When I think of Valentines Day, I think of phrases like “Loves is in the air”, songs like “The Way You Look Tonight”, and romantic, candle lit dinners with a nice view. Televison commercials are filled with red and pink hues, abundances of chocolates, and numerous heart-shaped objects. This holiday celebrates love: whether it is the union of two people, or the celebration of friends, love is the objective. Despite how you will be spending your Valentines Day, make sure you snap a picture or two so that you could look back on this special day with your loved one(s). While what you wear will not have an effect on the quality of the night, here are some Valentines Day outfit ideas that are sure to impress!
1. Chic on Fleek
If I had $200 to spare, this jumpsuit would currently be on its way to my apartment via FedEx; however, the sad truth is, I’m ballin on a budget. I have a total obsession with white articles of clothing, seeing that more than half of my closet is white, and this would be the ideal outfit for a fancy dinner at George’s. While this outfit is may look simple, the cutouts on the shoulders and the deep, plunging neckline makes for a chic, sophisticated outfit. Pair this outfit with some great statement heels and a light blazer, and you are ready to go!
2. Dine in for a Night In
If you have a significant other, you may be planning to cook dinner together, or one for the other. Light up some scented candles, turn on your favorite love songs, and throw on this beast of a dress. This For Love and Lemons Luau Mini Dress, mixed with the sensual vibes is sure to be the only think your partner is looking at. The soft mesh and strategically placed lace is going to have your partner wanting to skip dinner altogether and move on to the long awaited dessert!
3. If You Wanna Be My Lover, You Gotta Get With My Pants
Palazzo pants are the epitome of boho-chic outfits. If you aren’t about tight pants (unlike Jimmy Fallon), try these wide-leg, comfortable pants that are perfect for a walk on the beach or for a fun movie night. Forever 21 has a great selection of affordable, and beautiful palazzo pants; this particular pair contains deep hues of red, which subtly celebrate Valentines Day. The tribal and paisley print pattern combination provides enough texture for your entire outfit. Pair the bottoms with a plain, simple, and flowy peasant top and a structured hat for a bohemian look that is sure to impress!
4. Two Can Play at This Game
I love the contrasting horizontal and vertical lines on this two piece outfit. The unique combination of colors, ranging from periwinkle to forest green, make this outfit one-of-a-kind. The red shades in the stripes, added with the matching top and bottom, make this outfit optimal for a fun, active night. Go bowling or rollerblading with your friends or partner in this comfortable outfit while being stylish.
5. Pleats Allow You to Eat
Ladies, if you are thinking of eating a salad on Valentines Day, you are cheating your body! Allow yourself to eat a delicious, flavorful meal; make sure you have room for desserts afterwards too. Pleated skirts are a great option because they allow you to eat as much as possible, while looking feminine and dressed up. Tie this pleated skirt with a pastel colored top for a lovely outfit.
6. Bedroom Secrets
What happens in the bedroom, stays in the bedroom. However, we don’t mind spilling a few secrets about how to get the mood going for the bedroom. Throw on a set of delicate intimates instead of a regular bra and undie set underneath a cute top and bottom. Your partner will be in for a special surprise! Some girls like less lacey, and more racey lingerie, while others like to feel pretty in lace; I personally love the one piece lingerie look. Choose your lingerie style depending on how you want your Valentines Day to play out.
Whatever you wear, I know you’ll look great and have a great night! Happy Valentines Day!
