Hello Ladies! Are you ready for a week of Valentine’s Day inspiration??  All 3 posts this week will have a little Valentine’s Day theme starting off with some date night outfit inspiration.  Red and pink is the perfect color combination for a Valentine’s Day outfit!  I love mixing these colors year round.  It’s such a fun color mix to pull out especially this month.

This red bow skirt is perfect for date night!!!  The cute bow detail adds something fun and the flared design adds something flirty to the mix.  If you want to add a little subtle sexiness to the look, you could swap out my pink sleeveless blouse for a black bodysuit.  You can still keep the color mix with pink heels.  I went with this pink blouse to make this a great work to date night outfit.  This pink blouse is one of those classic pieces to wear in summer with shorts or white jeans and with layers in the winter.  With the super flared skirt, you want to keep your top fitted or just slightly loose.  This blouse would be a good example of slightly loose but not too loose.   Any bigger and your proportions might be off and it might make you look bigger with the high volume skirt.

If you are looking for more places to wear this outfit or skirt, I think it would be cute to wear to a wedding or shower.  I’m planning to pull this skirt out again for Christmas parties at the end of the year!

What are you Valentine’s Day plans?  We are planning a quiet night in and cooking a fancy dinner.  Neither of us are big fans of the pre-fix menus and decided to go out another night and enjoy a full menu selection at a nice restaurant.  Stay tuned this week for more Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s Day outfit inspiration! See you again soon friends.

What I Wore This Month (September 2019)

What I Wore This September | Fall and Summer Outfits | Popular Fashion Blog Lady in Violet

Hello friends!!  It’s time for my monthly outfit rewind of some of my top daily looks from September.  I added a new mirror to my apartment which meant I was able to snap a few extra photos of my daily outfits.  Thanks to my mirror, I expect to have even more outfits in the coming months!  All of these outfits are shared throughout the month over on Instagram on my feed and in stories.  Not an Instagram user,  you can also see them on my Shop Instagram page too.

This month I have a mix of casual work outfits and end of summer weekend outfits.  My snakeskin heels are currently on a weekly rotation.  These heels had minimal break in time and are super comfy!  I also found a new addiction thanks to my boyfriend.  He gifted my my first pair of lululemon leggings for my birthday, and now I’m hooked. (FYI – I had these altered for Free at the store, my normal length would be 23 or 25.)  These leggings are pricey, but oh so comfy!  I never see them have storewide sales, but they do have a sale section called We Made Too Much.

Let me know in the comments which is your favorite outfit!

What I Wore This Summer

Hello Hello! Ok, I’m taking a step back into summer for a hot minute. I wanted to share a few of my daily outfits I wore over the past summer with you.  I shared all of these on Instagram on either my feed or in Stories, so you can always follow along (@karenkocich) to see these there.  I also upload them to the blog on the SHOP INSTAGRAM page found in the menu bar along with a few other goodies.

These outfits span from June through August.  A few items might be sold out in the color I’m wearing, and better news a few items may now be on major clearance! Many of my outfits this summer were casual day outfits. I did have a few travel looks and a couple date night outfits.

Hope you enjoy this look back at some of my daily summer outfits!

Happy Friday Ya’ll!  I’m so excited to start my weekend because it’s the start of my birthday week.  I have dinner plans with friends, lunch plans with family, and next week the boyfriend and I are heading to dinner.  It should be a fun week of celebrating!

Here on the blog, I’m wrapping up the summer outfit inspiration for you today.  One top trend that I’m slowly getting into is the twist waist top.  Its a super easy way to create that slightly tucked in look.  A twist or tie waist top can give you a little shape too.  For us petite gals, this can help by giving an illusion of longer legs since more jean shows.  This  green twist waist tank top will also work in fall paired with booties and cardigans.  The light green color will mix well with beiges and browns.

Alright ya’ll, get ready because we are kicking off Fall style on Monday!! I have some fabulous outfits and new ideas to share with you all for the fall season.  Stay tuned for all the fun!  Thanks for joining me for all your summer outfit needs this season! Hope ya’ll have a great weekend.
