I'm a fan of the idea of Valentine's Day (coming up later this week), but you likely will not see me running around spreading glittered hearted chocolate bon-bonned lovey cheer. I'm more of a home-cooked dinner kind of gal, more so than a dozen roses, champagne and a hard-to-get restaurant reservation (gifts, though, are always appreciated bwahahaha).

The only real holiday-esque thing I do for the occasion is spend a few bucks and mail some Hallmark-branded cheer to my nephew, mom and grandma. 

I don't necessarily dress for the occasion so I don't really have any great Valentine's styling for you all, but I pulled a few looks from "the archives" that give off a bit of that love day vibe without being too cutesy.

  1. Is it Valentines already? I can't really say it's my favorite holiday, but chocolate (even to me, from me) is always a plus. I rarely dress for the occasion, if I'm wearing red that day its probably a coincidence.

    1. Haha, I'm with you. I accept gifts on V-day, or any day for that matter.

  2. These are all wonderful. They definitely give the Valentine's Day feel without being over the top.
