So this is my first post as a new member of the community. It's yesterday's crazy Valentine's day outfit. I'm not really a fan of Valentine's day as a holiday because of the commercialization of it (I believe we should do thoughtful things for the one's we love all year long instead of make it a holiday that makes single folks feel bad about themselves or makes one feel obligated to do something nice).

That said, I do love an excuse to pull together some of the crazier pieces in my wardrobe that might not be daily wear workhorses. I thought this outfit was sassy-cute without going too far into the realm of cutesy for someone my age.

I wore it into the office for a meeting with my company's CEO. To say we have a casual work environment would be an understatement of mass proportions. Just about anything I wear to the office would probably be considered "overdressed" by company standards (I work with mostly twenty-something gamers who keep saying I'm the most fashion forward and best dressed employee in the org. Which cracks me up because most days I'm wearing jeans and a motorcycle jacket and I'm still considered "dressed up").

Anyhow, I was only in the office for the hour meeting then grabbed lunch with my boyfriend.

I originally thought I'd go with slim black jeans with it but decided I preferred the more casual, slouchy juxtaposition of the beat up Levi's boyfriend jeans with the more polished remainder of the outfit.

Might have been too much --this isn't my typical style, and normally the jacket and scarf are definitely two pieces I wouldn't put together, but I have to admit wearing the bold heart print Moschino jacket combined with the bright blue and red McQueen Lips scarf did sort of put an extra spring in my step and make me want to smile more than usual.

What do you guys think? Too cutesy for a woman "of a certain age"? It made me feel good and that's my biggest criteria for whatever I wear.
