Thursday Trend: Valentine’s Day Dress

02/07/13 | Badgley Mischka, Christian Louboutin, holiday, Marc Jacobs, Rent the Runway, Sergio Rossi, Thursday Trend, Tiffany, Valentines Day, YSL

The countdown is in single digits, one week until Valentine’s Day. I love Valentine’s day because of red velvet, chocolate, and how people are generally nicer on February 14th.   You all know I am BIG fan of Rent the Runway and I think Valentines Day is the perfect occasion to rent a dress – you can look like a glamazon for a fraction of the price!  Go ahead, be that knock out lady in red without braking the bank, and whether it is a date night with that special someone or a Valentine’s Day gala I have you covered – these are my favorite dress from designers including Badgley Miscka, Zac Posen, Elie Tahari, David Meister, Nicole Miller:

One / Two / Three / Four
Five / Six / Seven / Eight
In my opinion you start Valentine’s Day with a red dress and from there you get to pick if you want to go gold, silver, or black: 
Glamours Gold:  Shoes / Necklace / Cuff/ Studs
Stunning Silver: Shoes / Necklace / Bracelet / Earrings 
Bold Black:  Shoes / Necklace / Watch / Earrings 

What are you going to wear on February 14th?
 How will you accessorize your outfit?

    The Elie Tarahi dress is just lovely and demure ๐Ÿ™‚ I think there are also [in person] stores that have the same concept as Rent the Runway, but this is the first time I’ve heard of the online version of it. It really is a great idea!

    Love the idea of wearing red or pink on Valentine’s day. Some might think it’s kind of of cheesy…but I am cheesy so I’m for it! My boyfriend and I won’t be doing anything fancy on Valentine’s day so no dress for me. But I do have a new pink scarf that I’ll probably throw on ๐Ÿ™‚ xo

    go for the glam

    You really can’t go wrong with a red dress on Valentine’s Day. I won’t be going anywhere dress-worthy on Valentine’s Day (besides uh, work haha), BUT if I was, I’d love to wear number eight!
