Step out with your husband in a cute floral strapless number, like this Garvin sequined silk-chiffon mini dress by Diane von Furstenberg:
Sidle up to the Valentine’s ‘theme’ with a red wool coat you can wear all winter long. Accentuate your legs in metallic pumps, and bring it all together with a gold clutch:
Get a similar floral/red coat combo for less with these:
What do you think? Would you rock this?

So seeing as how I live in Wisconsin where we have really bad winters i.e. snow storms every other week, in Feb, can you suggest something for V-day that’s relates more to my seasonal environment.

Love the DIANE VON FURSTENBERG dress. I wish, I could fit into something like that.

Claire, you always KILL IT on the what to wear spreads. FAB

@Edotwright To make this cold weather proof, you can add some tights, layer a sweater under your coat, add some cold weather accessories (hat, scarf, gloves), and voila. Or you could just wear a long sleeved dress, like Emiliy B is wearing in the previous post (it’s red, and as I stated at the end of the post, perfect for Valentine’s day).

I think Edotwright you may need to add a boot. There are so many glorious boot to wear. I am in Southern California and I am going to San Francisco this weekend. I am so excited about having the opportunity to wear boots. I think you guys are so tired of cold weather everyone is already getting ready for spring. Think I will do a post on cold weather fashion. I can live vicariously through you North Easterners.

@Theresa Yay! Doing these is literally like giving birth. Takes a bit of time, but it’s always rewarding when it actually works out.
