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

January 21, 2018 Fashion, Holidays, Lifestyle, OOTD, 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!



Peplum Bell Sleeve Top | Skinny Jeans | Pointed Toe Heels | Gold Earrings | Black Purse


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!

I love working from home, but a change of scenery can sometimes get the creative juices flowing! 

If you work from home, do you prefer to change it up sometimes or would you rather stay in one place?!

Out driving today & this wall spoke to me! No wonder what life throws at us, even if it’s as horrible as can be, we can overcome it. It’s also a reminder that when things are good, it may not always be that way & to enjoy every moment of it while it lasts! ❤️❤️ “This too shall pass”

5 Ways I Keep My Curls Lasting for Days! {read on} 5 Ways I Keep My Curls Lasting for Days! {read on} ⤵️⤵️

❇️SAVE this post for when you’re wanting to save some time getting ready!

I go 5-7 days between hair washes (see previous post with same outfit for tips on how I do that) & I usually do a full head curl on day 1 or 2 and then touch up as I go. I often get asked how I keep the curls up throughout the week or if I have to recurl them everyday. I’m sharing my 5 tips below on how to take care of your hair to ensure all you need are touch ups until hair wash day. 

1️⃣ Wear a loose pony to bed - do a side braid if your hair is long, or do a semi-messy bun without being too messy. Some people prefer bonnets too- I haven’t personally used one but I’ve heard they help! 

2️⃣Silk pillowcases are a game changer - especially to keep your hair from kinking overnight causing you to need to redo your entire head the next day.

3️⃣The hair products you use make a difference—I avoid using too much product that can weigh down the curls, but texture spray seems to help keep my curls in tact longer. Don’t forget your heat protectant too! 

4️⃣The hot tools you use ALSO make a huge difference! I prefer my @t3micro wand and my @hottoolspro straightener. They hold my curls the best out of any hot tools I’ve used! 

5️⃣Use a bristle brush before bed - this will help smooth out any knots and will make it easier in the morning to restyle quickly.

Follow these tips & all you will need is a quick touch up of your curls! If you found this helpful, share this post with someone who might also find it helpful!
