Style Idea 5

Instead of wearing red and green for Christmas, I go for the more subtle silvers or golds. For the fourth of July, I prefer baby blues instead of navy combined with red. This Valentine Day outfit follows the same rule: it makes use of the holiday's trademark hue (in this case, red) in different tones than the usually prescribed one. Instead of fire-engine red and bright pink, go for magenta, burgundy, and blush. The colors have the Valentine feel without looking like they were pulled out of a Hallmark card!
