Look, whether you love it, or love to hate it, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. And we are not here to have a say on either way, buuuutttt.... if you are going to celebrate the Day of Love, then let’s get you dressed. Just keep in mind our usual disclaimer and warning:  Don’t you dare let us catch you wearing a red heart sweater that lights up, or carrying a cupid-shaped purse. No novelty crap for "funny" t-shirts. These are  FASHION CRIMES, and we will call you out for that. #sorrynotsorry Instead, just listen to Holly! #Duh. We say it every week: “We are the best friend you never knew you needed in fashion.” And? Please repeat after us:  “Fashion is your Friend, Not Your Enemy!” In this week’s episode, Holly tells us all about the AMAZEBALLS Pinterest board she has set up just in time for Valentine’s Day outfit planning. If you can’t figure out what to wear after seeing all of her recommendations, then we need to call 911 for you.  If you are going to get dressed, then do it with intention! You need to think this through from head to toe. What is the weather like? It’s winter in most places, correct? So, put some damn clothes on that make sense. And, not every day is a home run, A special occasion like Valentine's Day is an easy way to experiment with fashion! Wear something you normally wouldn't wear like a fun accessory, or a really cool shoe - something that can really elevate your look.  Play with Fabrics: One idea is to experiment with different fabrics. Holly’s picks for fab fabrics are: Leather (she’s obsessed) Faux leather and faux fur Velvet Silk and more! In the words of Stacy London, who used to be a stylist and is Holly’s style icon: Color, pattern, texture, and shine are the things that you need to try to aim for when you're creating a cohesive outfit. Choose a velvet pant, a colored jean, a bomber jacket or a silky top and mix them with your favorite pieces. Oh, and by the way, fabrics like velvet are super COMFY, y’all!  Move Beyond the Sneakers: ALERT: You now need to wear shoes! Since COVID, we’ve only worn sneakers, but that is not gonna cut it if you are getting dressed if you're going somewhere fancy.  And, if the thought of stilettos horrifies you - like it does everyone - not to worry, try these options instead:  Block heels Wedge heels Booties with a shorter heel Fancy flats Tall Boots New Designers You Need to Know: Remember, a special occasion is your ticket to try something new! As always, Holly has hunted down some new designers just for you – and has examples of all of them on Pinterest.   (PS: You will only get this insider intelligence here, folks! “Best Friend You Never Knew You Needed in fashion,” remember?)
