I’m teaming up with seven other bloggers today to showcase how to style Pantone’s new color of the year: Viva Magenta!

It’s been a while since I shared a good ol’ fashioned outfit post, and this polka dot look might be one of my favorites. There’s just something so chic about red, black, and white together, and I thought the subtle pop of yellow was a fun twist to the classic combo. Wouldn’t this outfit be so cute for a dinner date?! It’s the perfect mix of dressy and casual. Continue reading “A Trendy Date Night Outfit”
