Did the freezing temps have you cuddled up under mounds of blankets refusing to leave home this weekend…only to blow off dinner reservations or miss out on a stroll through the city? Well, although Valentine’s Day has come to an end, as New England warms up this weekend get ready to reheat the V-day vibes. For those of you who missed out on your V-Day plans because your iPhone reminded you that it “felt like -29” outside of your warm comforter, do not fret. From the classic pink and red hues to sleek dark tones, we’ve got 5 looks for an extravagant or low-key “postponed V-Day weekend”– because highs of 50 sound much more appealing. So whether you’re hitting the town, or Netflixing your night away, here’s to a V-Day celebration where your parka isn’t the center of attention!
1. Elegant Date-Night
Finally making those reservations for dinner & drinks at a premiere location that you’ve been dying to try? Nothing complements a fancy evening of dinner & drinks better than a fab dress! Go bold with a timeless red hue, or sleek with the classic “LBD.” Add pops of gold or silver for a bit of sparkle. Top of the Hub, here you come.
2. Comfy & Casual Night Out
Do your plans include hitting up the local pub to grab some drinks & apps? Complement the relaxed spirit of the night with an outfit that is girly, simple, and comfy all in one. A skater skirt, light knit, tights, and thigh-high boots are the perfect fit.
Spice up the look by substituting the knit with a structured blazer over a cut-out bustier top. Polish it off with a pair of neutral pumps for a bit of flare.
3. Sunday Brunch
Brunch is always a good idea. Grab your chunky knit, loose tank, jeans, and booties and head over to your favorite spot for some mimosas and short stacks. Keep the colors “V-day-esc” and add a pop of silver or gold with a cute necklace to bring it all together.
4. Flirty Transitional Layers
For those of you taking advantage of the full 24 hours that this 50-degree February weekend has to offer, layering is key! Whether you’re heading spending the day shopping on Newbury, heading to lunch in the North End before a movie, or exploring the Gardens before a night of ice skating, your outfit should be as versatile as your day. So throw on that infinity scarf & trench over a feminine dress, and pair the ensemble with warm thigh highs and riding boots. You’re ready for wherever the day takes you – inside or out.
5. Netflix Meets Ben & Jerry’s
The only man you need in your life goes by the name of Nicholas Sparks. Girl, you’re not alone. Grab your comfiest PJ’s, a pint of Half Baked, and binge your night away in style. February 14th round 2?
