Deb's Valentine's Day Edition - Part 2: Trendy

Alrighty guys, it's time for part 2 of my collaboration with Deb - if you missed the first segment, clicky HERE.  Today's post is dedicated to those of you who'd prefer NOT to wear a V-day dress.  Who says you can't look smokin' hot in pants?  Anywho, I centered my ensemble around a strapless peplum top and paired it with high-waisted pants for a trendy look.  FYI:  the top comes with the baller belt pictured below.

To be completely honest, I wouldn't call these pants per se - they look and feel like leggings. I mean, don't get me wrong, they're cute and all, but I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing them as pants.  Luckily my blazer covers my behind so I don't feel super exposed.  Just giving you guys a heads up.

Oh, and I wanted to talk to you guys about shoes.  I threw on a pair of round-toe heels, but in retrospect, I wish I had worn my black ankle boots. TIP:  Having one continuous black line creates the illusion of longer/slimmer legs.
