What I wore on Valentine's Day

I was so happy that my husband and I got a little bit of free time for ourselves to go out and celebrate Valentine's Day.  We ended up going out on Friday instead of Saturday, which was probably better because we beat the crowds.

He took me out to Cheesecake Factory for dinner and then took me shopping at Express afterwards!  What girl doesn't want a mini shopping spree for Valentine's Day?!  He also bought me roses, chocolate and got me a beautiful necklace and earrings from Kay Jewelers. So basically I'm spoiled!  He must really like me or somethin!

I also curled my hair for once!  Well, I tried!  My hair doesn't really do much other than lay there, so no matter how much hairspray I put in it, it never holds the curl.

 

I bought this beautiful dress from a thrift shop for only $4!  Can you believe it?!  It was brand new and is from White House Black Market.  I actually also thrifted this red peacoat at the end of last winter.  I don't wear it too often because it isn't very thick.

Oh, and of course I had to include a picture of me looking like I'm freezing my butt off (because I REALLY was!)...haha!

Here are the beautiful roses and jewelry my hubby bought me, and on the right is Paige's Valentine to her daddy <3  It's now hanging on our living room wall.  I can't believe she's going to be two on Thursday!  Time needs to slow down!

Feeling festive in red

You may remember me mentioning last week that I am a huge dork and catch myself wearing a lot of red right before Valentine's Day.  It just gets me in the mood for it, I guess.  I wore this over the weekend on a quick dinner date with my husband.

Unfortunately my no-headache/migraine streak has ended.  Friday I woke up with a migraine and it didn't end up going away until Sunday morning.  Terrible!  The good news is that it wasn't as intense as they were before., I could still function.  And I guess I can't be too upset because it was the first real migraine I have had in over 3 weeks, so that's not bad.  

That's also probably why I look a little "squinty-eyed" in these pictures, I guess...

I love this new purse I got from The Mint Julep Boutique!  It's the perfect size and of course the red is perfect for Valentine's Day!

I also found a great deal on fleece-lined leggings at Wal Mart.  They had a six pack with  different colors for only $30!  I was a little iffy on whether or not to buy them because it's Wal Mart but most of the reviews were good so I went for it, and I'm really glad I did because they are so comfortable!
