V-Day OOTD

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new OOTD here on lifewithlilred! Johnny and I enjoyed a magnificent Valentine’s Day date with dinner at Boss ChickNBeer and an evening at a Cupid’s Revenge haunted house. For dinner, I paired the look you are about to see with a sweetheart cardigan. Then, I let it all hang out at the haunted house because it was an event that definitely teetered on the sexy side! This little fit was a huge hit and I felt like an absolute star in it. In fact, Johnny and I were so well dressed that we ended up making friends with every single person who complimented us! ❤ Check it out:

Who? What? Wear?

Bralette: Victoria’s Secret

Bubble Skirt: A New Day, Target

Heeled Mules: Betsey Johnson, TJMaxx

Heart Earrings: SugarFix By Baublebar, Target

As the Cupid’s Revenge haunt erred on the side of sexy, I decided to follow suit and put the lingerie as everyday wear trend to good use. I had a few different bralette options in mind including an adorable one with embroidered hearts on it. That was actually my original plan until I pivoted to an All Black Everything ensemble. I’ll be honest with you, I genuinely forgot I had the Vicky’s Secret bralette you see above so when I found it, it was game on. This little number is sexy with a capital S E X Y. I absolutely love the black lace over the nude background and find it to be such a chic pairing. While this was quite revealing, I felt fully comfortable in it as it is so supportive with six tabs to attach in the back. I was able to hit the dance floor at the haunt without any fear of a wardrobe malfunction! (Although it for sure wouldn’t have mattered there!)

The evening of our date was blessedly warm which gave me the opportunity to go with a skirt to pair the bralette with. Even if it was bitter cold, I still think I would have worn it because I would do anything for fashion! And besides, it was a very short walk into the haunted house. 😀 Since the bralette was so form fitting, I wanted to add some dimension and went for my gorgeous bubble skirt by A New Day. It made for such an interesting silhouette and was such fun to twirl in to the pop hits blasting through the speakers. This skirt added a dose of sweetness to the sex appeal and made for a perfect combination.

Finally, it was onto shoes and accessories. For shoes, I went for a pair of heeled mules by Betsey Johnson for a touch of quirky cute with those striped heels and embroidered flowers. They were also a strategic choice as the heel was nice and sturdy for our trek through the haunt. With my tattoos doing a majority of the talking, all that was left to do was slip on a pair of earrings. The three tiered hearts by BaubleBar provided a pop of color and V-Day flare. With that, I was ready for our amazing night on the town!

Sometimes you just have to get sexy and what better occasion than Valentine’s Day?!

Beach Bombshell OOTD

Beach Bombshell OOTD

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new OOTD here on lifewithlilred! Or, rather, welcome to some pictures of me in a bikini lol. In one of my favorite shows, Superstore, one of the characters claims that bikinis and Halloween costumes are the same thing. You wear them every year until they’re threads and then get a new one. I can confirm that to be true, in regards to the bikini part anyways, because the one you are about to see is probably over a decade old at this point. However, it’s one of the only ones I have so that was good enough for me when Johnny and I went to Geneva On The Lake! Check it out:

^^^ You can peep more from this look on my TikTok @lilred6794 !!

As I was saying, I purchased this bikini a long time ago. In fact, I was still working retail at PacSun when I got it which means I was around nineteen at the time. I still remember it. My coworker went to Victoria’s Secret on her break, bought the exact same bikini you see above for her vacation, showed it to me when she returned, and I fell in love. As a bustier gal, it can be hard to find a suit that is supportive enough and my mind was blown when she told me that the tops went by bra size as opposed to Small, Medium, and Large. It was exactly what I needed and I went on my break and followed (swim)suit by getting the same one lol. Total poser, yes, but I just couldn’t resist because this was the best fitting bikini I have ever tried on and that still remains to be true.

It’s not like I haven’t bought other swimsuits in the twelve or so years since I got this bikini. I just can’t seem to part with it though because it still fits and it’s still cute AF! The bustier top, the sweet and sunny pastel hues, and the sassy strap sides on the bottoms are truly a match made in fun in the sun heaven. And the thing is, regardless of the age of this suit, it really hasn’t been worn all that much for two reasons. 1) As a very pale gal, beach and lake situations aren’t my bag because I burn so easily. As I write this, it has been ten days since visiting Geneva On The Lake and I am still peeling constantly. And 2) I refuse to get my hair wet to increase the longevity of my colorfully dyed hair. In the twelve plus years of having this bikini, I’ve probably only worn it twenty times and even that feels like an exaggeration. Here’s to another twelve years of my Beach Bombshell bikini because I fear I well never find one as good as this!

My beloved Victoria’s Secret swimsuit is blessedly not in threads yet and fingers crossed that it stays that way for forever!

Do you have any super old clothes in your wardrobe? How do you keep them looking brand new? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
