The Ready Pretty Blog

     Ahhh, the Month of Love. Whether you’re in a relationship or living the single life, February is always a good excuse to show those around you just how much you appreciate them. Lucky for you, we at Ready Pretty have hand-selected our favorite red, pink, and everything in-between pieces to bring some color into your wardrobe. So whether you’re out for brunch with your Galentines or in making cards with your kids, why not bring a pop of pink into your outfit?

OUR PICKS:

1. COLORBLOCK SWEATER & SKIRT

I mean, how can you resist? This season we're all for monochromatic, contemporary vibes, and this two-piece set from Winnie Cooper just speak directly to us. If you're not feeling the two-toned look, just swap out the top or bottom with another item in your closet!

2. TEXTURED TOP

Talk about dimension, this ruffled sweater from Sweetest Stitch was an automatic "add to cart" item. Pair it with your favorite denim jeans, mini skirt, white trousers, or leather pants for the ultimate feminine look.

3. FLORAL TIE WAIST DRESS

For the gals who live by a "black, white, and nudes" motto - this one is for you. With just a hint of pink, this lightweight dress is a perfect step out of your comfort zone into patterns and unique silhouettes.

 4. HEART HOOPS, GOLD

Although this item isn't necessarily pink or red, we knew it'd make a great addition to the list. For this month of February, swap out your classic gold hoops for something a bit more festive. Instead of "wearing your heart on your sleeve", why not wear them on your ears?

 5. ONE SHOULDER RUFFLE DRESS

As we transition into *fingers crossed* warmer weather, this asymmetrical red number is going to be the highlight of the party. Basic, mini dresses? We don't know her.

6. MOCK NECK SWEATER, BERRY

You can never have too many turtlenecks, right? Right. We're obsessing over this super soft, deep berry-colored sweater. Sometimes, you need a few classic pieces in your closet for mixing and matching - this is one of those versatile items.

7. JAXKELLY - BURGUNDY PRONG DRUZY

Sparkly, simple, and elegant, these JaxKelly studs are an everyday staple in your jewelry box. Druzy stones are multifaceted and known for their ability to draw out negative energy & replace it with positive vibrations. Each stone is unique and will vary in color and size, they are sisters not twins. How cool is that?

8. FRONT TIE KNIT DRESS

Have you ever wanted to wear something cute, yet comfy? Fashion-forward, yet casual? Us too... 24/7. Step into work in this super soft and stretchy knit dress to knock out some emails, slip on some cute booties to run errands, or grab a denim jacket for your dinner date in the evening.

9. MABEL SWEATER - ON SALE!

The Mabel sweater features a big leopard inspired print, balloon sleeves, and slightly crop length. This is a pullover you'll reach for again and again - but hurry, this sale item is going quickly!

10. FLORAL PLUNGING ROMPER

It's never too early to start searching for your wedding guest outfits this springtime, and take it from us, rompers are going to be your best friend on the dance floor. This boho-chic, cream, floral print romper is the perfect mix between sweet and sexy. Pair it with some nude heels and you're good to go!

As a girl always on the move, often times I do not have time to run to my apartment for an outfit change between class and work. By incorporating basics into my wardrobe, I have found that layering and accessorizing are the perfect way to dress up (or down) a simple piece.

We have all been fed the same line for ages; "No white after Labor Day!". I thought this was a Southern rule, but no - Midwesterners swear by it as well! Here in Chicago, we seemingly only have two seasons, summer and winter, and both call for white attire. So, this year, with the help of High-End and High-Street, we’re showing you how these rules just don’t apply! This year’s New York Fashion Week runway sported super cute pieces clad in white and ivory for Autumn 2020. 

We're in the no man's land of seasons right now. Chilly one day. Heatwave the next. Rainy in between. Each morning we check our weather apps bracing for what we'll see. And let's not forget the 'starts off freezing ends up sweating situation' that we'll certainly encounter over the next few weeks.
