’t ya think? I mean, who doesn’t love a little cheese on this holiday, right?! (<– I was the girl in middle school wearing this crazy heart headband to all my classes. Currently thinking I might need to upgrade to this darling one! But I digress.)

I actually picked up this red scoop neck tee and these red skinny jeans while I was in Dallas this past weekend. And while I bought each to wear separately (I think these jeans would look fantastic with a striped tee in the summer), I just couldn’t resist pairing them together. The red on red turned out perfectly for Valentine’s week, when all I want to do is be mushy and gushy in love.

Keeping with the fifty the shades of red theme, I added in my favorite red heels and cheesy heart sunglasses to give this outfit a little bit of #hearteyes vibes (quite literally). And to be frank with you, these sunglasses are more than a Valentine’s Day gag for me. They’re actually my go-to shades on lazy day road trips into the mountains or even for errand shopping on the weekends. I’ll just say, they have a way of bringing out the fun in any situation!

To finish off my casual Valentine’s look with a little extra pop, I added my favorite pink crossbody purse and all the love-inspired jewelry I own.

And on a side note…if you’re ever on the hunt for cute heart earrings or a darling ‘love’ midi ring, I’d highly recommend stopping into Francesca’s. If you’ve been following my blog for any amount of time at all, you’ve probably noticed I love getting my jewelry there. Not only are their pieces cute (and unique!), but are also very affordable. No sponsorship here, just a good old fashion love for the brand. 🙂

And that’s that!–a casual Valentine’s inspired outfit for any all days this week. And if you happen to see a red ninja soaring through the air sometime over the next couple days, don’t worry too much. It’s probably just me frolicking around with too much Valentine’s week excitement.

Happy Valentine’s week, loves!
