What to Wear on Valentine's Day?

Carolina Santos Read

Seen here in my Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply black sheer blouse, vintage red leather mini skirt, black tights, Aldo faux short hair cheetah print booties, and Kate Spade purse with chandelier earrings from Brazil.

The Hi there!

With Valentine's Day quickly approaching I always want to look sexy (in an elegant and fashion forward way without having to try too hard) and maybe wear a little red. In the look I'm featuring on the blog this week I styled a Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply sheer black polka dot blouse featuring romantic billowy sleeves with a vintage red leather mini skirt, black tights, and cheetah-print ankle booties. I also went with swept back hair and long earrings to pull focus to my neck (because you know, subtle skin-showing tricks, amiright ladies?)

Here are the outfit details including the accessories I chose. I normally would have gone with a more traditional black pump or my red Valentino rock stud heels, but the cheetah print in my Kate Spade purse I wanted to wear looked really cute with the matching ankle boots and introduced a nice faux short hair texture with the sheer and leather on the blouse and skirt.

In this image Francisco and I wanted to focus on the detail in the sleeves and cuff around the wrist. Because the shirt is sheer I wore a body hugging black tank, but you could go more daring and wear only your bra;) 

I hope everyone has a lovely Valentine's Day!

Xo,

Carolina
