Love is in the air. It’s that time of year when red and pink are the only colors you see, sweethearts have replaced the gum at the CVS counters and Edible Arrangements are constantly making deliveries.
You might have a valentine, heck, maybe even two! You’ve made plans, but as any collegiette, one question remains —what are you going to wear? Check out these fabulous ideas for any romantic date, whether it’s bowling and a stop at the ice cream shop or a romantic dinner at a fancy restaurant followed by a movie.
Bowling + Ice Cream
The key for dressing for a bowling match is being cute enough to distract your valentine from making strikes, but dressing comfortable enough to make some impressive strikes of your own. Match a pair of skinny jeans with a cozy cardigan and a lace tank for a comfortable yet chic outfit. Add a bit of romantic flair with pearl or diamond accessories. And finish it off with classic flats.

Dinner + Movie
Valentine’s Day dinners only come once a year, providing a great excuse to really get all dolled up. So don’t hesitate to wear the pink lace dress you haven’t removed the tags off of. Add an edgy pair of shoes, such as open-toed pumps or booties. Complete the look with bold accessories, such as a ring or bracelet that dazzles and a clutch.
