Save or Splurge: Valentine's Day

By -

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and, depending on how you celebrate, you're going to need some pink and red, a little lace, or a lot of black and chocolate (not the color, the candy).

So do you splurge on that great red dress to wear over the new lacy lingerie so you will look at feel sexy for a big night on the town? Do you take a budget approach and dress up something inexpensive or that you already own to make for a sweet evening with your sweetie? Or do you spend your money on some chocolate and ice cream to eat while you assemble your anti-Valentine's all-black ensemble?

I'm in the last category. As much as I love dresses, Valentine's Day usually gives me the urge to eat sweets rather than buy a sweet new outfit. However, if I were to participate in V-day I would probably be in the middle category of saving on something more affordable to mix with something I already own.

So, is it Splurge, Save or Chocolate for you?

(P.S. I used this fun Candy Heart Generator to make the image.)

I don't like going out for Valentine's Day. The prices shoot up and it's crowded. With that in mind, I wear something I have. Besides, my birthday is less than a month away. Money should go there!

Rachel, that's hilarious.

I'm actually going to a "Single Ladies Only" party where I believe the attire is pajama based and there will be some sort of junk food potluck. Sounds like a good day to me.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
