Valentine Date Night + Ageless Style Linkup
Welcome to the February edition of the Ageless Style Link up with this months timely theme of a Valentines Date look. A red and black combo would typically be my combo but I shared something so similar during our December linkup, I decided to choose a little softer look.
This cold shoulder top is by Karlie and one of my favorite boutique brands. The clothes are a little different but not so pricey that I feel it’s a total splurge. I’m loving pink right now and this little cold shoulder would be an adorable addition!
Initially I planned to wear spiky cage black heels with this outfit until I ran across these booties on sale at Sam Edelman while shopping in Vegas. I’ve had my eye on similar booties for several years and the mark down + and extra 20% off sold me! I loved how they added a little extra flare to this outfit.
I did break down and buy a pair of the Spanx faux leather leggings which also come in a great pewter color. I loved the more inexpensive pair I purchased in the fall as well but really was interested in the higher waist to keep things a little smoother.
This little black purse is deceiving and actually packs really nicely. I typically carry my iPad, a small compact bag and a wallet with room to spare. The strap is long enough to not be awkward putting on your shoulder but short enough it feels secure while wearing.
Sorry gals, this guy was a steal but he is all mine! We had so much fun on our little adult getaway to Vegas. I’ll be looking forward to our next date night!

Beautiful ensemble for a beauty of a lady!
Shelly, you're a babe! I love that color on you!
Eek….how youthful do I feel being referred to as a babe! Thanks so much Rhiannon!
Thanks sweet lady!
Thanks so much Andrea. I felt so great wearing this outfit and that's always a plus!
Thanks sweet Mary! Every so often I wear something that makes me feel like I've still go it…haha.
They are fabulous! I wore them multiple times and seriously…I think they make my bootie look like it's 25 again….maybe not the size but the height. haha
Thanks so much Stephanie! The first time I wore this I carried a leopard clutch and wore black shoes…I knew when I snagged these booties I HAD to wear with this outfit!
Julia I am so a lover of red but have totally been drawn lately to the lighter pink tones. This top was a fun find.
Doesn't it though? I've really been finding so many colors lately that I love with leopard but never thought of before….purple, teal to name a few.
I have to admit Beth…I really was digging this outfit!!
Thanks so much Becky!
Thank you Suzy! I really did have fun wearing this combo!
Like ever…I totally agree Lauren!
I knew you would momma!
Thank you Kellyann! So glad you linked your red dress today!
Girl…please! If my older self can pull these suckers off you most certainly can!! I get it though….I have probably ordered and returned a dozen times in the past two years…I was just so afraid but every time I have worn them I have received compliments!!
Unexpected combo but I do love how it turned out Emily!
Definitely back to reality today Tanya!! Random….Any chance at all you might be considering the Thrive Creative Conference later this month in The Woodlands?
Thank you Jaymie! I have been wanting a pair for two years…super excited I found these on sale.
Thank you Carrie!
Right?!! I'm so excited to finally have a pair.
The grind was thankfully slow today Andrea! Thinking the 4 day week will be good to me..haha
I shall be wearing golf clothes! We are going to spend a few days over at our Beachhouse, next week! And I'm super excited to get away with my hubby and do some golf and some walks on the beach!
What a beautiful color on you! The booties are the perfect touch. I love this whole gorgeous outfit. Hope you had a wonderful time in Vegas!
I am really loving that outfit! The colors look great together and the shoes really spiced it up. And you look gorgeous!
such a great look! Love the shoes!!
No, I don't think I'll make it. Are you going? It looks like a really cool opportunity. There is a small chance that I might be able to go on a business trip with Michael to LONDON leaving that weekend, so I'm hoping that will work out!!

Wow that top is awesome Shelly – you look absolutely adorable!
I am sure I will be in my lounge clothes for our actual vday….we are cooking dinner at home and it is suppose to be a rain storm!
Thank you so much Lana! I've worn this top a couple of times since I purchased but I'm loving how the leopard booties add a little extra punch!
Thank you Lowanda! It's always fun to capture pictures in great light when you are feeling pretty good about your outfit right? Hope you have a great week!
Thanks you! I'm so stoked about finding them on sale.
Thank you sweet Ada! I am crazy about shades of pink right now and hardly have any in my closet. Eyeing a new top from Loft and waiting for a sale. 🙂
Thanks Yvonne! Hope you have a super week.
I love that we each chose to wear somewhat similar looks this month. Your pink cold shoulder sweater looks so good with your faux leather pants and I like that you went with leopard booties! I also Love the fit of your new pants.
