The Colour of Love

Back in December I made it pretty clear how I felt about holiday themed lingerie. In general, though, I have a bit more leniency for lacy Valentine’s Day getups than those borderline tarty ensembles marketed for yuletide nookie. True, V-day is a completely fabricated holiday that has been marketed into the ground, but it’s also a fabricated holiday dedicated to love—an emotion and act that sometimes calls for racy lacy bits!

I’m the kind of gal that enjoys nice lingerie all year round, but for those ladies that are strictly holiday strippers (so to speak) I feel that themed finery is a bit of a waste, non? Wouldn’t it be nice to get a little more mileage out of your lingerie than just V-day? Red velvet is lovely and all, but hardly unexpected on this Hallmark holiday. Enter Jacob Lingerie with their delightful shades of purple and pin-up girl inspired polka dots sure to intrigue even the most traditional lover of undergarments.

We all know that women’s finery can get pretty costly, but Jacob’s Valentine’s Day collection ranges reasonably from $16 to $89. More importantly, they have a piece that is sure to flatter every body type out there and the designs strike the perfect balance between classy and drop-dead sexy. Sure these items will make your man uber happy on February 14th, but I plan on wearing mine all spring. What could be more fun then knowing that under my office wear I’ve got this slinky lilac bodysuit? Should my man friend know it’s there as well, well that’s just going to make quitting time all the more exciting!

How do you feel about Valentine’s lingerie in general? Are you a lingerie everyday or strictly for special occasions kind of gal? As refreshed as I am by this pretty purple collection? What’s your favourite piece? Have you seen them in stores yet? Do the items look as good in person as they do on film? Thinking of buying some for V-day or just for yourself? Discuss!

Looking for a special Valentine's look without breaking the bank? Check these out.
