If I am being completely honest, my husband and I have never been huge Valentine’s Day celebrators. Not that there is anything wrong with the holiday, we just never have gone out of our way to make a big deal out of it. I always see people posting these super cute Valentine’s Day outfit options, but they are totally fancier than I would need. So I decided to do a little dress up with a medium-dressy option, something that would be more suited to what we would do.
Going with the traditional red, because it is Valentine’s Day after all!
I added a little pop of leopard for some fun!
With all the snow and cold winter temps, pants are really a more viable option in New England in February for me!
I had to include this picture: for those of you who don’t know, we are currently rooming with my parents who have a barn filled with horses. This is Zuko, and yes he is taller than me when he stands up. He protects the horses since my parents live in a more rural area. I had no idea he was behind me until my mom showed me after she took the pictures!
How cute are these shoes? Oh, and another dog photobomb.
My husband got me this pearl necklace for our six year anniversary. I thought it was fitting to wear for Valentine’s Day!
Black pants keep the look a little fancier than wearing just jeans.

Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day? What do you normally do? Share below! Maybe this year we will put more of an effort into celebrating it (hint hint Marcus… ha!)
Love it Nicole! I will totally copy this look for sure. And such a cute photobomber ? You guys must be having a blast!! ?
Thank you! We are loving it up here for sure. I even snagged myself a photographer! (Mom ?)
Love the outfit! And we don’t make a big deal of Valentine’s Day, either, haha. Brett says he doesn’t get “the point” of it. “Wouldn’t you rather me take you out or bring you flowers or surprise you with something special on random days throughout the year (which he does)?” I guess I can’t argue with that logic ? We usually cook a nice dinner together!
I would prefer random flowers and dates too! With kids we just have to make more of an effort to make sure it happens. It’s nice to have a holiday to remind you to do those things I guess ?
