I got a bad case of the Valentine’s blues, and by that I mean the cobalt heart blues!  I like red and pink for Valentine’s Day as much as the next person (and maybe a little more) but when I came across a perfect-condition heart print top in blue, I fell in love!

Adorable cobalt heart print?!! Thank goodness I stopped at the Salvation Army Thrift Shop!! #cometomama

The best thing about this top is that it is totally versatile!  Sure I happened to wear it on Valentine’s weekend, but you can bet I’ll be wearing it all year long!  Here are just a few ways to style this beauty!

MATCHY-MATCHY

Cobalt pants $4, Marc Art of Walking Shoes $19, cobalt bracelet $2.10 and earrings from my collection.

MIX-NOT-MATCH

Another work look OR it looks like what other fashiony people call a "brunch" look.  Cobalt leather belt $3, Hispanitas shoes $17 and skirt gifted but thrifted.
Mixing classic patterns (polka dot-ish, florals) always works! This ensemble looks like what other fashiony people call a “brunch” look. Cobalt leather belt $3, Hispanitas shoes $17 and skirt gifted but thrifted.

CONTRASTY

I actually bought this vintage Christian Dior suit at the same time as the cobalt heart print top and it didn't dawn on me till I got home that they go great together!  The Lauren Conrad top was more expensive than the suit - $9 and $8 respectively!!!!

The Lauren Conrad top was more expensive than the suit – $9 and $8 respectively!!!!  With my $5.50 vintage cobalt leather shoes, ‘natch, and my sapphire pendant.
This suit is so beautiful!  There's one teensy little problem...

The teensy little vintage waist!  I can't actually do it up and will never be able to unless I remove a rib.  But you can see why I had to have it anyway!
