VALENTINE'S DAY

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day! Honestly - single, taken, or "it's complicated," no matter the status, I always love this holiday. I'm such a sap and I love any holiday that celebrates love... even if it's totally a commercial holiday. There's just something so sweet and special about celebrating people you love. Today, I'm posting not only my "Valentine's Day outfit option" but also what I actually wore on a date with my love.

What I Wore: Dress: Tobi | Clutch: Charming Charlie | Heels: Aldo | Boyfriend: OUT OF STOCK AND TAKEN

Fashion Tip: When it comes to fancy dresses, I try to focus on one major accessory. With this particular dress, I decided to pair it with statement earrings... only because, I mean, when can I wear these bling blangy earrings?

So. I'm going to get a little personal here. This dress is called the "LOVE AGAIN" maxi dress... and to be honest, it 1000% describes my current relationship status. I've experienced the lowest of lows in relationships and I haven't always made the best decisions when it comes to love but being with him changed my views on love and made me believe in love again. He is the epitome of a good man and I feel lucky to be his every single day. I've never felt so loved and appreciated before in my life.

To all the ladies out there. Single, taken or "it's complicated", it starts with "self-love" and I had to learn that the hard way. No matter the situation, never give up on love... any kind of love. Life is too short. Fall in love. Travel. Live happy.

Be*YOU*tiful
