A Subtle Valentine’s Day Look
Skirt (Similar here)| Top (Similar here & here) | Wedges | Camera Bag | Sunglasses | Cami | Lipstick
Goodness, Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! This is one of those holidays that I don’t go too crazy over. My general philosophy is if I’m wearing some red… I’m good to go! My wardrobe (unfortunately) doesn’t have any Valentine’s Day-themed clothing in it (yet).
So, I usually put on red lipstick and earrings and this shirt. BAM. Valentine’s Day ready! I’ve just been rotating what skirt I wear (or pants), haha. This skirt has been a favorite of mine for the past year. I’m convinced I can pair it with every single shirt in my closet. It goes with everything! (And it looks great with tights and boots, too.)
My camera bag doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with Valentine’s Day…but isn’t it fun?! And it matches this skirt perfectly! My mother-in-law surprised me with it for Christmas last year, and it’s been such a fun addition to my wardrobe.
I had worn this outfit for a dinner date with my husband last weekend here in Rosario, Argentina, but I’m not sure what we’ll do on good ole February 14th. We’ll likely order a pizza, have a glass of wine and watch some Netflix. (That’s been our perfect Valentine’s Day for quite a few years!) I have a feeling we’re both going to be dead tired, as we’ll be recovering from an overnight flight from Iquitos, Peru to Rosario, Argentina that day. We have a long weekend here in Argentina from February 10 – 13th (for Carnival), and we’re heading into the Amazon Rainforest to spend that weekend at the Treehouse Lodge to celebrate our 5 year wedding anniversary! I put the video of that place at the end of this post. I’m so excited!

Red, black, and white is such a classic combo for Valentine’s Day. And I love the added kitsch of the stripes and camera novelty bag. I also like the cutout shape on your flats – it almost looks like a heart! I think we’ll be laying low…probably hanging drywall or something SUPER romantic like that. lol

Aw, thank you! Haha! I was thinking the same thing about the shoes, but I thought I might have been going crazy. Haha. And your Valentine’s Day sounds about as romantic as ours! Haha. But I hope you’re loving your new home!
Aww I love the subtle Valentine’s Day look! You won’t be surprised at all to know that I go ALL OUT for Valentine’s Day (though, to be honest…I go all out for a Tuesday. 😉 ). Glad all is well in Argentina – and early congrats for your 5 year wedding anniversary! It’s crazy how quickly time flies…
Aw, thank you, Kara! Haha, and I had no doubts you rock your Valentine’s Day looks! It is crazy how time flies too!
Lovely look…
Aw, thank you!
Love, love, LOOOOOVE the camera bag! 😀 It is so cute! What a great outfit for Valentines! Both my boyfriend and I are so bad at remembering these kind of days, maybe I should do an effort this year? 😉 Thanks for reminding me!
Aw! Thank you! That camera bag was such a good Christmas gift. Haha, don’t feel bad…we aren’t much on doing any big celebrations for this holiday either. 😉 But it is fun to dress up for!
Such a fabulous skirt and cool combo with that red blouse, also that bag is awesome! You look gorgeous!
Have a nice day!:)

Aw, thank you! Hope you have a nice day too!
Love this look!
Thank you so much, Anissa!
Perfect outfit. I love the red against the stripes and the bag is super adorable. I don’t usually do anything to celebrate Valentines Day but like to dress up anyway just pink and red are my favourite colours and it’s a good excuse to wear them.

Thank you! Haha, I love wearing pink and red too (I just need more red)! Valentine’s Day is a great excuse to break them out. 🙂
This is really pretty! I love the red section of the dress, but it complements the stripes perfectly!

Aw, thank you, Lorna! It’s actually just a top and skirt that fit really well together. 🙂
