My Funny Valentine's Outfit // It's Not Actually Funny...

Valentine's Day is Saturday, and if you couldn't tell I'm a little bit excited.

This week I am linking up a Valentine's Day look with the girls from the Creative Closet.

I wanted to chose something pretty, and in Valentine's hues, but nothing too formal or fancy.


I decided to pair this thrifted red blazer with a creamy lace tee for a girly but structured look. I chose dark wash skinnies, cuffed above the ankle, and tan ankle booties to round it off.

I think this is an outfit that I would be comfortable in on many different types of Valentine's dates. A girl's night, Chinese food & bowling, a movie and ice cream...


Tee: $20?, TJMaxx, Old - similar
Blazer: $6, Goodwill - similar
Skinnies: $16, TJMaxx, Old
Ankle Booties: $35, TJMaxx - similar
Earrings: Dillard's, $20?, OLD - similar 1 & 2
Clutch: VS Pink, $20, Old - similar

Total: $97
Recent Total: $41

 What are you hoping to do this Valentine's Day?

 Netflix and Ice Cream is 100% an acceptable answer... and sounds pretty darn good to me! :)

    This is fun and pretty and very romantic, but not too sweet and saccharine, you know? LOVE!

    I totally love this--the ruffled blazer mixed with the jeans and boots--such a perfect combo! The lace top adds some romance too, great touch. Great sassy photos too :)

    Thank you Shea! I love the shirt blazer combo. I thought the booties would dress it up a little, and the jeans keep it casual. You're really sweet, I was trying to be sassy for sure. By myself. In my apartment... haha :) XO
