So ... now that the big day is over, and all the heart-shaped chocolates are on sale, let's talk about what style trends work this year. This way you can be ready for next year, whether you're celebrating with your baby or looking to catch someone new.



What I Saw: Traditional Colors - Red and Pink

What Works: Deep Reds
Remember February is winter, even if you live in Texas or somewhere else it doesn't really get cold. If you really want to play on the traditional side, a warm shade of red will do the trick and ensure you are season appropriate. Try raspberry or burgundy. If you choose regular red pair it down with black.
What Doesn't Work: Hot Pink
Ladies, please, be careful not to stick out like a sore loud pink thumb. Yes, you want to be noticed ... but not pointed at. If you choose pink, keep it sweet not sassy. Try a soft pink top and cream colored bottom. And fellas, pink is NOT suggested for you on Valentine's day. Be sweet to your lady ... not in your ensemble choices.

What I Saw: Non-Traditional Colors & Iridescence

What Works: Thinking Outside The Color Box
Don't feel trapped in a corner simply due to the colors associated with the holiday. There are other options to explore. consider purple, preferably closer to one extreme or the other. Try a lavender or deep royal shade. Also play with teal and chocolate brown for variety.

What Else Works: Iridescence
A shimmering champagne color is a spicy alternative to the traditional pink. Keep in mind that you don't want to over do it. Look for prints that utilize lustrous accents in a dress, for example.




What I Saw: Separates

What Works: Simple Chic
A flirty top with a simple skirt was one of my favorite looks this year. Add a sassy shoe and you have a great look that was way easier to pull off than anyone will guess.

What Doesn't Work: Stark White
I know you are tempted. If teddy bears are white and red for Valentines day you should be too right? ... WRONG! Instead of a white skirt, choose cream. Instead of a white pants, opt for a soft nude color.
