I wanted to bring you guys a different spin on the usual red or pink outfit post for this Valentine’s Day inspired look. Red is undoubtedly a color of love, romance, and passion. Black on the other hand is more mysterious, powerful, and sexy. You’ve probably heard that every woman should own a little black dress (also known as an “LBD”) and you know why? Because black is timeless and has the power to make a statement without needing bold colors or accessories. The right black look has the ability to show off your body without having to show any skin at all, its magical that way! So if you are over the cliche red dress this year, try breaking out some black and gold pieces from your closet. I chose to add in some pops of red for the occasion to be more festive but the great thing about black and gold is that they go with any color! So choose whatever your favorite color is and rock that.

This flirty little dress is from last season but don’t you worry because I went ahead and picked out my favorite black and gold dress options here, here, here, and here. All are under $75! As I said before if you do not already own a LBD, you can find my favorites here, here and here and my advice is that you should always have one handy! You never know when the occasion might strike to pull out that secret weapon 🙂

Happy hump day friends! We are only 4 sleeps away from Valentine’s Day!
