Valentine’s Day Outfits: Casual vs. Dressy | Style Sundays

January 21, 2018 Holidays, Style Sundays

valentines day outfitHappy Style Sunday you guys!!! I hope everyone had a great weekend! As you all know, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! I just shared a Valentine’s Day SPLURGE gift guide for HER on my blog last Friday, so be sure to check that out and pass it along to your loved one for that gift inspiration!

I don’t know about you guys, but I have done a casual, yet cute night out for Valentine’s Day as well as a dressy night out, so I figured I would share both types of outfits for you guys! As with most of my outfits, you can find most of the pieces from Target! I really did try to find some other cute stuff, I promise, but nothing that I ended up wanting to share or that I felt was affordable, yet cute for Valentine’s Day! You know I am all about being frugal while shopping!

First up is the casual, yet cute outfit! These bell sleeves are so in, but not only does this shirt have the bell sleeves, it is a peplum top with a choker type v-neck look. I love the bright red and it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day! I paired it with this red lip from Dose of Colors. I thought a red lip would be too much, but I think it looks great! I will have this makeup look up on my YouTube channel soon!



I love jeans with this outfit to dress it down just a bit, but keep it cute still! The pointed toe heels are also perfect for this look! The heel is not too high and still very comfortable! I love a good pointed toe heel with jeans! This bag is perfect for a casual or dressy outfit, so I knew this was the perfect piece for this outfit!

For the more dressy outfit, I LOVEE this red dress! It has a mesh overlay with lace detailing and almost bubble-type sleeves. It’s very classy, yet chic! I paired it with some black tights and these black booties. It’s winter in Wisconsin so the tights and booties help you stay a little warmer out in the cold!




You could also wear this dress with any other type of shoe and without the tights. This purse pairs super well with this outfit too, and it comes in a super cute blush color! It’s similar to the YSL Quilted Bag, but obviously so much cheaper!

    The dress is freaking beautiful. I like how you styled it with a pair of black shoes and tights.

    That blouse with the bell sleeves is absolutely stunning! I would definitely wear that for any occasion. I think it’s great that you did both a casual and dressier outfit. These are definitely perfect for valentines day since the red is so vibrant.
    Great photos and content 🙂

    You’ve put together two perfect outfits. I love how you have two options for either a casual evening, or a more formal dinner date. Either way, it’s covered!

    I absolutely love both looks. My favourite is the second one, perfect for that OOTD to OOTN look.
    All that is missing is a minimalist neckpiece and you are good to go.
    Amazing post and style.

    I could see myself wearing the top to work and the dress when I celebrate with my boyfriend. I really like both looks and that way I don’t have to pick one. 🙂
