2 Casual Valentine's Day Outfits

v-neck sweater | distressed jeans | leopard clutch | pink tassel earrings ($10 on sale!) | heart sunnies ($10 on sale!) | monogram necklace

So, I totally contemplated not publishing this post bc a) you can totally tell I'm using a remote with my camera (I had a shoot scheduled this day, but my friend and photographer had to cancel last minute...so I DIY'd them!) and b) my hair was a mess in the bottom photos bc it was so windy! BUT, my love for outfit and style sharing far surpasses my pride so what the heck!

I wanted to share a few casual outfit options for Valentine's Day. Bill and I don't have anything fancy planned for Valentine's Day and we usually don't go over the top with celebrating. We typically just have dinner at home, maybe exchange small gifts. If I'm lucky he might bring me home some fresh flowers 😉

Instead of going with the traditional red and pink outfits for V-day, I decided to put together a few neutral looks that are easy everyday outfits with some fun and festive accessories. This v-neck sweater has been one of my favorite purchases from last winter. I wear it so often and it was definitely worth the price! It's so soft and light weight! AND long enough to wear with leggings!

I'm wearing these jeans that I actually distressed myself, but this pair is almost an identical match if you don't feel like distressing them yourself. You can't tell in the photos, but I'm wearing these faux suede nude pumps that were a recent Target purchase (you guys know I love my Target shoes!), which I think helps to 'dress up' this outfit. 

My favorite part about both of these outfits are my fun accessories! I picked up these pink tassel earrings (that are currently on sale for $11!) while at Target recently (go figure) and I love how lightweight they are! I also snagged these cute heart sunglasses (currently $10!) from a recent trip to Old Navy with V-day on my mind! 

This outfit would be an easy one to take from daytime/casual work wear to date night! This blouse is on sale now and I snagged it as soon as I saw it online (also comes in a few other colors)! I love the belled sleeves and relaxed fit of this blouse.

Don't mind my crazy wind blown hair in those last few photos! Oh, what we endure to take an outfit photo! 😂

Friday Finds | Vol. 4

distressed jeans | $17 raw hem v-neck tee | similar cardigan | similar booties | similar beanie

1. These $17 Raw Edge V-Neck tees are back in stock with new colors for spring! I am loving the bright pink and the green jasper color. These tees are sooo soft and just easy to wear and layer. I bought the pale pink one last summer and wore it so much! I may have to bring it out again for Valentine's Day!

2. These pink joggers have got to be my favorite purchase recently! I seriously have been wearing them constantly when I'm home! I sized up to a medium (usually a small at Old Navy) for a comfy fit!

3. I received my $35 Vince Camuto Dupes in the mail yesterday and they are so comfortable! I am so picky with shoes (and they only go on my feet... what movie? anyone?!) and these are so good for the price! I'm sure I will be wearing them a ton once the weather warms up!

4. I recently picked up this L'Oreal Anti-Redness BB cream (thanks to the recommendation from Katie and Ashlee) and holy moly! It is awesome! It's crazy because it actually comes out green, but once you rub it into your skin it transforms into a 'universal shade' to help reduce the look of redness to your skin. I naturally have a reddish tone to my skin and it gets even worse during the winter months when my skin is dry. This BB cream really helps improve the overall tone and complexion of my face!

That's all I have for this Friday Finds! What have you been loving this week?

Make sure to watch my instagram stories today because I will be sharing some of my favorite IG accounts and bloggers with you all for Follow Friday!

Save v. Splurge | Spring Shoes

I know what you are thinking... 'Lindsay, there's still snow on the ground... how can you be thinking about spring?' First, I feel like every year these cute new spring styles sell out of sizes so quickly! And second, I really just want something to help bring me out of my winter funk... So, let's look at some pretty shoes, shall we? I'm all about the designer dupes when it comes to trendy shoe styles. I'm not about to drop 3 figures on a pair of trendy slides or mules if I feel like they will only be on trend for a year or 2. Target is one place that I always look to for cheap budget friendly versions of the trendy shoe styles of today. I actually just purchased this pair the moment I saw them online! I was lusting after this pair last summer (and even pulled the trigger on a pair during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, only for them to go on back order. So, I ended up canceling my order) and was so bummed when I didn't get them. Moral of the story, now is the time to snag those cute shoes for spring!

Affiliate Links: block heel black sandals (save option | splurge option)
nude patent pumps (save option | splurge option)
pointed toe black flats (save option | splurge option)
pointed toe neutral flats (save option - these are in my shopping cart right now! | splurge option)
black loafer mule (save option | splurge option!)
ankle booties (save option | splurge option)
peep toe, block heel booties (save option - just ordered these! | splurge option)

A shoe for all occasions! And kept it pretty neutral with the black and nude tones. All of these styles seem to be on trend for spring but I have my eye on those pointed toe loafers for my next purchase!

Which style is your favorite? Do you save or splurge on shoes?
