I am aware that Valentine’s Day is a totally fake holiday made up by Hallmark to convince us to spend money on frilly underwear and chocolate BUT that doesn’t stop me from loving all things cute and heart-shaped during this time of year! While I am excited go on a fabulous date with my boyfriend the ever-pressing dilemma of “I have nothing to wear!” came up while I was looking in my closet full of perfectly good clothes. Valentine’s Day is a special day that deserves more than just a random dress I have hanging in the back of my closet, so here are my thoughts/what I will be wearing next week!
Formal Date
You are one of the lucky girls who may actually have a real live man taking you out next Thursday and this occasion calls for something more than your favorite jeans and cardigan. I mean come on it is Valentine’s Day. Show your V-Day date some love and go for that cute dress so he won’t be able to take his eyes off you the whole date! Here is what I would wear:
Stockings: http://www.victoriassecret.com/panties/hosiery/lace-top-thigh-high?ProductID=4043&CatalogueType=OLS
Heels: any black ones you have around would be great- I got a pair of adorable Vince Camuto heels with brass studs at Ross that were a steal!!!
If a dress isn’t your style try this:
Top:http://www.shopangl.com/category/new_arrivals/lace_peplum_top.asp?page=1&SortType=0
Skirt: any pencil/bandage skirt would be cute.
Heels: same as above or red ones would be fabulous!
Casual Date
If you are planning on spending the night out with your friends or have a not-so-serious guy then this would be right up your ally. Going all out for Valentine’s Day isn’t everyone’s style but being a little celebratory can go a long way! Here is what I would wear:
Top: plain white or black t-shirt
Blazer: http://www.hm.com/us/product/98799?article=98799-G
Bottoms: jeans would be super cute and relaxed
Heels: nude ones for sure!
Don’t forget to throw on some jewelry like this: http://www.loveculture.com/Item/ItemDetailView.aspx?StyleId=1000000563
(A long gold necklace would also do great things to this look)
Staying In
Not all of us have wonderful evenings planned to celebrate V-Day but that doesn’t mean you can’t look cute at home or heading to class! This doesn’t require too much effort and I pinky promise if you wearing ANYTHING with hearts, red, or pink it will make you day instantly a million times better. Trust me. Here is what I would wear:
(Make sure to sit next to the hot guy in class)
