Casual Valentine's Day Outfit
When I think of Valentine's Day I really don't think of skimpy red dresses. I think of February, snow and cold. Valentine's Day in Canada isn't really conducive to skimpy outfits if you need to spend alot of time outside.
But at the same time I am that dorky girl who wears green on St. Patrick's Day, Red and Green or festive plaids at Christmas and of course Red and Pink for Valentine's Day.
So I wanted to create an outfit that would work for the school run and put my heart on my sleeve so to speak. Or rather heart on my boot cuffs I found on Etsy.
Even though when I was a kid we were told that red and pink clash (and therefore not to be worn together), it is a combination that I love around Valentine's Day.
Topped off with some white accents (my cabled hat and pearl bracelet) and the parka that has been keeping me toasty all winter I think this is a realistic daytime Valentine's Day outfit.
Outfit details: Parka Bagatelle via Marshalls, Sweater JCREW (old this is similar), shirt Joe Fresh, pink cords Loft, boot cuffs Etsy, boots Sorel, hat Club Monaco (on sale!).
What do are you wearing for Valentine's Day? Want to share it with the next #thewaywewear link up? I hope so, stay tuned for February 3rd when you can share your Valentine's Day outfits!

Love this!!!

Thanks Emma. I am just a cheesy holiday nut 😉
Very cute!! I dread Valentine's day - for different reasons these days - it seems the kids even have to take candy to school for all their friends! My OH and I have NEVER exchanged cards or gifts - we like to think it is Valentine's Day every day in our house so Feb 14th is redundant:)
To be honest my husband and I don't really celebrate Valentines either. Our first date was actually February 13th as an FU to Valentines. I find it very much a card selling holiday (much like mothers day etc). But my willingness to be a total cheeseball and dress for the occasion overwhelms my other objections!
As much as I am NOT a fan of Valentine's day, I really love your outfit. It's the small details that make this look so much fun 🙂
