I've never been a fan of Valentine's Day. I simply do not acknowledge it. If you want to know my reasoning, you can simply click here and read my article on it. Anyway, this got me to thinking just because I dismiss it, others still love it. With absolute reluctance, here's a look I thought of for the 14th of February. Any excuse to put together an outfit, I guess. With much love, enjoy ladies.

"There's something about your body
I'm not in a rush, but girl I'm ready to marry you
Yeah, right here in the restaurant
And start in our honeymoon
While you still got your dress on
While you still got your dress on...yeah"
Today's post is titled after the song Dress On - a bonus track on Justin Timberlake's new deluxe edition album, The 20/20 Experience. I must state, it's definitely a "3S Effect" (haven't used that term in a while) type of music album. The Timberlake & Timbaland combination is simply killer. The music is just super smooth and mature. And yes, I listen to it every time I get dressed to head out.I'm not in a rush, but girl I'm ready to marry you
Yeah, right here in the restaurant
And start in our honeymoon
While you still got your dress on
While you still got your dress on...yeah"
The lyrics made me think of how much I love putting looks together for evening events. As much as I love putting together looks for everyday life for men and women, the special occasions is what I look forward to the most. That extra effort in class and sophistication is definitely worth the while. It's sort of a natural high, an aphrodisiac for the fashion savvy - for a moda oficionado like me. The style of clothing also reminded me of one of my 3 muses, Hayley. As I have mentioned in past posts, she is who I picture in gowns and on red carpets; to me she is elegance.
The lyrics got me to think about two different looks. First, there is the signature evening dress at a formal evening event. The second is slightly toned down for a quick getaway dinner for two and to whatever follows...Wink, wink.

I'm a huge fan of this look. It's lovely to see it's one of the trends of this season. I find it very sexy when a woman, even with killer legs, can rock knee-high socks. I believe the allure behind it is the slight reveal between the hemline of the skirt/shorts and the socks.

This was something a friend and I were discussing the other day. The big trend of 'wedge sneakers'. It actually began early summer, but will go into full effect this season. You will see plenty of this on the street. The reason I chose to create an outfit around this style of footwear is because growing up I was a huge fan of sneakers. Growing up playing basketball (along with others sports), sneakers or basketball shoes were all we young men drooled over. Well, that and all the pretty ladies.
Earlier this year, we have seen a huge shift in the sneakers world. High-end labels have incorporated their designs with street footwear, the urban chic. We've also seen plenty of collaborations of already well known and established casual/athletic footwear brands. This makes for one hell of an attractive style. I've always found it very sexy for a woman who is known to be so feminine yet can pull off an athletic look.
