Happy Valentine’s Day! Today you have an excuse to get all dolled up, put on that new outfit, and spend the day with the one you love. A couple weeks ago I had an idea to create a Valentine’s Day inspired photo shoot. So I got together with wardrobe stylist, Connie Kim from Styled by Connie. She was thrilled about the idea, and quickly we came up with a concept. Our goal was to inspire and show how to incorporate vintage and modern elements combined to create soft, romantic outfits for a Valentine’s Day date. The idea was to keep with a clean and sophisticated style and use a color palette consisting of muted tones with pops of bright colors.
Here are five fabulous looks for Valentine’s day:
“Sophisticated Dinner Date”
Here is a look which takes elements of old “Hollywood Glam” styling. Incorporating a high-waist laced skirt, with a peach top for an added pop of color. All paired with nude closed-toe pumps to tie in soft and sophisticated features. Accessories includes a dainty long gold and pearl chain necklace with a black handbag. Confidant and sophisticated, and ready to hit the town!
“Casual Retro Lunch”
This look combines both vintage and modern details. The dress has a retro chevron print in brown earth tones. Paired with a brass metal statement necklace, open toe wedges, a statement bangle and vintage clutch. Perfect for any “day to evening” Valentine’s Day date.
“Casual Boho Chic Date”
Here is a look inspired by the hot pink maxi skirt. Which by the way, is a 2013 color trend for Spring/Summer. Staying true to the “boho chic” look, the skirt is paired with a loose white blouse, black laced crop top, and Grecian inspired accessories. To complete the whole look, a pair of fun and bold colorful shoes are added. Stylish and chic, and perfect for a beach-side date.
“Monochromatic Vintage Dinner Date”
This look was brought together by all monochromatic tones of nude. To give it some edge, the pop of plum shoes and studded detail wrist tie is added. The headpiece and high-waisted dress gives the look a vintage feel. This sweet and adorable outfit can be worn for a lovely dinner date.
“Paris for the Night”
An absolute fave! Black and white stripes are coming back into trend for 2013. A Parisian inspired look was created. Staying true to classic French fashion, the dress is sheer and flow-y, combined with bright red heels and a pop of red lipstick. Keeping with a vintage inspired look, the white headpiece ties the ensemble all together. This amazing look is perfect for a date at your favorite cafe, and sharing a pastry with your love.
