What I {Wish I} Wore Wednesday: Valentine's Day Edition

So how many of you, chickadees, are scrambling to find that perfect outfit for the upcoming lovey-dovey holiday??? Even though we're staying in that night, it's still fun to dress up and I've been thinking how much I need a new dress for the occasion!  But HH keeps reminding me that what we really need are tickets out to visit my family and friends in the US--hate it when he's right!  So, imagine how happy I was when I found this video by my dear friend, Hilary Rushford the founder of Dean Street Society and stylist extraordinaire!  In it, she talks about how shopping for holiday clothes can be such a waste because you may end up with a gorgeous dress, but the chances of you wearing it again are few.  So, she suggests either adding in a fun accessory that livens up your outfit for the day/night OR investing in a piece that you can see yourself wearing at least twice in the coming year.  Such great tips!  So, here are a few cutesy accessories for Valentine's Day that are sure to dress up any LBD and a couple investment pieces that I would definitely be wearing all year {seriously, how amazing is that handbag???}


Ban.do Headband/Urban Outfitters Belt/Anthropologie Lingerie/ LOVE Necklace/Heart Scarf/Heart Umbrella/Gorgeous Proenza Schouler Handbag


Make sure to check out Hilary's video here for all four of her great tips on Dressing for the Holidays!  And let me know which accessory/piece you love the most!:)

Happy Shopping!

  3. I'm totally onboard with the philosophy to just add a new special accessory. I'm thinking your husband would probably appreciate the lingerie the most. :) ..... and is that seriously one of those stretch metal belts that I wore in the 80's? I had forgotten about those?!? Too cute!
