Last Minute Valentine’s Day Outfit Ideas!

This is the first Valentine’s Day that I’ll actually be going on a date, and figuring out what to wear can seriously be so difficult, as is true with a lot of other occasions. I’m the type of person who constantly worries about being over or underdressed, so I put together a couple of different options for myself. Since I had them laying out, I decided to make a post about it to give you a little inspiration, too!

Comfy and casual

Shirt: Pacsun (similar one here)
Jeans: Bershka (similar ones here)
Booties: Nordstrom Rack (similar ones here)

This look is super casual, but still really cute and perfect for Valentine’s Day! This wine-colored bodysuit has been one of my favorites for the winter, because it’s so easy to dress up or down. I’ve always been wearing these jeans a lot because they’re so comfy! I got them in a little shop in Spain, but they’re super popular right now and could easily be found in most stores.

The pattern on the side of the sweater is also really cool and gives it a nice pop!

Girly and romantic

Jacket: Forever21 (similar one here)
Dress: Tobi (link here)
Shoes: Nordstrom (similar ones here)

This look is great for a romantic date! The sweetheart neckline is flattering on everyone, and the flowy bottom adds a feminine touch. This tweed jacket is also extremely warm and perfect for cooler winter nights, since it’s still getting pretty cold in Seattle!

Booties are usually my goto shoes when I don’t want to wear actual heels! These ones are comfortable and I can easily wear them for the whole night.

But can we talk about the back of this dress…

I was immediately drawn to this dress when I saw the back, because I knew it would show off my tattoo! This is great to surprise your date when you take off your jacket, and it’s always just great to have a little surprise to a seemingly simple look.

Bold and surprising

Jacket: Primark (similar one here)
Dress: Tobi (link here

This type of dress isn’t something I would usually buy, but the slits in the front (and back!) really drew me in. Ever since I got my back tattoo, any dress that can show it off is a winner in my book! I’m so excited to wear this dress out, and I’ll definitely be bringing it to Vegas when I go later this year with my friends!

Dressy Casual

Dress: Tobi (link here)

Interesting necklines definitely seem to be making a huge appearance lately, and I’m loving it! This dress has a combined chocker basically, and the large keyhole opening on the chest really makes the well-loved LBD a lot more interesting. Something like this would be great for a night out on the town, or a cute bar!

Alright, there are four different looks for last minute Valentine’s Day outfits! I hope this was helpful, and finding what you’re going to wear is a little bit easier! If you’re looking for some great dresses check out Tobi, they have some great options for both cold and warm weather!

What has been your favorite Valentine’s date?

Thank you so much for reading and have a wonderful day (and Valentine’s Day)! 🙂

Why It’s Great Being Single on Valentine’s Day

It’s that time of year again, where all the single ladies (see what I did there) lament and complain about how they don’t have a special someone in their lives. Well, I’m here to tell you that being single on Valentine’s Day is kind of the best thing ever!
1. You can spend the whole day with your girlfriends.
(This is from the show Parks and Recreation, a.k.a. one of my favorite shows)
When you’re in a relationship, sometimes it’s hard to make time for your closest girlfriends; so since you’re single on this day that can be very lonely for people not in relationships, spend the day with your friends! You can make each other feel better about not being in a relationship, and chances are, you’ll have a much more fun day with all of them than you ever would with some guy.
2. If you want to stay in and do nothing all day, go right ahead!
My Valentine’s day will most likely be spent doing exactly this, and I really have no shame about it. The beauty of not having to impress a date is, you can wear your baggiest clothes. All. Day. You don’t have anyone to dress up for (except of course for yourself!), so make the most of it on this day and just don’t try at all. And watch Netflix all day.
3. Treat Yourself.
(Please tell me some of you guys watch this show)
This is also known as “Treat. Yo. Self.” Go out and buy all of the things that a significant other would buy you: jewelry, a nice dinner, a manicure/pedicure, or anything else you might want! This day is all about love, so why not love yourself! It’s perfectly healthy to focus solely on yourself for one day, and being single on Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse!
4. You don’t have to spend hours getting ready for the night.
With all that time you’re saving by not having to get ready for a date, spend it doing something you love. Or, spend it on the couch watching those three extra episodes of Friends (or Parks and Rec because you all should watch it…I promise this post isn’t sponsored by this show)
5. Think of all the money you’re saving.
By being single, you don’t have to go out and get an elaborate gift for anyone, or spend money on a date! Just think of all the better uses that money could go towards, like chocolate, ice cream, movies, popcorn, new comfy pajamas….
Well there you have it, five great reasons why being single on Valentine’s Day is basically the best thing ever! But on a more serious note, don’t worry if you’re not in a relationship because you don’t need to depend on anyone else to have your own happiness! Don’t let a day that pretty much celebrates couples bring you down if you aren’t in a relationship, because there’s really nothing wrong with that! When it’s the right time for you to be in a relationship, and you find a great person to be in one with, it will happen! You guys are all perfect just the way you are (this just got real cheesy, real fast, I apologize.)
Do you have any plans for Valentine’s Day?

Thank you so much for reading, and have a great day! 🙂
