I have never been one to really "plan" a special outfit for Valentine's Day. I would always wear something cute, of course, but never anything purposely "themed." Even this year, I thought to myself, "I don't have anything festive to wear unless I go shopping." It didn't make sense for me to go spend money on an outfit just for Valentine's Day. Plus, I just don't get that into it. The hubby and I celebrate it, but we never do anything too over the top. However, our six month wedding anniversary falls on February 18, so we will celebrate both occasions by doing something special this weekend.
As I was browsing my closet recently, I realized that I could put together multiple cute and festive outfits with items I already had. So, I went shopping in my closet and decided to share my favorites. Since Valentine's Day falls on a Thursday this year, I put together two "work to night" options using the same blouse. Depending on how conservative your workplace is, you could always throw a black blazer over the blouse during the day and remove for night, as I plan to do. I also put together two fun weekend options using the same top. None of these outfits scream Valentine's Day, so they are definitely repeatable, which is important to me. Plus, I found an excuse to wear my coral denim pre-spring! So, go shopping in your closet - I'm sure you have multiple options too! I will admit - it is fun to get a little festive!
