Is it really a Valentine's Day outfit?!? Not really. I'd wear it ANY day of the week. These cropped red pants have been on repeat since last spring when I picked them up on a "sisters weekend" trip up to Edmonton, AB. I love the way I styled them with my polka dot top in the spring, see here, but I am also digging this winter outfit with a simple black turtleneck and some booties. I love how a black turtleneck comes off polished, strong and sophisticated. It also helps create very definitive lines and curves. It took me a while to find the right turtleneck last winter but once I did, I instantly knew it.
Anyway, we are very low key for Valentines day. No presents. No special plans. Not even cards honesty. We just never really got into it as a couple. Sure when we were in high school, we bought the cheap heart shaped boxes of chocolates and a card, but we don't even make an effort anymore. This is not to be confused with not caring or not putting each other first. We do. But I think we do these things throughout the year that V-Day just isn't really a big deal to us. We used to schedule a date nights every month or month an a half, but now that the girls are so much more independent we actually spend a lot more quality time just doing stuff like skiing together, going for walks, going shopping, walking around our city, etc. That all being said, my perfect date night is going for dinner or a walk in our city, and then winding up at home with a good bottle of wine and delicious chocolates from a specialty chocolate store such as Purdys. Also last year we were in Mexico and I loved getting all dressed up for to celebrate the holiday, see here. In fact that was my favorite Valentines Day outfit and date ever 💗.
