MIXING FLORALS with a touch of Romance

Birth of Venus by Botticelli.

February seems to send me mixed messages.

1. Romance and lace with a lot of chocolate, or....

2. Really big, bulky sweaters.

February is truly an enigma !

Maybe some hot chocolate?

I've had this short sleeve floral dress since the early 90's. 

I love the print, so of course I tucked it away!

One day I thought of layering a small floral print underneath.

I added a shawl around my waist and pinned it with a big safety pin Heart brooch.

With my dangling pink heart and flower earrings.

A pop of Red lips and of course my fav. boots.

All done!

Do you wear the traditional RED outfit on St. Valentine's Day?

OR

Jump out of the heart-shaped box?
