XOXO OOTD

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new OOTD here on lifewithlilred! Apparently Valentine’s Day was yesterday so I just had to put together a little inspo for that because everyone I know is celebrating this weekend. It’s hard to do much of anything during the work week! After a fantastic shopping trip to TJMaxx with my mom, I knew exactly what I wanted to wear for a V-Day look. Stay tuned for more from a fabulous haul after the blooper reel tomorrow. 🙂 Now, let’s get to it:

Who? What? Wear?

Red Heart Button Down: Jane + Delancey, TJMaxx (As seen on yesterday’s post!)

Coated Jeans: Seven Jeans, TJMaxx

Red Heels: Reaction By Kenneth Cole, TJMaxx

(I got the rose earrings forever ago at PacSun!)

My XOXO OOTD was an incredibly easy one to style because I built the outfit in my head as soon as I tried on my Jane + Delancey button down in the TJMaxx fitting room. In fact, this is usually how I determine if something I try on is worth buying. There’s no point in bringing something home that doesn’t work with the clothes I already own! So, naturally, creating this outfit started with the button down and then it was onto assembling the rest of the look…

For jeans, I decided to go with my coated pair of snakeskin patterned skinnies by Seven Jeans. These were a strategic choice because I wanted to incorporate some edge as well as texture. The sweet as can be heart pattern on the top definitely called for some toughening up! The sheen of the pants also added visual interest to the look because the button down is of the softest cotton that it almost has a matte finish to it. Adding that touch of sleek shine to this outfit really helped make things pop and the effect just wouldn’t be the same with a plain pair of skinnies.

Next, it was onto shoes and accessories to complete the look. The shoes were a no brainer and I slipped on a pair of red heels by Kenneth Cole. I absolutely love the chunky block heel and the buckle and fringe in the front turn a classic shape into something exciting. And, of course, they helped tie the look together from head to toe. The last thing I did was put on a pair of vintage style earrings with a red rose smack dab in the middle. These felt perfect for Valentine’s Day and, like the jeans, were a strategic choice. I wanted to leave my neck bare since I wasn’t showing a lot of skin. With that, I was ready to step out in Love Day style!

My XOXO OOTD is a sweet and sassy take on a Valentine’s Day look. It is one that can be easily replicated and will be sure to blow your date away!

New Jane + Delancey Button Down

Hello darlings and Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you! This past Thursday, I had a surprise afternoon off and was able to spend that time with my mom for a girls day out. We started our extravaganza with a delicious lunch at Panera and then shopped till we dropped at TJMaxx. It was perfect and we had so much fun together doing two of my favorite activities – shopping and lunching lol. We also went to TJMaxx at a great time too because all of their new spring arrivals were out and it was glorious. You’ll see more from my haul after a brand new OOTD tomorrow! Now, check out this adorable Jane + Delancey Button Down:

Naturally at TJs, there was a lot of Valentine’s Day apparel on display. Normally, I am not one for holiday themed clothes because the time you can wear them is so limited. I like clothes that will work for a majority of the seasons or year round. However, I just had to add the heart adorned button down from Jane + Delancey to my try on pile. The stark white base with the red embroidered hearts spoke to me and it was so different than the other V-Day clothes available. I was drowning in a sea of pink!

Although I loved the shirt on the hanger, I wasn’t completely sold on it. That is, until I tried it on! As soon as I looked at myself in the mirror, I knew it was a winner and, most importantly, my mom agreed too. The fit of the button down was oversized without being huge. It looked flirty and fun and it surprised me by being something that I would happily wear beyond February. I can’t wait to wear it in the summer tucked into a pair of jean shorts with a cute pair of wedges. This top looked even better on than I could have imagined and I can’t wait for you to see it in the OOTD post tomorrow. 🙂

I hope all of you have a wonderful V-Day! You are all my Valentines and thank you for continuing to tune into all of the latest and greatest here on lifewithlilred! ❤
