I hope you'll forgive the amount of photos here, I just love how these came out. Free People was kind enough to send me this dress in honor of Valentines Day, which is fitting, as I actually plan to celebrate the holiday this year. I've always written it off as too much pressure, smack in the middle of what I consider to be a cold and dreary month, but I'm changing my perspective. Whether you have a special someone or not, Valentine's Day offers the ideal opportunity to show those around you a little sweetness, to cheer up their cold and dreary February. Make someone a little something, send a note, have a little romance. Romance is too easily forgotten in our stress-filled days of work, work, work. Thank you to everyone who left comments on Monday's post with Valentines suggestions, I loved reading about your traditions and how you make the holiday your own!
I dressed down this shimmery dress by layering what has to be the softest sweater in existence over it (with a big warm coat over that- not pictured), and adding basic black tights and boots. I know headpieces aren't for everyone, but they should be. This one made me feel pretty magical.
To see the inspiration behind Free People's latest catalog come to life, take a look at this- very romantic- video.

I'm with you on celebrating Valentine's day this year just to sweeten things up a bit. It's SO easy to forget the romance in a world that's constantly going-going-going. :-)
