Today's WEEK OF LOVE post is all about finding ways to incorporate red into your wardrobe. While I'm always riding solo on Valentine's Day, it doesn't mean that I can't rock something extra sweet the day of. Being alone doesn't have to be a negative thing to attribute on V-Day, and I really like showing that in what I'm wearing. So wearing the color on the 14th has always been my favorite, and whether it is a dress, skirt, or top, I'm certain to find something that will match how I'm feeling. This year is no exception, so I wanted to find 10 ways to wear red that anyone could pull off!
1. A Midi Skirt
ASOS Curve Midi Pencil Skirt ($26): First up is something I would more than likely wear if I had it in my wardrobe. A red midi skirt is the perfect way to allow it to mix with colors, especially if it's the main color that you're aiming for. Made of stretch jersey fabric, this would be super comfortable to wear for a night out on the town with your gals!
2. A Fit-And-Flare Dress
Prove Your Groove Dress in Ruby Roses ($120): This dress is extra magical, and I've been eyeing it for awhile. This fit-and-flare dress is the perfect match for my body type and would definitely have me feeling romantic. The detail of the roses makes its so beautiful, and you'll definitely be turning heads with the daring neckline.
3. A Comfortable Shoe
Charlotte's Web Flat ($595): Not only do these flats look comfortable, but they're so cute! With inspiration of a book of the same name, these smoking flats have a embroidered web featuring a crystal spider. That gold heel is pretty fantastic as well!
4. A Fancy Top
Lace Babydoll Top ($39): This is just my type of top, as you can layer underneath it! I would definitely wear this on an everyday basis, as it is pretty versatile in the way you can style it. Not only can it show your romantic side, but pair it with the right edgy accessory, and you're one tough chick!
5. A Printed Scarf
that's a wrap ban.do scarf ($24): That's a wrap, indeed! A scarf is one of my favorite accessories and this would be such a perfect addition to any outfit. Don't want to wear all red? Just pop this on and you're good to go.
6. A Pair Of Cool Shades
Classic Vintage Wayfarer Sunglasses ($17): What's cooler than a great pair of Wayfarer shades? These vintage sunglasses would be perfect for an outdoor date with your gal pals!
7. A Beautiful Matte Lipstick
Redrum - Jeffree Star Cosmetics ($18): I'm all about matte lipsticks lately, and so this beautiful version by Jeffree Star has hearts in my eyes.  After watching him swatch this in one of his videos only made me want this shade even more. I will definitely be wearing a red lipstick on Sunday.
8. A Go-To Accessory
Red Heart Cross-body Purse ($38): HOW CUTE IS THIS? This adorable heart shaped cross-body bag will be perfect for keeping all your makeup and money somewhere safe. It even has a detachable silver strap!
9. A Sexy Lingerie Set
Serenity Underwire Cut Out Longline Bra ($96) + Serenity Lace Cut Out High Waist Brief ($77): Who doesn't want to feel sexy on Valentine's Day?! This lingerie set by Journelle will definitely get you feeling extra frisky, even if no one sees it but yourself.
10. Long-Lasting Nail Polish
Pillar Box Red Nail Lacquer ($15): butterLondon has always been one of my favorite nail polish brands, and I love how attainable it is to purchase now. This shade called 'Pillar Box' will get everyone asking you where you got your nails done!

Today is officially the launch of my WEEK OF LOVE, all leading up to to February 14th. This week is going to be full of the color red, ways to make the special day unique to what you want it to be, recommendations for movies and so much more. I no longer want to call the day Valentine's Day, and I really like the idea of it being called Galentine's Day instead! Thank you to Leslie Knope for making it ladies celebrating ladies! Having never been in a relationship, I've grown used to spoiling myself on the day of and this year is no different. So let's get this party started.
Red has always been one of my favorite colors, as it evokes a lot of different emotions. When wearing it, I feel sexy and empowered. There's nothing better than that, right?! This inspiration board is going to make you feel lovey dovey, extra sweet and maybe even sexy yourself! Think of red paired with blacks, whites and pinks and you've got yourself a beautiful palette of colors. Throw in some runway looks, retro motifs, some decorating tips and you've got yourself the start of a beautiful week ahead. Stay tuned tomorrow for a few tips on what to wear on Galentine's Day!

If you ask anyone who really and truly knows me, they'll say that I sometimes act like a hopeless romantic. I would have to agree with that statement, and I am not ashamed of it. I love a good romantic novel (Hello, I am a Janeite!) and tend to enjoy a great romance movie here or there. I also think that this time of year is a great time to be a romantic. I mean, you look outside and it's cloudy and dark and you can't help but feel and embrace the mood in the atmosphere. Like anything in life, this can also translate very well into fashion. Deep burgundy, red hues and luxurious fabrics are the perfect way to wear your heart on your sleeve! The perfect collection to draw inspiration from is definitely Marchesa Fall 2013. It's just so beautiful. Also, enjoy some great accessories you can incorporate to make you extra romantic.
A Hopeless Romantic
