Soft & Subtle

 Happy Hump Day, Friends!! ( I always feel a little perverted when I say that... haha, can't help it).
Today I have another Valentine's inspired outfit for you! (#3). This time I went for something super soft and subtle. I'm loving the monochrome look lately but I'm so used to contrast in my outfits so I couldn't full commit just yet. Instead I played with two shades. A pale pink and beige. I wore this to work without the belt but ended up feeling like it needed a little color and shape to break it up. I like it much better with the belt! Oh, and we took these photos in a hurry as the sun was setting so pardon the less-than-optimal quality.
This sweater/cardigan was something I picked up from ModCloth during the sales. It was the last one left and I couldn't pass it up! I love the ruffles, the different texture and I wish you could see the sleeves! I can't wait until it's warmer so I can wear it more. Actually everything but the shoes in this outfit was on sale for a killer price! I got the skirt at Ross and the blazer at Forever21 on clearance.
Do you all have exciting plans for Valentines tomorrow?! I want to hear :) We're waiting until Saturday to really celebrate since we're pretty busy during the week, but I'll be thinking love-y thoughts all day!

Top (cardigan) - ModCloth
Blazer - Forever 21 (clearance!)

This is so soft & gorgeous Jessi! The top & skirt combo actually kind of remind me of something from Downton Abbey :-). I love the pink & beige together. You look like a porcelain doll here lady!

Llara G said...

The top and skirt are super cute together - at first glance I thought they were a dress. Love.

Adrienne said...

Ahhh.. I love this blushy pink!!!!!

I need more blushes/peaches in my life!

You look super adorable!

Our plans?
Our date is TONIGHT!
We're wearing matching shirts (yes, we're that couple), seeing a movie and dinner.
That's it.

Nothing crazy :D Just a normal date night.... Which is long overdue ;)

Oh, I love the soft, romantic look (and really commend you for actually going outside in the cold to capture this look for us!). It is gorgeous and dreamy.

Ashley @TheCreamToMyCoffee said...

Well, first of all I am jealous of the snow you've got on the ground. It finally snowed in OK yesterday but nothing stuck because it's been so warm :(

I love the romantic vintage vibe you've got going on with the outfit - those oxfords are so cute!

We celebrated Valentine's last weekend so we're going to babysit my nephew on Thursday - I'm looking forward to it!

Why are you so precious?! Seriously, you're like a Disney princess in my mind. Always so lovely and cute. The colors in this outfit are so nice, and I love all the flowy fabric you're wearing. So brave of you to go out in the cold!

No plans for V-day here, haha! I am seeing my dad for lunch, though. ;) Only man I need in my life right now!

Yay! I'm excited to get glasses :D I'm going to be like Zooey Deschanel with a pixie cut (at least I like to think that!)

Your skirt is super pretty on you and I LOVE those shoes! They are so perfect - and all the sales going on now has been kind of wonderful. That cardigan was a perfect Modcloth find - I didn't even see it up ther e- and I Love it on you.

This is really lovely! I really like the pairing of the dusty rose/taupe with the light pink, it really is just so soft and pretty! I really like the shoes with it too, fabulous styling! Daniel and I will be going out to dinner where we went after we got engaged :) It's sort of a nostalgic spot for us, I love Valentine's Day so I'm really looking forward to it. Dressing up and going out is so much fun! (even with all the restaurant crammedness haha!)

Well... said...

I know, I just can't commit to a completely monochromatic look! You just gotta mix it up a little. Haha, I love your take on it with the pink and beige. Plus, a cute belt! You look perfectly adorable and romantic :)
I'm planning on having a Galentine's day with my friends this year <3

loving the soft colors and those shoes! LOVE!

Shon said...

Your bold lip color is a nice surprise against the pale hues in your outfit.

I really love getting different pieces at different times and making an outfit that totally works. You will get a lot of mileage out of these pieces.

Have fun and Happy Valentine's Day

Hi Jessi, I love the sweet femininity of this outfit, the dress is so floaty and beautiful in a lovely hazy shade, love that you didn't opt for heels! The brogues are perfect with it and add a vintage touch, you look stunning!Thanks for your visit, hope you are having a great week so far and Happy Valentine's day, if you're celebrating :)

LOVE the shoes! Gosh I just have major shoe envy towards you ;) LOVE all the soft colors.

BTW- I DID get those Target sparkly shoes! the gold and silver were on sale for $10. I have been eyeing the cheetah ones for a while, too, but they're $20 and i don't feel like paying that much ha ha :)
