If there is one thing that 2020 taught me it is to fully appreciate and celebrate small moments. In Kollin and I’s relationship, Valentine’s Day has always been a small holiday. While dating we never really got to celebrate while in college and being long distance so it wasn’t really an important holiday for us. We’d spend the evening on Skype or FaceTime and mail love letters, but that was about it.

Now that we’re married and do date nights regularly, it has the same lack of allure to us, but I will never turn down the opportunity to put on a pair of heels and get dressed up for the night! Y’all voted on Instagram that you wanted date night looks for V-day so here we are! Below I’ve linked dresses, blouses and loungewear for those of you who are staying in like us.

No matter your plans, wearing a fun color is great for Valentine’s Day! While I love pink there isn’t too much of it in my closet, but Valentine’s Day is the perfect night to go full-on Elle Woods with your outfit!

Outfit Inspiration

I love looking at inspiration to gather ideas for my outfits. While I may not get the exact item, I love mixing and matching pieces into the outfit that feels most like me. Below are some ideas of how you can create some capsule outfit ideas for your own spin on date night for v-day!

Casual, but Elevated

Pair together an oversized sweater in your color choice with tights, over the knee boots (or a height you prefer like booties), and a clutch. You’ll be comfortable all night, but still look sophisticated and polished. Add in a fun pair of earrings and a top=knot for an effortless and chic look.

Flirty Feminine

Adding in texture or pattern to your outfit is a fun and flirty touch. Go for a puff sleeve, organza or pattern like leopard for a unique, but festive element to your outfit. Pair with a sleek pair or black denim or leather pants/skirt and dainty jewelry. These pieces are great on their own too outside of date night and provide versatility in your closet. Rewear them with denim shorts in the summer or long pleated wide leg trousers for a sophisticated style.

At Home Cozy

2020 definitely made me appreciate a good pajama. When it comes to celebrating this year, things still look different so why not have some fun in the things we’re wearing at home? The good news is that you’ve probably already invested in some loungewear from 2020 so add a touch of fun for Valentine’s Day with a heart print or fun slipper to accompany the movie and popcorn evening.

Thank you so much for reading! Wishing each of you a love-filled, safe and healthy Valentine’s Day!
