This weekend is Valentine's Day weekend. And even though Theo and my idea of a romantic time is watching The Flash on Hulu,
it doesn't mean I can't dress the part...
Yes, love is a many splendored thing but so is dressing for the occasion! I've been looking forward to staying indoors and out of the way of date-nighters, makeup-diners, first timers and the obligatory symbolism that this holiday can bring out and give a bad name.
Instead, I wanted to play with the other stereotype of Valentine's Day:
the look of it all!
Theo and I are romantic almost 365 days out of the year. Extremely romantic. I married a man who loves love and he married a woman who loves to be absolutely adored. It worked out. But what I don't usually take the opportunity to do is indulge in my bohemian-romance daydreams. And what better occasion is there to go all out? And now I am sharing my lil romantic style side with you.
This look was made up of random fabrics and remnants I had in my sewing cabinet. For a chic minimalist like I like to think I am, I sure do own a lot of frilly crazy textiles. I guess it's all in how you wear it though. Afterall, I am only wearing two items.
I look forward to once and for all, doing something with these wonderful fabrics. Stay tuned!
oh, and happiest of Valentine's Days to you, lovely readers :)
Lovely post, glad you indulged!
ReplyDelete... I'm inspired. I need to kick-up my hair and find something sexy to wear! How the heck did you make all those print play so well together?!
ReplyDelete'Cause, she's FLY like that! Isn't it wonderful? :')
DeleteI already posted my comments and they never were published and I don't know or understand why
ReplyDeleteOoh la la. A little frill can add some interest sometimes.
ReplyDeleteTo bohemian-romance daydreams! Happy Valentine's
ReplyDeleteTheeeeeeee HAIR though!!! Noticed that rhymes with Theo? In which I know he had an extra blast shooting this one! You look stunning.
ReplyDeleteI haven't done THEME SONGS in a while; the theme song to this one is: IN A DREAM by Gretchen Parlato. Have you heard it before? I wouldn't be surprised because you're FLY like that.
What will you make of those wonderful frilly remnants? Pillows, draperies, shower curtain, scarf, a dope cloak, journal cover??? When you you do, send me one; of EACH!
IN A DREAM is the perfect musical accompaniment to this picture. L-o-v-e Gretchen Parlato almost as much as I love this site.
DeleteNatalie, you are making me rethink my whole wardrobe.
Wowzza! You scream a song "come play with me, come lay with me, come be my one & only lover" you're so dope. Luv all the textures surrounding you💛
ReplyDeleteVery sweet! I love the whole palette in the photos and as usually you look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby and I stayed in as well and we have the same philosophy on Valentines day. We celebrate our love everyday of the year so V-Day is literally just another day. We did however, take our babies out to dinner the day after. Hibachi! LOL
