Tomorrow, Friday February 7th, is National Wear Red Day in honor of supporting the fight against heart disease. Did you know that it's the #1 killer among women in the United States claiming more lives than all types of cancers combined?!? I was most definitely surprised to discover that information. Each February, the American Heart Association hosts a live-streaming fashion show to help raise awareness. You can find out more information here.

 

I've selected a few ways that you could wear red tomorrow to show your support and help spread the word. Whether it's a full on red dress or just a hint of red nail polish, I encourage you to put your own personal twist on this fabulous challenge. Don't forget to Facebook, Tweet & Instagram about it using the hashtags #GoRed #WearRedDay or #GoRedChallenge. You can also tweet at the cause @GoRedForWomen. I can't wait to see what red pieces you rock tomorrow!

 

P.S. this is not a sponsored post but a cause that I care very deeply for! I hope you'll participate on Friday!

Outfit Post: 1 Dress, 2 Seasons + The Impeccable Pig

 

If there's one thing I love in my wardrobe, it's a piece that can be worn season to season. After all, we've got to make the most of what's in our closet, right? When I saw this tribal print dress at The Impeccable Pig, I knew I had fallen in love with it. However, our freezing temperatures weren't exactly making this frock winter friendly. So read below on how I came up with the idea to make this bright and bold beauty February appropriate.

Winter:

The Impeccable Pig Do It For Love Lace Top (borrowed)

Zara Studded Booties (old - very similar from Jessica Simpson)

Simply Vera Opaque Tights

3.1 Phillip Lim x Target Mini Pashli (splurge option) || Jewelmint Audrey Earrings (similar style) || Caravelle by Bulova Rose Gold Watch c/o LuckyFABB (love this one too) || Revlon "Fuchsia Fusion" Lipstick

 

Spring:

Zara Rose Gold Metallic Pump w/ Ankle Strap (sold out - J. Crew version on sale!)

Marc Jacobs NM x Target Rose Gold Clutch (super similar style) || Michael Kors "Bradshaw" Rose Gold Watch || Blu Bijou Pearl Bangles c/o Max & Chloe || Number Rings (similar splurge)

 

 It's really fun to transition a summer piece into winter because there are so many different ways to style it. As you can see, layering is the key factor here. My thick tights and super cute long sleeve collared blouse turn this bright spring dress into a perfectly warm winter look. Originally I had wanted to do a chambray underneath (another helpful trick for spring pieces during winter) but the black top just made the outfit look much cleaner and sleeker. I think the lace detail on the collar also helped - this would be a great shirt with a pair of jeans and heels.

 

For spring, you really can't go wrong. The colors are so bold and fun so I wanted to amp them up with rose gold details like my strappy pumps and clutch. Can I just say I'm ready for spring temps?!Enough of these freezing temps already!

 

What are some of your favorite ways to transition pieces from season to season? Oh and did I mention that this dress and top are now available on The Impeccable Pig's online store?! Lucky you!

Today's post is short and sweet. Since I create so many outfits based around my love for Florida State Football, I thought it would be fun to do the same for the Super Bowl! I honestly can't decide who I want to win more. I have loved Peyton Manning for years (it runs DEEP), but Russell Wilson is such a great kid with a good heart and I think he's definitely going to be the real deal for the NFL. No matter which team you're rooting for I hope you enjoy the day with good friends and good food! Oh yeah.. and a GREAT outfit! Happy Super Bowl Sunday! xo
