My husband and I are planning to spend Valentine’s Day relaxing at home, eating a delicious dinner, and enjoying some wine. It’s my favorite way to spend the day!
Even though we’ll be staying in, I still want to wear something cute. Here’s what I have in mind:
This has been a snowy, dark winter, so I’m brightening things up with spring colors, which are perfect for Valentine’s Day by the way!
Sweater: Mossimo / Blouse: Mossimo / Jeans: Loft / Boots: Corso Como, old (similar)
My outfit was inspired by this mint green boyfriend cardigan. I love this soft, springy color!
It works perfectly with the lacey blouse.
I should have taken these pictures in the morning when there was less light in my apartment … oops! The blouse looks solid, but it’s actually chiffon with lace insets. Very pretty!
My favorite jeans and boots keep things casual, and of course, I had to add some fun jewelry.
Chain-Link Bracelet: Banana Republic, old (similar) / Pyramid Stud Bracelet: The Limited, old (similar) Cuff Bracelet: Inez / Hoops: old (similar) / Necklace: handmade (similar)
I was feeling matchy-matchy, so I manicured my nails with mint green polish and added a little heart nail art on one nail.
The heart was super easy. First, I polished my nails with Essie Mint Candy Apple. When the polish was mostly dry, I simply used a toothpick to carefully draw on the heart with Julep Sienna.
This is my first time attempting nail art, so if I can do it you can do it. Now I just need to make this manicure last until Friday!
What are your plans for Valentine’s Day? Do you dress up?

Thanks so much, Jen! I had so much fun with that little heart:)
I did dress up and wear red! Love the mani!
Thanks, Nicole! I’m so happy you stopped by:)
This is all so cute. I often decorate for Valentin’s by going through the house and collecting all the hearts I can find then make a display of them. The first time I did this, I was surprised by how many hearts I had!
I love that idea, Ellen! Thanks for stopping by:)
Your outfit is perfect for a casual date -in! I’m obsessed with mint right now, for myself and my newborn daughter…it’s just such a fresh, beautiful colour. Looks great on you! And I love the gold heart detail…I’ll have to borrow that idea 🙂 Thanks so much for popping by The Best of this Life today. Great to connect and I’ll be back around soon.
Thanks, Emily! I’m loving mint, too. I kept seeing it last year, but never picked anything up with the color, so it was fun to finally try it out:) Thanks for stopping by!
That is so cute! And I love the brick wall in the background. So much character! 🙂
Thank you so much, Kristina! The brick wall is one of my favorite things about our apartment:)
