Valentine Vixen

Feb 9, 2017 · by Kara Tapangan


Dress: Likely (Plum and Black) || Shoes: Saks Fifth Avenue || Purse: Gucci || Earrings: Target

I’m not a very big fan of Valentine’s Day.

I think its because I’m not a huge fan of candy, flowers, or forced romantic gestures but, I will say, it was pretty fun whipping up a Valentine’s Day outfit to share with y’all! This year, I was looking for a more chic, sexy dress for the big day.

First off, the material is AMAZING. It was well forming and made me look super shapely. Granted, I felt a little self-conscious in such a tight dress but overall, I felt like a bombshell. The slit along the side made the dress so comfortable and fun to eat and dance in. If you have big plans for Valentine’s or formal, this is definitely one I recommend.

This dress is absolutely gorgeous and while I think it’s totally one to have in your closet, if you can’t shell out $400 bucks, you can still look gorgeous in it (and for less than $100!).  Ever heard of Rent The Runway? It’s a genius company that allows you to rent out high-end expensive gowns for a few days  – and at a fraction of the cost! This Likely Dress in Plum was only $70 to rent for the weekend, and they even send a back up size to assure that you have the perfect dress! Trust me ladies, if you’re looking for a dress for Prom, Homecoming, or a wedding, its definitely worth checking out!

Since, I’m a total homebody, there’s a chance I’ll be spending Valentine’s at home watching The Office or Bob’s Burgers, but definitely comment below or tag me on Instagram if you recreate the look!

Thanks for stopping by!
