Or how to dress for Valentine’s with a sense of humor.

Maybe you’ve read some of my Valentine’s posts and you’re worried that I hate Valentine’s Day. That may be a valid worry, but let me assure you that I love love. (I even have Shark Love. And totally get a pass on that bad dad joke because of love.) Things I also love? Dressing with a sense of humor, sequin skirts, and outfits that work for any sort of date night (even Valentine’s Day).

***About Sharks. I couldn’t resist this sweater as it’s just so cheeky. BUT. There’s no way I’m the only one who’s fascinated by and scared by sharks all at the same time. After seeing “Jaws” for the first time, I didn’t get in the ocean for years. And did you know the Ocean is the love of my life?

Right now, there are articles out there that will tell you how to dress sexy or romantic on Valentine’s Day. And I get it. It’s a night (or day) of romance, and there’s not a thing wrong with dressing to theme. (I’m a fan of dressing to theme.) There’s also everything right with dressing to show your personality, and a sense of humor is one of my most favorite things to showcase. Even through, and especially with, my fashion.

Yes, this is the part where I let you know (again) how much I love juxatipositons and cheekiness.
Loves, it’s aok to love love and love to laugh. (Side bar: if you don’t love to laugh, are you ok? If you’re with someone who you can’t laugh with is that really a love you love? Would Shark Love help you?)

So, my take on a “great Valentine’s look” is a little cheeky, a little funny. No, it’s not my only one. But, can you resist the sparkles and the shark? That this is look is perfect for the office (with a different skirt) and for date night (with a skirt like this). To me, this look says you’re ready for love and you’re good with a great laugh. What’s more attractive than that?

Some notes:
-If you’re scared of sharks, another animal would work just as well here as would any graphic sweater or shirt (I hear hearts are popular this time of year)
-Another great skirt (leather, maybe?) could replace the sequins
-Love. But let you shine through. I know you’re fab and you’re loved for the real you.

Even if the real you loves Shark Love sweaters.

I’ve linked similar items below. Again, this is not my only “Valentine’s look” ( I do have something more traditional to show you!), but I’d love to know. What do you wear for Valentine’s?

Skin Print: What I’m Missing

Investemnt Piece: Skin Print

Usually posts will tell you about something that I’m using, or have, that I just can’t get enough of; and how I think you would love it too. This isn’t exactly that kind of post. I don’t know about you, but the holiday season kicked my booty a little. There were parties and events and travel. There was a list of things to do a mile long. I got behind, I let things slide, I gave up on some things. And in the midst of cheer and being stressed out, I forgot to reorder my skin care.

Yes, things that I love that I use daily, I forgot.

And when I forgot, I let it go. There was just so much to do, and I was overwhelmed so I put down “order Skin Print” on my list. I didn’t get around to ordering Skin Print.

There is no one more upset than me.

This isn’t a post where I tell you I’ve been using it and I love it. This is a post where I tell you I can promise it works, because I can tell the difference when I don’t use it.

Investment Piece: Skin Print, Eye Deal

You heard me gush about Eye Deal here. The thing is, I was right. I have been out for maybe a month. I can tell a difference in my circles, my puffiness, my lines. Yes, there are great products out there, but a month without my fave made me realize just how well it works. Can you only imagine how young I would look if I had had it?

I get ill just thinking about it.

But, it made me get on the ball. And I’m saving you–get on the ball with me. I won’t gush or bribe you. I’m going to just say, I can tell I’m not using it, and I don’t like looking my age.

You can order EyeDeal here.

Investment Piece: Skin Print
Another thing I hate about getting older? For some reason, I’m breaking out. (I was one of the lucky ones who didn’t have an acne problem in high school. I wish for you skin problems when all of your peers are also suffering.) What helps? This exfoliant. How do I know? While I’ve been out, my skin has been worse. And I was only using it once a week! When I get my package, that number will go up.

You can get your hands on this miracle here.

There are so many more products that I’m missing. The moisturizer. The sunscreen. The anti-wrinkle treatment. Moral of the story? Don’t be like me. Order your products. Make sure that you have them in stock. Use them. Let’s be on the ball together. Deal?
