There are so many things that go swirling around your, or my, head on Valentine's Day. Things like, what do I get my significant other or where are we going to go? A picnic or a late night dinner? Most of the time, what I am going to wear ends up on the bottom of the list and before you know it, lover's day is upon us. I don't own many things that are red, with hearts, or that resemble the normal valentine's attire. So, in the end, this is what I came up with. A black and white dress paired with glittered polka dots tights are my idea of getting dressed up. Add some pops of red with a coat or some shoes (or both in my case) and you're set!

Perfect for a night out on the town, the obligatory valentine's outing, and oh so easy to recreate. This will be my ensemble for the night when Jared and I had to DaRuMa's for the 4th? or maybe 5th? time. A little tradition where we like to stuff our faces until we can't move. Then, I like nothing more than to put on my pajamas and spend the rest of my night feeling overly satisfied. Sound about right?

What are your valentines plans?
