Valentine's Day Options


Happy Valentine's Day! Since I will be away on vacation this week, I thought I'd give you a few outfit ideas before I head off into the sunset! (You may recognize the top pic from last year's V-day post, and the bottom pic from last week's red + pink color combo!) Here are my recommendations + some cute options if you are still shopping.

Scenario #1: Date night in a warm climate. Go totally girlie and wear head-to-toe pink! Or sass it up with a red mini skirt and pink shirt. (Looks 1 & 6)

Scenario #2: Date night in a cold climate. A classic red dress is the ultimate Valentine's Day outfit. Wear it with some tights, boots and a black jacket for added warmth! (Look 2)

Scenario #3: Work. Add a touch of pink or red to some work-appropriate neutral dress pants. (Looks 3 & 9) Or try your hand a color blocking with a bold pencil skirt. (Looks 7 & 10)

Scenario #4: Classroom. Does your V-day involve hosting a classroom full of kiddos? Try comfy pants paired with a purple or pink cardigan and sensible shoes. (Looks 4, 8, 11)

Scenario #5: Not celebrating. You hate Valentine's Day and want to rebel. Show your wild side in leopard print and loud pants. (Look 5)

  4. You forgot the "dress all in black in celebration of anti-Valentine's Day" option. :)  I think I'll tone it down this year and stick to shades of grey.  Or maybe I'll wear green and pretend I forgot all about the holiday.

  21. I just have to say that when I first scrolled down to look at this blogpost, my *initial* reaction was, "Oh, this almost looks like............ a lovely Bouquet............ of red-purple-and-pink roses!!"   

    Although there are #11 Outfit "Roses"~~(i.e., not a dozen Outfit "Roses")~~I think  *Y.*O.*U.*'R.*E.*  personally............ "The 12th Rose," J. ............ to COMPLETE the Red-Purple-And-Pink Outfit Bouquet, (Above)!!

    For Valentine's Day Dinner out with my husband, I wore (because of *your influence*) a............ V-neck fuchsia silk blouse (color as in #3, Above)............ black-and-white, micro-houndstooth-check, straight-leg pants (color as in #9)............ and deep purple heels (color as in #7's ruched tee)............ all under my deep burgundy sueded-fabric coat, since it was very cold and raining outside.    My husband commented, "You really look nice!!"    (*Thank you* so much, J.!!)

  27. All of those outfits are right up my alley and great inspiration for me.  I see you love pencil skirt too, am addicted to them!  It's also so nice to see color back on the fashion scene.  I've been rocking it for years!  :-)
