A Dressy Valentine's Day Outfit

 On Monday's Fashion Post, I shared a Casual Valentine Outfit.  Today I wanted to show a more dressy option, but still weather appropriate if you live in a cold climate like I do.

I don't like to run out to the store and buy all new items for a special occasion if I don't have to.  I prefer to shop from my own closet.  Everything I am wearing I've had for a few seasons or more except the bag.  My daughter gave me the gold handbag this year.

Leopard and red are one of my favorite pairings.  Since the top exposed quite a bit of skin for our cold temperatures, I added this furry leopard print infinity scarf to keep me warm.

My top is just a long sleeve tee with tab sleeves from Express.  The skirt is black pleather and has little tiny holes all over it.  If the skirt is too edgy for you, you could easily recreate this look with any black skirt suitable to your taste.

To keep my legs warm, I wore black tights and black suede ankle booties on my feet.  I tried my new over-the-knee boots with this outfit for extra warmth, but I felt like the small space of flesh between the bottom of the skirt and the boot was odd.  Although, it would have been nice for the extra warmth.

Since Valentine's Day falls on a weekday we will be celebrating the holiday this weekend.  I'm not sure what we will be doing yet, probably just dinner and a movie.  Last year we went to the cities and saw a Broadway musical and got a nice hotel room.  And the next day I left for Florida for two weeks to see my kids!  This year, it's not quite as exciting, but we are also spending a lot of money remodeling our new master bedroom.

On Monday I asked you which outfit you think I will actually wear on Valentine's Day.  Knowing me, and now knowing my plans, which one do you think it will be?

Have a Great Day!  Amy
