How to: Dress for Valentine's Day

Well folks, it's that time of the year again.  That time where we get to laugh at people who think it's cute to dress like a walking Valentine's Day card.  So as my favour to society, I would like to propose a little guide on how you can avoid looking tacky around the day:

1.)  Stick to one colour.  Please, stop wearing pink shirts with red cardigans and white pants.

2.)  Add a little pop.  Try colour in small doses...lipstick, a bag, etc.  Be like the cherry-filled chocolate: it's mainly another colour with just a gooey touch of red.

3.)  Give the hearts a break.  Similar to the colour policy, if you're gonna wear hearts, keep it down to one heart accessory.  Don't be a Christmas tree of hearts.

4.)  Go with a romantic theme.  To avoid being blatantly Valentine's-y, include romantic-style attire instead.  Y'know, lace, neutrals, sheers, and such.

Alright love birds, I hope you get the the fashion picture, now go prance along in your cheer as I celebrate next Friday with discounted candies. Actually, that'll probably make me prance along in cheerfulness too. Hourray for cheap sweets!
