What to Wear for Valentine’s Day… kind of!

January 16, 2023 By Anna Groves No Comments

In this post, I’m partnering with Nordstrom to share some ideas for what to wear for Valentine’s Day, or any date night any day of the year!

In the beginning, Rob and I celebrated Valentine’s Day just like everyone else. But about halfway through our 24 years together, we looked at each other and said, “Do we really even care about Valentine’s Day that much?” We’d been jumping through hoops to make it special for each other and that year we were super busy.

I went first. “Honestly, I like going on dates but it’s not that serious if we can’t make it happen. We can celebrate our love any time we want and we do that. It doesn’t have to be on February 14th.”

“I don’t care about gifts for Valentine’s Day at all. I always went all out because I thought you loved it.” We laughed about it, and ever since, we just treat Valentine’s Day like any other date night and if it’s not convenient for us to do something special… no big deal.

That being said, I know Valentine’s Day has become a great reason to show love – to your spouse, your girlfriends for Galentine’s, or your kids.

In this post, I’m partnering with Nordstrom to share some ideas for what to wear for Valentine’s Day, or any date night any day of the year!

AFTER WORK

In this post, I’m partnering with Nordstrom to share some ideas for what to wear for Valentine’s Day, or any date night any day of the year!

This year, Valentine’s falls on a Wednesday and you may be coming straight from work. This versatile blazer looks great over anything, but I paired it with a skirt, sheer patterned tights, boots and a turtleneck bodysuit. The blazer is TTS and is soft and comfortable. Love the pop of color!

GALENTINE’S

In this post, I’m partnering with Nordstrom to share some ideas for what to wear for Valentine’s Day, or any date night any day of the year!

I found this gorgeous off-shoulder satin floral top and paired it with jeans for a fun Galentine’s or Girls night out. It’s cropped with a stretchy gathered band so you don’t have to tuck it! High-waist jeans are perfect with this one.

ROMANTIC

Ah I was a little wary of trying this shorter dress as I wasn’t sure it was age appropriate and I’m still on the fence, but hmmm goodness I think this outfit is adorable! Block-heel or low-heel over-the-knee boots are perfect with this dress! It’s romantic and fun. It’s true to size.

COMFY CASUAL

In this post, I’m partnering with Nordstrom to share some ideas for what to wear for Valentine’s Day, or any date night any day of the year!

This is super casual, but I love the old black and white v shaped pattern in this sweater. Put on a red lip and it’s perfect for a low-key date night or time with friends especially if the weather is still cold where you live. Paired with cropped wide legs and loafers.

EFFORTLESS BOHO

Finally, this soft flowy floral button-down is so pretty! I thought it looked so great with full-length wide-leg jeans.

And that’s it! Now, if you’re a homebody, I may need to do a homebody date night post just for you, with sweats and Jammies galore!

Be sure to follow me on LTK, Instagram, and TikTok so you never miss a thing, and Happy Valentines, Galentine’s, date night or whatever!

This is for the ladies who keep buying straight je This is for the ladies who keep buying straight jeans but never want to wear them because you can’t figure out why they just never look “right.” So, you go back to your skinnies. (Which is fine, if you want to keep doing that- this is for the ones who want to make a change!) 
 
CUT THEM or hem them, and try again :) 
 
The length is usually perfect if it’s at the bottom of your ankle bone or just above. Try it! Give yourself room for error, and cut! 
 
Now you can wear them with a lot more shoes (not just your heeled open toes) and even boots and flats! 
 
PS- I like to keep some of my straights long, just to wear with higher heels for a “stovepipe” look!  And I cut some for this kind of versatility:). Perfect if you’re trying to transition out of skinnies.  
 
**This can apply to wide legs, boot cuts and flares too! I keep some long, and shorten some so I have a variety of looks** 
 
Lmk if you try it!

It’s official. It’s an epidemic. My DM’s we It’s official. It’s an epidemic.  My DM’s were flooded with more messages than I have ever received.  
 
I transparently shared that I’ve been lonely.  And that even though I have God, my family, and a wonderful online community, there’s nothing like being with friends who know you well.  Who you don’t have to do anything with, except just… be.  
 
In therapy about a month ago, my counselor said: “you need to see your friends..” We’ve been in a new state for 3.5 years and I still have not found community.  She said, “whatever it takes. They meet you halfway, you go to them, or they come to you.  It’s important.” 
 
She is right. There’s nothing like being with people who love and know you … for you.  
 
When I shared, you said that you are lonely, too.  I tell you all this because I am holding myself accountable, and hope to encourage you.  Talk to your friends and see what you can make happen as often as you can. And let’s put effort into new friendships, too.  
 
In the meantime, my first meeting is in the books and I’ve scheduled dates for the rest of the year to see my closest friends.  
 
So grateful for my friend Ginger. Her Airbnb near Fort Worth is so beautiful, yes, but it’s the love and care you feel there that matters the most.
So the thing is this… Rob and I have said for ye So the thing is this… Rob and I have said for years that we don’t care much about Valentine’s Day- we say it’s really just another day for us… but I decided to make him a little custom diy croc v day gift as a joke … and then this man goes and surprises me with a staycation, dinner, massage (complete with massage table in our room- and massage by him!) and all I had to give him were these dang diy croc jibbets on an old pair of crocs 😂😂😂. Sooooooo I’ll make it up to you next year. Ok, @robtotheg ?? Or maybe we go back to v day means nothing 😅 I LOVE youuuu and I’m sorrrryyyyyyyyy I trolled youuuuuu 😅🤓😩 you’re the best everrrr!!!!!!
