Closet Confection: America’s Sweetheart

red peacoat, white bow blouse, leopard print skirt, black tights, ankle boots

When: Monday, February 14th, 2011

Where: Work + A Surprise Date w/ Hubby

What: Shirt (United Colors of Benetton), skirt (Zara), coat (Guess via Burlington Coat Factory), tights (Wolford), shoes (BCBG via Loehmann’s), sunglasses (Marc Jacobs via Nordstrom’s Rack)

I always love wearing red on Valentine’s Day.  And since I didn’t include any red garments in my 30 for 30 round-up, I just decided to throw one of my favorite winter coats for a splash of color.

I have a pretty hot date later on tonight, but it’s a complete mystery to me where we’re going.  As much as I love surprise outings, I always freak out over what I should wear.  I had Eric review my outfit last night to see if it was appropriate for our outing.  He gave me two thumbs up, so  think I’m all set.

I’m super excited to see what he has planned, and I have  a feeling I’m going to have a hard time concentrating at work today!

Happy Valentine’s Day, peeps!

    I love all of your shaped photo crops! They give your posts such great personality.

    AND I’m a huge fan of mixing red with animal print so you’ve sold me on your look too! Happy V Day. Hope your date is super romantic and lots of fun.

    That skirt rocks! I also like the crispness of your white top. You’re so adorable in that first pose. Eh, you’re adorable always!

    I love your skirt! Have you done any posts devoted to your hair lately? I really like the twist (?) that you have in the front.

    • ClosetConfections February 14, 2011 at 9:11 pm

      I haven’t done any posts on my hair, but it’s something I’ve been thinking about. In this pic, I have a single french braid going across the front of my hair.

  • ClosetConfections February 14, 2011 at 9:12 pm

    I went from having zero animal print in my wardrobe a year ago, to going completely gaga over it recently! Glad you enjoy it. 🙂

  • ClosetConfections February 14, 2011 at 9:13 pm

    Thank you. I’m so in love with this coat, especially when it’s drab and drear outside.

  • ClosetConfections February 14, 2011 at 9:14 pm

    Thanks. I’m sure it’ll be sizzlin’! 😉

  • ClosetConfections February 14, 2011 at 9:14 pm

    Thanks. I’ve been lovin’ the combo as of late.

    Such a great coat. And I love red and leopard. Happy <3 day!

  • MONKEYFACE February 15, 2011 at 2:11 am

    Man, I am so jealous that you live in NYC and have access to so many amazing places to shop. THAT TOP. AND SKIRT. Actually maybe it’s a good thing b/c we’d probably have all the same clothes if I lived near you 🙂

  • ClosetConfections February 15, 2011 at 2:47 am

    Thanks so much! 😀

    Your coat is definitely the perfect touch of red! I love that skirt too, normally I only see animal print in pencil skirts so yours is so refreshing!

    • ClosetConfections February 16, 2011 at 12:24 am

      Same here! I was really stoked to see this print in full skirt.

  • H Rija February 15, 2011 at 11:42 pm
