08 Feb THT-Another Casual Look for Valentine’s Day
I do think I found the casual look I will wear for Valentine’s Day.
Another Casual Valentine’s Day Look
I mixed a bit of romantic print with my wide leg cropped denim today for an easy V-day look. (well really, I would wear this anytime)
You all know that I love some floral prints, and this silk blouse by Haute Hippie lept out at me! The pink and red roses, almost impressionistic in nature, is a blouse I reach for often. The blouse is light, and has a longer back hem than the front. I have tucked it in, so it doesn’t show at the moment, but it certainly could be worn without tucking.
The Tom’s peep toe booties in a taupe shade gave a little nod to Spring with the peep toe style.
My red Prada bag added to the feminine look with the bows in the front.
Even though I am tall, I prefer to wear a heel with the cropped denim, as they continue to lengthen the leg, even with the cropped jean.
If you aren’t tall, certainly a higher rise cropped leg jean would look great and lengthen your leg, especially if worn with a heel.
Another tip if adding a 3rd piece. If you are interested in adding a jacket- look for ones at no longer than your waist, as to not cut off the proportions of the jeans.
Haute Hippie- My blouse
Haute Hippie (not sponsored) don’t you love that name? I came across it looking at blouses, and thought it was a great combination of Haute Couture and Hippie or Boho style. The brand originated out of a Manhattan apartment in 2008 and I love their description-“She is ageless, confident, and independent. A global nomad. Inspired by the word “Gyp-Set.” A free spirited mix of Gypsy, Jet Set, Rock&Roll and Boho.
You can see how I styled it before, in this post- HERE.
Weekend
We had a fun date night on Saturday, and I mentioned in yesterday’s post we went to the Becthlers Museum of Modern Art. After, we tried to get a seat at the Barcellona Wine Room, but at 5:30(!) there weren’t any! The place held about 6 people. ( Ok I am exaggerating, but it was quite small). Fortunately, we went to a place called Soul, which was a happy finding. A tapas bar, we enjoyed sushi, babagonush, oysters.

Posted at 22:27h, 08 FebruaryI haven’t been to a tapas place in ages! That sounds fun! I really love the pops of red in this outfit! I am a little on the tall side– 5’7″, but I do enjoy wearing heels sometimes. I usually go for a lower heel, though. That bag is gorgeous!

I won’t be wearing anything special for Valentine’s day – we don’t really celebrate it in Australia!
Thanks for the link up!
Hope that you are having a good week! First week of school here for the kids 🙂
