LET THE VALENTINE’S DAY OUTFIT INSPIRATIONS BEGIN…

Another year, another valentine’s day and another excuse to pretend like its the only day to show some love. Ha!!

Are you a valentine’s day person? What I mean by that is, are you one of the people who take the opportunity to spruce up and hit the romantic lane?

Valentine’s day isn’t and shouldn’t be the only day we show love but, I find nothing wrong with making that day significant for you and your partner. I definitely think its a good excuse for the parents who barely get time off from their children to do something special for themselves. I’m by no means a love expert but, it is not always about money when it comes to celebrating love. Doing something simple as dressing up and taking a stroll in town. This will open up a whole new dialogue between spouses. Couples can also send the children to the grandparents and use the house as a picnic park. Play some games and share some lovely hand written notes about each other. The possibilities are endless!

Now lets talk about this effortless outfit that is comfortable and sexy at the same time. This can be recreated easily. If you’re not a heels person, you can replace it with a nice converse and still look good. The funky’ness of the embroidered denim jacket adds a little edge to the outfit. The fit is wonderful, -oversized but, not too big. By the look of the jacket, I think the colour will come off a bit when washed. Nonetheless, I love it and wore this to a party. The whole outfit is under fifty pounds.

Hope your week is going well. Have a good one!

Much Love!

    I agree with you sis. A lot of things are too commercialized these days. We should celebrate love everyday, not just one day out of 365. You look gorgeous in red. That dress is everything. If you wash the jacket with fabric softener, it should be fine. The hair is everything sis!

    Wow, not started thinking of Valentine’s day yet. But I don’t usually set aside one day to show love and appreciation for the significant other anyway. Every day can be valentine’s day! Anyway, I am loving the outfit – especially the jacket. I love your suggestion to wear it with converses. Very nice!

    I love this outfit! That red dress looks fantastic on you and pairing it with that black denim jacket was such a stylish choice. I also really like the red details on the jacket. The black pumps are the perfect way to finish off this outfit. You look great!

    When it comes to Valentine’s Day, I like to celebrate it but stress free. My partner and I, usually don’t have big expectations of this day, instead we like to celebrate it in some small way, if nothing else then by going for a stroll in the town or something like that. We sometimes plan a little trip, drive away from the city and that sort of thing.

    I remember how once I prepared a romantic dinner for us but some friends came over without announcement so that romantic dinner turned out a bit less romantic that I imagined:) but it was still alright. Celebrating love is always good, what is important is not to be obsessive about it. Just like with any holidays, it can turn bitter if we have unrealistic expectations.

      That sounds great to me. If I had a partner I would do the same too. I love stress-free things!
      Hahaha….I hate when friends show up unannounced but, yeah I do agree that it can be fun too.
      Realistic expectations and goals are always the best.

    That’s a stunning red dress and I love the embroidery on your jacket! 🙂 We don’t tend to do anything special for Valentines day – just as well as finding time for anything special with two little ones doesn’t always happen, haha!

    Hope that you are having a good week 🙂 It’s Australia day today, so a public holiday which is nice 🙂

    I love the funkiness of this outfit. A classic red silhouette sans jacket and then comes that edginess from the rose embroidered outerwear. I definitely prefer this look with heels but hey, why not go crazy with Dr Martens or some boyish style booties….

    V Day is pretty much another excuse for us to go eat some yummy food! As a teacher, Valentine’s Day means a whole bunch of very sugared up 6 and 7 year olds haha.
    I love the combo of this outfit though! It’s perfect!

    I only care about Valentines day when I’m dating and coincidentally I’m usually single on this day year after year(it’s starting to worry me). I think love should be celebrated everyday and not in just one day but I’m still single. I love the red dress and the fact that it is Midi dress thus very elegant and that jacket makes wanna give you my home address so that you can send that edgy piece my way!

    I love your Valentine’s Day look. And I wouldn’t really call myself a VDay person. I mean, I do like a good pink and red color combo, but I’m not one of those people who goes all out on Feb. 14. I just like the cutesy things that go on sale in the month of February (even if I never buy any of them, lol).
