Hey cats!
I understand that I'm posting this almost a week after Valentines and that typically outfit/beauty inspiration is usually put up before-hand, but honestly I'm a tad swamped at the moment and this was the first time I actually got chance to wear these things, on the actual day itself. And now is the only time I'm actually back on my computer! So my apologies for that, as I mention further down though I think this is a great template for a date outfit too!

I opted for a classy, vintage-chic look that was dressy but not too much so. I think that this look would be pretty transferable for a date night/evening out or as a daytime look, pairing the dress with a chunky cardi/leather jacket and either some flat shoes or a chunky boot. You could even add a jumper over the top instead.
