I was thinking pink for my Valentine's Day wardrobe. And red. Although "red is dead" in Funny Face - it's alive and well for Valentine's Day.
Rock the wardrobe you choose for a weekend dinner at work. To glorify the red Valentine's Day look at work - here's how to keep it professional for Friday & completely new for your Saturday Valentine's Day plans. For those of you with Valentine's Day on Friday here's how to work the look from desk to dinner.
With these look ideas, you can rock the professional look with reds and pinks and change it up fast when you are rushing from work to your dinner date or a night out with the girls.
6:30 a.m. - You are off to work and you don't have time to do up your hair, and get it date ready. No worries. Pack a curling iron, a pair of heels, loud and or fun accessories, some red or pink lipstick and perfume - throw it all in a cute weekender bag to bring to work with you.
To work, wear a blazer and flats with your cocktail dress to make it work appropriate. Make sure your cocktail dress hits at the middle of your knees or lower.
If you are feeling uncomfortable about it, pair your dress with a black blazer, black tights and flats in a neutral color.
Noon - After grabbing a bite to eat, touch up your makeup, and if you have time, curl your hair - refresh so you are not scrambling after work to start from zero. You'll at least have your hair and makeup taken care of. Touch up with mascara and lip gloss.
5 p.m. - The work day is officially over. Before leaving work, lose the flats, touch up your makeup with red or pink lipstick and top off with lip gloss. If your hair lost its curl - touch up. Throw on your heels, accessories and lose the black tights.
Opt for dresses with pink or red detail, or combine the two like Sandra Bullock did a last year at the 2014 Palm Springs International Film Festival, wearing the Alex Perry Pearla dress from the Cruise 2013 collection. The combination was beautiful. Great heels always make the outfit; remember that.
A great button up and pants can also pass off as a dressy look. If you can find a fiery orange, hot pink or cherry red button up, pair it with an opposite color of pants. For instance, if you choose a cherry red button up, pair it with hot pink pants.
