[…] a couple days ago I shared a thrifted red lace dress and today I’m sharing this blush pink dress I thrifted the same night! This one is a bit more […]
This past week, my boyfriend and I started a weekly meeting to catch up on blogging things. It might seem silly to some, but we both have very busy schedules, so finding time to take photos on the weekends and discussing other ideas for the blog was really really helpful. Plus it is fun because each week we are going to try out a new place to eat, grab a drink have the meeting and then go thrifting!
After meeting at Pizza Luce, we headed to the nearby Goodwill and I found two dresses perfect for Valentine’s day! This red lace dress is a great choice for date night paired with black opaque tights and I opted for something a bit more wild and fun – leopard heels. A classic pair of black pumps or even a monochromatic look with red pumps would also be perfect. This is why I love shoes so much – they always seem to be the finishing touch that can really change the way an outfit or dress looks! I think we have decided to stay in, cook a nice meal and watch some movies, but I still love to get dressed up for Valentine’s Day, even if I’m staying in!

![[AD] The results are in, and they are RADIANT! My skin is glowing thanks to the Olay Regenerist Rentinol24 Night Moisturizer. I've been using this for the past few weeks in place of my regular nightly moisturizer and was so blown away by the immediate results. I have noticed so many differences in my skin, including my skin looking plumper, increased firmness, increased brightness, increased smoothness and reduced acne scarring. This night cream is going to be my go-to moisturizer for a LONG time. Not only do I get the great benefits of using a retinol, which by the way, I saw ZERO irritation with this product, I also get the great hydrating formula I've seen with other Olay moisturizers.

Hahahahahaha! Emma is also not a very good assistant, in fact, she gets upset when I’m working on my computer 😉

What a perfect dress, and even better thrifted. I love it when I see bloggers styling thrifted pieces as it is an inspiration for me. Many of my clothes are from clothing swaps or thrifted too so thank you for sharing this lovely dress today. Your date with your hubby sounded sweet, and your photos and outfit look amazing. Have a great Valentines day!

Yes, thrifting has been a huge part of my life for a long time, and it is so hard for me to spend a lot on any one item when I know I can find something similar while thrifting later on!
What a perfect Valentine’s Day look. I can’t believe you thrifted that dress! I love it paired with the leopard heels.
Love that you and you b/f talk about you blog. Your killing this dresses
Your red lace dress is gorgeous and perfect for V-Day. This is such a beautiful, girly, romantic look Rachel. And of course red+leopard are always meant to be (I paired them together, yesterday, also).
Rach, that’s super cute! Love it!
That dress!!! Adorable!! And the heels are perfect. You look lovely!
There’s something so beautifully classic about red and leopard print together! I just love this for Valentine’s Day!!

What a fun dress! You look gorgeous in red!
What a great find! That red is absolutely gorgeous on you and the way you styled it is perfect. I love the idea of meeting with the boyfriend to discuss ideas and kind of make a “date” out of it….I’m going to have to suggest this to my man 🙂

I love the red lace dress. Red is such a vibrant color and it makes a statement on its own, but I love that you added the leopard heels to it. This look is perfect!

I am amazed at how you found that dress, it fits you perfectly, the lace detail is gorgeous and how you style it is effortless! You know I LOVE leopard! This outfit is so chic. I love how you and your bf talked, I need to do that with mine – but we set a time to do photos, so we try to stay on schedule!

I think I’ve said this one hundred times, but you are always so extra stunning in red! This dress was an amazing thrift find and I love how you styled it in a way that’s still realistic for winter (with a coat ;)). Gorgeous!
And your meetings with your boyfriend sound so fun! Trey has finally started to get more interested in my blog and it’s been great to bounce ideas off of him.

Thanks darling! My boyfriend actually has told me that the last few shoots – he loves me in red, so I think I need to start wearing more of it lol 🙂 Also yes – it was VERY cold without a coat, but wanted to show off the fun sleeves! If I wear this on Saturday, there will definitely be a coat involved haha 😉
This is such a gorgeous dress…I love the red color!
can’t believe you thrifted that dress! it’s perfect for valentine’s day 🙂
This dress is gorgeous, and you have an angelic smile and hairstyle. You radiate with beauty here with this outfit.
