What to Wear for Valentine's Day

I haven't done much in the way of celebrating Valentine's day the past few years, however this year my mom, sister, and I are hosting a Galentine's Day, and when I reviewed my closet for potential outfits, this maxi dress stood out. It has only been worn once, Christmas Eve of 2018, and never properly photographed, so it seemed like a perfect choice.

Another small nod to the occasion with my double heart earrings, and topped off with this vintage inspired faux fur coat; I will be the most glamorous single girl drinking wine and eating chocolate at home with her girlfriends this February 14th.

If you have actual cause for celebration or an outing, I found a few similar maxi dresses and bold heart shaped earrings which I've linked below.

What are your Valentine's plans?

  1. Sooo pretty! And perfect for Galentine's!
    Christian and I aren't doing anything super fancy, but I think we'll go to the Chowder Pot for lunch on the 15th after our tax appointment (so exciting)

  2. that is such a beautiful maxi dress on you and you should really wear it more! I love the colour blocking :) Have a fun night with your friends! We don't really do valentine's day in Australia, it's just another day here for us! :)

    Hope that your week is off to a good start :)

  3. That dress is so stunning - and your Valentine's Day plans sounds really good to me. I don't really celebrate the day much but I would figure out some way to mark it if I had a dress as gorgeous as this.

  4. I have that dress in blue (shockingly, I had to shorten it), but I just love it. (https://www.instagram.com/p/B62v2iVly-E/). I just love it in the red and pink too!!

  5. What a gorgeous dress and it is perfect for Valentine's Day! Although mine will involve the heart-shaped pizza I just picked up at Aldi, so I will probably be a bit more casual ;)

  7. What an amazing Valentines date you have planned! I hope you girls have an amazing time. I can't believe this dress is Banana Republic. What an amazing find. Its gorgeous. Every girl needs a great red dress in her closet. This one is a showstopper. I am overly obsessed with your heart earrings.

    Thank you for the amazing post, thexglitterbox

  8. Valentine's Day, like most holidays, is really not my thing. It's just another day - although at least it falls on a Friday this year. I am more spontaneous, I am starting to realise, when it comes to deciding that I am in the mood to celebrate. Because you don't need a special day, or a partner, to enjoy dressing up, feeling fabulous and having cocktails. You can do it anytime, and when you do, you want to have a fabulous dress in your closet. This one is a stunner, and pairs beautifully with your fur coat. (You always make me want to add to my fur coat collection.)

  10. I love staying for Valentine's Day, but of course I love to dress up, so we usually go out a day or two after :-). Such a glam red dress for the occasion!
