Claudia Carlson: Pink, Hearts, and Beads

I love just about every holiday, especially Valentine's Day! I don't get why everyone always says they hate it, you don't need a significant other to love V-DaY!!! Pink, hearts, candy, and pink!! What is not to love about it!? Valentine's Day is also my little brother John's birthday, another reason it's so special! <3

This year, Mardi Gras and Valentine's Day are all in the same weekend. Two holidays in one!! My parents will be spending their Valentine's Day at a Mardi Gras ball, I can't wait to see them all dressed up! I, on the other hand, have two Mardi Gras parades I will be attending- one downtown and one on the beach. Maybe I will be lucky enough to catch a dinner with Kyle on Saturday night. ;) We shall see!!

With all these events coming up, I have been thinking about what I want to wear! For Saturday, definitely something pink and sweet. For the parades, the one downtown is at night, so I was thinking leather pants, for the beach parade, maybe a long sleeved dress and booties.

Here is an outfit idea board to help me choose! What do y'all think!?

Mardi Gras Parade #1, downtown @ night- I already have everything for this outfit, so I just had to put it all together! My favorite item is the Alexander McQueen necklace. My dad bought it for me two Christmases ago, and I wear it with everything!

Valentine's Day Outfit- I ordered this playsuit on ASOS, for Valentine's Day. I really wanted to wear light pink, it's so pretty and feminine. I already have the shoes, and the lipstick (which btw, is one of my favorites). I just need to get some funky earrings, gold bangles, and a "C" necklace, and I'm ready for v-day!

Mardi Gras Parade #2 @ beach, afternoon- I love the look of a classic, black long-sleeved dress. Reusing the jewelry I wore on Friday night, and adding a cute bootie. I have everything except the black dress. I will have to pick one up when I'm back home!
