Polished in Pastel

Happy Valentine’s Day dear readers! While David and I have zero plans going into the big holiday, I hope some romance comes your way. While I may not be the biggest believer in the day, I still like to dress the part… for all of February. My closet and daily outfits have been a storm of pinks, reds, and pastels. If you’ve been following me for a while, then you know that’s not quite my style. I’m much more into blues and stripes and must really want to be festive this year .
No matter what color palette I decide to wear, I always want to look polish. Sometimes, that’s easier said than done. That word can mean a lot of different things to different people. For me, I like classic pieces, clean silhouettes, all with a touch of feminine. In a perfect world, that word would describe my hair, but that rarely actually happens.
I know I’ve been sharing a lot of tweed lately, but it’s simply one of my favorite fabrics. It can make anyone look like a million dollars and works if Chanel isn’t in your budget. With all of that said, how could I possibly pass on this sweet little sweater from LOFT. I swear, the colors are even prettier in person! There are touches of pink, purple, and turquoise, all against a creamy ivory background. It’s the kind of sweater you could wear every day and never have the same outfit twice. What can I say? I’m loving it!
The rest of the polished look comes down to the accessories. While jeans are the epitome of casual style, they look put together with a pair of ballet flats and a structured bag. Any pair of flats will do, like this pointed pair for Sarah Flint, but I never pass on the opportunity to wear my classic Chanel flats from Paris. Fashion mavens all of the world adore these heels and it’s not hard to see why!
David and I actually decided to semi-celebrate with a date night last night. We figured that we could try and beat the holiday rush. We sipped delicious wine and split a plate of mussels and oysters at Beach Drive’s Alto Mare. Although seemingly low-key, it felt so romantic. For tonight, I’m looking forward to a quiet evening at home with a bottle of wine and a good movie. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Love from Florida,
Katie
