It's been several weeks since my last shop update.  I still have reds and pinks creeping in due to an overflow from Valentine's Day I guess.  I got a little pink and red happy this year.  I think it has to do with having a daughter.  Good thing pairing red and pink seems to be the trend this season, which I have to admit is actually nice to look at.  Enjoy the shop update and click on the captions to take you to the item!

What I Wore on Valentine's Day

As many of you know, going out on Valentine's Day is insane and takes much effort, patience, and cash.  Instead, the hubs and I spent an evening at home where he made me dinner and brought me beautiful roses. I wanted to be a bit festive, but not decked out in all red or pink since we were just eating dinner at home.  So, I just wore the following and I must say, I really do like all the colors and I always receive compliments on the bow belt, which is from Simply Audrey here.

I didn't wear the shoes inside the house, but I wore them out shopping.  I have to say they're my favorite thrifted pair to date.

And here are the gorgeous flowers and meal from my husband.  I must say, I felt very loved!

How was everyone else's valentine's?  Did you go out or stay in?

Quick Thinking

If you haven't noticed across Twitter, Instagram, and whatever networking site there is, Southern California has been having gorgeous near 80 degree weather for the past couple of weeks.  So, silly old me thought I'd wear this dress from Simply Audrey with my favorite summer platforms from Blowfish Shoes and go thrifting at this hip little place while my husband stayed home with the napping kiddos. 

I had a great thrifting experience and finally found some dark jeans that fit!  As I walked to my car to finish the rest of my errands, post office and Costco, I realized how cold it had gotten in an hour.  I had not brought a jacket or a sweater, and the thought of entering Costco's frozen section in my little dress gave me more of the chills.  So, I sat in the car in Costco's parking lot and not so discreetly put on my just purchased skinny jeans and it saved my a**.  Literally. I just tucked my dress in and made it a blouse. So, thank you thrifting, once again, for a lovely and cheap purchase.  Now I have two outfits in one! 

Which outfit do you like more- the dress used as a dress or as a blouse?
