Questions and Panthers

Happy Valentine's Day!

I have some exciting news I've been waiting to share; this year I have a date for Valentine's. I could not be happier.

As some of you know, this is my first Valentine's Date Night outfit post ever. Therefore, I felt it could warrant the purchase of a totally unnecessary, overpriced, ridiculously adorable dress: the Anthropologie panther print dress "on sale" for $100.

But I love it, and I really love that I get to take it out with someone special. I wont even mind being freezing, because I will have a warm hand to hold. (Too mushy? Oh well, it's Valentine's, I can get away with it.)

    Happy Valentine's Day! How wonderful that you have someone special to spend it with this year - the first Valentine's Day with a new someone special is always the most exciting and absolutely justifies the purchase of an absurdly expensive (but absolutely gorgeous) dress. Enjoy every minute of it!

    Aw Lydia! I'm so happy for you!! And you looked stunning for your date. I've been seeing this dress a lot, and have visited it on Anthro's website a few times too. I love it SO much, but maybe it's best that the shipping fees to Europe are so outrageous, haha. xo

    I hope you had a wonderful, magical evening with romance in the air and a whole lot og handholding :) You looked amazing, that's for sure. Don't feel bad about the price of the dress; Carrie liked her money right where she could she it as well: hanging in her closet ;) I'm exited to see more outfit combos with the dress in the future! :)
