Thoughts:
-Is it too cliche to wear Red out on V-day? Yes! But I think that everyone should own a red dress no matter what time of year it is. I think the problem is that women save their red dress to wear only on this holiday and that's a shame because red is romantic, bold, sexy, and classic all year. That being said, be the cliche just don't go overboard.
-Beware: Red/pink can look like a costume. I think that women need to pay attention to just how much red/pink they wear. Unlike black, head to toe red is too much. I wouldn't think twice to wear all black; black dress, tights, and shoes (with a pop of color/sparkle in my bag, of course) It looks chic and classy but in my opinion, that does not apply to this color especially on this day. Break it up ladies try wearing red dress with nude color shoes or just a red pencil skirt with navy accents.
