signature COLORS: VALENTINE'S DAY

As a single girl, I look to Valentine's Day this year for a release of "cheesy" energy. Sometimes you just want to be a dork. So... what better way to celebrate than by getting all dressed up in the holiday's signature colors! Here you will find ways that Casey and I have incorporated the good ole red and pink into our routines! We have separated everything into one of two categories- subtle or extreme. If you want to go crazy and be a little more sassy this Valentine's Day, try our EXTREME looks. If you want to stay on the sweet side, stick with our SUBTLE looks.

SUBTLE NAILS

EXTREME HAIR

Temporary Hot Pink Tips

1. Wet your hair where you want the color to be.

2. Twist your hair and stroke with a soft pastel (like the chalky kind you create art with.)

3. Let hair dry and run a brush through the hair to remove excess chalk.

4. Style your hair in a way where it will not move a lot. It is best to braid your hair or pin it up in a bun to save your clothes from forming into the color of your hair. (I wore a black top so I could actually wear my hair down.)


WARNING- Your hands will more than likely end up like this... But with some soap and water it washes right off.

*We first saw this idea here.

SUBTLE OUTFITS
Savannah's Take

To make this outfit even more subtle, you could leave out the hat, we just really wanted to say "Valentine's Day" with these looks. Pairing a red skirt with a very pale pink top works so well, you could wear it on any day- you don't have to save it for February 14th. Adding neutral accessories and shoes tones down the look just enough.

Casey's Take

What better way to dress for the occasion than with a rose print shirt? The mixed denim keep this look simple. Casey played this look up with piled on bracelets and a sweet red headband.

EXTREME OUTFITS
Savannah's Take

So maybe I'm taking the pink and red thing a little too far but I just can't resist... I like the clash that comes from a bright orange-y red and hot bubble gum-ish pink. I added in a plain red to provide a buffer and the black blazer cools it off, barely.
Dress- F21, Blazer- F21, Tights- Target, Locket Necklace- F21, Scarf- F21... seems there is a trend in this outfit... Shoes- Nine West, Hoop earrings- I can't remember but let's just say F21, it's very likely.
Casey's Take

Seems Casey likes the red and pink clash too. This look shows us just how versatile this denim jacket is. The glitter belt and the heart necklace add a special sparkly touch.

Dress- Suzy Chin for Maggy Boutique , Jacket- American Eagle, Watch- homemade (DIY coming THIS week), Necklace- Target, Belt- NY&Co., Headband- F21, Shoes-Jessica Simpson
