Dress Week Came From Outer Space! Valentine's Day Candy!

Dress Week continues! 

And I intend to carry it on for a full week, so right up to Monday. Feeling inspired? Give it a try! Dresses are awesome.

Also awesome? Valentine's Day. 

Bam! V-Day in your face! My office has been decorated with coloured paper hearts with quotes about love for 2 weeks, and we've been having Valentine's trivia draws for chocolates and little prizes daily. I didn't win any of the draws, but for the final day today I won a huge box of chocolates. Aw!

I got a lot of comments on this and quite a bit of the side-eye from strangers when I went outside during the day. I felt like a Japanese cartoon character, and one of my co-workers said, "You look like candy!"

What would you think if you saw this woman on the street?

I had another dress outfit planned, but then I was like, "What am I thinking? It's Valentine's Day - I've got to get my colours on!" I was glad I did - it was fun to be a little over-the-top.

Starting off with this amazing pink dress. I first wore it here (3rd outfit) for L's birthday party in June 2013. I only paid $13.50 for it at WIN, so now I'm down to $6.25 per wear. It's vintage, probably from the early- to mid-60s and probably never worn. I love that it's silk shantung.

Wrinkly butt!

The cardigan is a red one I've had for a while. It has no labels, and I don't like the way it fits. I need a new red cardigan! No idea when I last wore it, but it's not very often.

Outerwear shot:

Still a little too chilly but it's definitely gotten warmer the last couple of days. Spring is in the air!

I love that red coat so much. We're almost in leather weather!

The stuff:

I'm so in love with these red shoes. Love. Last wore them here in January when I was sick.

Copper bling:

I really liked how the copper went with the pink and red. These are a mix of 60s and 70s, and the pieces are from all different sets (except the cuff and the earrings, given to me as a set), including a rogue single earring (bottom right), which I clipped to my cardigan just above the vaguely heart-shaped brooch.
