Valentine’s Day: Cozy Night In (3/3)

Let’s be real: a fancy dinner or an exciting first date on Valentine’s Day sounds great. But what if you’re more of a homebody? Perhaps a new mom or just a super thrifty gal? Then opt for a cozy night in with your main squeeze (e.g. your significant other… or Ben & Jerry).

Make plans to cook a yummy meal, watch a rom-com, or battle each other in board games. Romance shows up in many ways — you just need to look the part. Here’s how to rock a cozy night in on February 14. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Winter Wedding Outfit

19 Nov

Reader Question: I’m attending a wedding this month in Chicago. What the heck does one wear to a winter wedding?!

Style Me Thrifty: Winter weddings can be romantic, cozy, and well, freezing cold. Here are a few easy tips keep in mind when putting together a winter-friendly outfit for a wedding.

Pick a dress in a rich color like burgundy, eggplant, or peacock blue. These colors are great for cold months and look lovely with non-tanned skin.
Stay warm in your cocktail dress by adding tights. I especially love textured tights – they add personality!
When in doubt, a little black dress is a solid choice but spice it up with colorful heels or jewelry.
Pack layers — a pashmina for when you’re indoors and peacoat and gloves for the trip home.

Sidenote: I’ve started using Polyvore, an interactive site that let’s you assemble outfits and links directly to the retailers that sell the items. I’m still learning the ropes (which is why some of you got an email saying the outfit was posted, oops!) but I think it’ll be fun. Let me know what you think.
