Valentine’s Day Outfit-Two Ways
February 14th is just around the corner, and if you’re in need of inspiration for a cute, casual look or a flirty, dressy number for a date with your sweetheart, I’ve got you covered.
Both of these looks all start with an adorable heart tunic blouse that I purchased last year at Maurices. If you’ve never shopped at Maurices, you’re definitely missing out! They have so many cute looks for all types of wear including casual, dressy, and women’s work apparel clothing.

You look lovely in both outfits though 🙂

Thanks! 🙂
So lovely! The red pants are killer!
Thank-you! 🙂
That blouse is really lovely!
Thank-you!
Loving the tulle skirt!! I just ordered one for myself and it should be here tomorrow!!! Yay!
Thank-you! That’s awesome, hope you like it 🙂
Love the transition, but my favorite is the second… I really love it!
Thank-you! 🙂
Love the transition! Cant wait for V-day. Have a great week!
Thanks! You too 🙂

OMG that sexy date outfit is seriously so adorable!! you look fabulous. Obsessed with that skirt!!!!! I seriously love it so much. Wish I could pull something like that off!!
Thank-you! The skirt is definitely fun to wear. & you totally could pull it off, girl! 🙂
Cara, I LOVE both these outfits! The red pants are fantastic and I LOVE the skirt. I’d love to say I’m going to get all dolled up, but it’s freezing over in my parts still (like single digit weather) and I’m all about survival so I’ll be in pants and my big puffy coat. Let’s be real though, you’re outfits are so cute I’m using them for inspiration come spring time! Hope you’re having a great week so far! XO -Kim
Thanks Kim! Haha I don’t blame you one bit 🙂
I feel like this could be the perfect day-to-night look for almost any special occasion. The pants to the office and then the skirt for the fun night ahead. Love that skirt, by the way! – Katy
I agree Katy! I actually might do that! Thanks! 🙂
What a great top! I love the styling in both outfits.

So cute! I especially love the top with the red pants.
Thanks! I feel like that could almost be worn anytime beyond just Valentine’s Day. 🙂
Both of these are absolutely fabulous! I could never think of just making up an outfit from my current clothes.
Thank-you! 🙂
You look amazing!! Loving the looks! Both are perfect for Valentines day.
Aw, thank-you!

Thanks! I agree, I wear these red pants throughout the year at various times, so it’s not something that I’m just wearing once.
Gorgeous pics! I can’t decide which look I like better. Loving the fun pop of color in those pants, but also loving that skirt <3

Ugh! Those red pants are absolutely adorable! I love both looks to be honest that it would be difficult to choose one; but I’m leaning toward the first look. I’m all about a casual and comfy look!

Thank-you! I definitely will! 🙂
I’m not a Valentine’s fan. We’ll be in New Orleans this year, but MFD will be at a convention and I’ll be bumming around town.
Love the red pants. I’m a sucker for colored pants.
You have the perfect leg length for a short skirt.
You reminded me I need red pants… ESPECIALLY for V-day!
Haha thank-you! They are actually surprisingly versatile to have throughout the year. 🙂
Perfect VDay looks! Love the dressed up version, but I’m thinking the casual one would fit more with our plans an my style 🙂

Perfect! I’m in love with that skirt!! I don’t know our plans yet but I’ll probably keep it casual since we usually choose to stay home and avoid the crowds =)
Thank-you! Normally that’s what we do too, but it’s nice to get out every once and awhile for a mommy and daddy date. 🙂
Omgosh I love that skirt! You rock both looks girl!
Thank-you! I’ve been waiting for an occasion to wear the skirt, and I thought it worked so well with the heart top. 🙂

I love that skirt!!!!
Thank-you! I do too, it’s such a flirty, girly piece to have. 🙂
I love the toole skirt! My V-day plans are babysitting my baby nephew with my husband so his parents can have a night out! My husband and I usually don’t make a big deal out of it and just get each other a card.
Thank-you! Aw, that will still be fun spoiling your nephew 🙂 We usually keep it low-key too, but there are rare years where we go out somewhere “fancy”-haha!
Cara, you look absolutely adorable! I love that hurt tunics so much, maurices has such cute finds!! I love how effortless the transition is and I love the flirtiness of that little skirt blowing in the wind, super super cute and perfect for a date night!! Hope your week gets off to a wonderful start beautiful!
Aw thank-you! I’m looking forward to wearing the skirt look for mine and my husband’s date soon. Have a wonderful day, Andrea! 🙂
You totally rock both of these looks! I love the tulle skirt! Such a cute and feminine touch!
