CASUAL VALENTINE’S DAY STYLE

The Steele Maiden: Casual Valentine's Day Outfit Idea - Pink Velvet Skirt

I’ve never really been in to the ‘traditional’ Valentine’s Day routine (a fancy restaurant.. a dozen roses.. box of chocolates…). In fact, when I look back on the years that Adam and I have spent celebrating together they range from sneaking sparklers and margaritas onto the beach at midnight in Santa Monica to taking a train up to snow-covered Montreal for just one night to ice skating in Central Park then grabbing milkshakes at an old-fashioned soda shop in the West Village.

It’s usually a last minute spontaneous plan and sometimes it’s a date that lasts an entire day. Which is why this pink velvet skirt caught my eye. It would be great for a more casual Valentine’s Day outfit and could transition from day to night. But it also works if you hate Valentine’s Day and ignore the ‘holiday’ altogether. It’s just a cute skirt and it’s on major sale and who can really argue with that?

We shot these photos last weekend when we were handed a very mild Winter weather day – but if you don’t get as lucky come February 14th, just add thick knit tights and a big coat overtop of the rest. And on another note – whether or not you have a soulmate – these navy suede boots could absolutely be your ‘solemate’ (I couldn’t resist…) because you order them specifically for not just your shoe size but also your calf size – meaning the perfect fit. Not too tight, not too slouchy. Now that’s a match made in heaven.

MONOCHROME PINK FOR VALENTINE’S DAY

The Steele Maiden: Monochrome Pink for Valentine's Day

Admittedly, I’m a bit of a cynic when it comes to Valentine’s Day. It all just feels a bit forced. But dressing the part? I’m totally fine giving into that. I think my style has become considerably more streamlined in recent years but from time to time (and especially on a holiday that begs for over the top), I don’t mind adding an extra flounce or too.

PINK STRIPE T-SHIRT: GIRL’S NIGHT OUT

Pink stripe t-shirt, leather bomber jacket and OTK boots

Yesterday, I went the way of classic romance for a Valentine’s Day look – but I thought it would be fun to share a look inspired by Galentine’s Day (all hail Amy Poehler for this gem of a holiday) or for any other fun Girl’s Night Out. And since I’m so newly obsessed with this pink striped t-shirt (under $20!) I’m also going to be wearing it in tomorrow’s post for a casual look. Apparently, I’m in the mood for love.
