It’s just 13 days now till St. Valentine’s Day (& night!), so it’s time to get seriously ready! Two posts today, and let’s start from the outside and the shopping (?) trip.

Baby, it’s pretty cold outside most places so what to wear over your beautiful dress? How about this gorgeous heavy wool with mink collar and big decorative buttons, from the 1950’s? Though I would NEVER buy a modern fur, I cherish my decades-old true vintage pieces and honor the spirits of the animals who gave them.

Nothing will keep you warmer, while looking like a Princess. It makes a hugely eye-catching statement, too – a real head-turner. Also has a silky, red lining that glides over your skin and clothing and leaves you feeling really good . . . . . . . . .

This would be a great piece to wear with the cocktail dress just shown. Rhinestones and baroque “pearls” in white, along with champagne-colored accent “pearls” on the chain. Sorry the focus is a little off.

That dress doesn’t need a thing with it, and certainly DON’T wear showy earrings with this necklace. But, as one statement piece, this lovely collar would really shine.

What a find! It looked like a lost cause, but I fixed it up in no time. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
