So, Valentine's Day is tomorrow and, despite this very festive outfit, I won't be doing anything special for it. Out of the two of us Kimberley is definitely more pro Valentine's. I'll usually buy a card for my other half but that's as far as it goes. With my birthday falling at the start of February I'm usually feeling rather spoilt and loved by this point.
I do like dressing to a theme though, so when Kimberley suggested Love Heart sweeties as inspiration I went full steam ahead. I even got my DIY on, glueing a whole bunch o' candy to a fascinator base. Four whole packets of sweets to be precise. Which resulted in this sugary head piece, the perfect accessory to go with my sickly sweet outfit. It weighed a tonne but boy did it smell good! I also made a wee flowery headpiece for Kimberley so she didn't feel left out and printed us up some giant Love Hearts. Cheesy, but effective.
I decided to go full on pink for the rest of my outfit. The jumper was a birthday gift from my sis, Heather. Seems my love of eye motif's is no secret. The collar is attached to the jumper but can also be detached. Expect to see it paired with everything else in my wardrobe very soon. The shoes are ones I meant to sell on ebay AGES ago. They're slightly too big but I finally found some heel grips that make them much more snug and stay in. My laziness pays off sometimes. I added some frilly socks and pastel nails to really push the cuteness factor. The necklace was a part of what I got Heather for Christmas. Yeah, I got her a present that meant I got one too. It's the best way to buy gifts. I wrote more about this beautiful Charcot piece over on my Jolly Good blog, if you fancy finding out more.
I've used this Valentine's Day as more of an excuse to treat my favourite ladies rather the man in my life. I believe Galentines is the term but I just enjoyed putting together some packages of sweets and jewels for my wee Girl Gang favourites.
Who will you be treating this Valentine's Day?
Thanks to Heather for snapping these super sweet photos.
I love that shirt collar! Such a cute outfit! I'm not one for valentines either, even though I do have a boyfriend. Still, I love how festive this outfit is :)
