Valentine's Day often gets a bad rap.. it's only a holiday to make people spend money, it's stupid if you're single, blah, blah, blah. I love Valentine's Day. I think it's a happy holiday that signifies the end of Winter, it's a time to show your love for yourself, your family, friends or significant others! Even if you want to cozy up and spend the night reading a great book alone or dance the night away with your girlfriends, I have the outfits for you!
--DATING YOURSELF--
A lot of girls who are recently single are taking this time in their lives to 'date themselves'. Being in my early twenties you either feel like you're in a serious relationship, about to get married (or are married!) or you still date around casually. Sometimes you need a break to learn more about yourself and that is 100% ok & recommended!
Valentine's Idea: Find a good book, cook yourself a delicious meal, order in and don't forget some great dessert! Work on a project you've been meaning to complete or journal. Take a hot bath, book a massage, get a mani/pedi. It's all about spoiling yourself and you deserve it!!
Outfit: Treat yourself to something new.. adorable pajamas, a fluffy robe, new slippers. This Valentine's Day is all about you!
--GALENTINE'S DAY--
If you are single or maybe in a long distance relationship and don't want to spend the night alone, call some of your best girlfriends.
Valentine's Idea: Find a new recipe, grab some wine and cook dinner for yourselves! Rent a movie or dance to some fun tunes. Head out on the town.. nice dinner, followed by drinks and dancing, dessert or a movie. Host a bubbly brunch complete with cinnamon rolls and mimosa bar!
Outfit Ideas: Fun lipstick, a black jumpsuit, feathers, sequins or whatever you think might be a little too 'out there' for a date night. If you're staying in try finding funny pajamas or your favorite tee. If you're attending a brunch I love a great midi skirt.
--DATE NIGHT OUT--
If you're in a relationship, especially a new one, you want to hit the town with your love! It's fun getting dressed up.
Valentine's Idea: Dinner and a movie is always a classic. One year we went to a couple's painting class and it was a blast! I'm always a sucker for a picnic or hike somewhere pretty (especially if you have pups!) or maybe bowling with another couple! Double Date!!
Outfit Ideas: A little black dress is a classic but for a fun twist try a little red dress! A jumpsuit can be sexy and sleek. Nice jeans paired with a cute top and fun heels is a great take on a casual look.
--DATE NIGHT IN--
If you've been super busy or maybe just love the comfort of you own house, stay in this Valentine's and enjoy being lazy! This is what we're planning this year.
Valentine's Idea: Cook up a new meal together, order take out and watch a movie, build a fort and make s'mores just like the good ole days, set up a 'spa night' and pamper each other, have a movie marathon or make a craft together.
Valentine's Idea: Pajamas! If you're staying in you can rock some adorable PJs. If you want to get a little bit more dressed up grab a comfy dress or cute joggers!
What are your plans this year? I hope this helps make this the best Valentine's Day ever!
Xo,
Riley
