valentine's day dressed up, valentine's day dressed down.

{dressed up // dress: asos}
{tights: target}
{dressed down // skirt: target}
{jacket: target}

soooooo, i thought it'd be fun to do a little sort of kind of v-day fashion thing.  dressed up for those of you fancy people heading out to a swanky bar with a fancy martini oooor dressed down for those of you cash, caj, cas (like, short for casual?) people doing a movie and popcorn or dinner at a pub.  equal opportunity, folks!

i'd have to say, the dressed down is more my speed.  we'll see what valentine's day holds though.  (right, steve?!  WE WILL SEE WHAT VALENTINE'S DAY HOLDS.)  one thing's for certain... last year's valentine's day will not be hard to top.

do you have some crazy plans?  or a special outfit?  or are you a v-day hater?  i know... it's a thing to hate v-day.  and, i mean, i get it.  but i still want a chocolate covered strawberry or two or ten.

  2. I am definitely more of a caj girl myself. It'll be a good v-day if the baby sleeps through dinner (or at least lets us put her down for a bit) so my husband and I can sit and have a meal together for once. We usually have to tag team dinner these days :)

  5. The only thing we've got planned is a dinner out at a tapas restaurant, but nothing to wear. I could use that purple dress KTHNX.

  6. I love the casual vibe! Perfectly put together..all the best for the 14th! Hope it's more of a success!

  7. Diggin the caj look, but also the swanky one. I don't really know what we're doing. We alternate years planning stuff and last year was my turn, with a scavenger hunt and homemade quesadillas in a fort in my dorm room. All I'm saying is that Ben better bring it this year.

  11. dressed down, definitely.

    as for v-day, i still like it. i am not about going out for dinner on the day of though, crowded restaurants, set menus, no thanks... but give me some home made chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of wine and i am set.

  13. Love the red tights with the purple dress, but the skirt is really pretty too.

    Hope you will have a nice valentine day regardless of the outfit :)

  14. I love the casual look. I always think I love going fancy but then when we get there I feel out of place. I'm definitely a pub girl - or even make dinner and open a nice bottle of wine at home girl.

  15. I love to dress up and go to a fancy restaurant. But most of all I love getting them chocolate-covered strawberries. Hubby gets them for me, every year:)

  17. Love the casual look....especially that red skirt. It looks long on you, so I'm sure it would be dragging on me...short girl problems! :) happy valentines!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I feel like people shorten casual to "cazh"... not that that makes any more sense!

  19. Loved your outfit choices!
    A dress and tights always made a good combo for me while in the States ;)

  20. I love how you look in those maxi skirts, makes me want to give them a try. I'm short so not sure if they'd look as nice on me though. What type of shoe do you pair with a maxi skirt?

  21. @krista, maxis are theee best! this time, cowboy boot but anything--flats, boots, sandals...

  23. Love the outfits, both are adorable! Anything can top our Valentine's Day from last year too because my hub was in Afghanistan and we didn't get to talk but this year it'll be great just to hang out, give each other our homemade gifts and snuggle up on the couch to a rented movie! Hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

  24. ah!!! I remember reading about your v-day last year.

    Simon had to stay late and do a cs and I was unreasonably pissed.

    hope its better for you guys!!!

    (and you know you look bomb! how could you not?)

    Not that we have a Target...duh.

  26. Dressed down is totally me too! Love that! Is that skirt recent?? I'm gonna hit up Target at lunch SINCE I"M FINALLY BACK TO WORK AND EASTON BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!! hooray hooray hooray! Hopefully that was our germ quota of the year!
