Frugal Fashion Friday – Casual Valentine’s Outfit Ideas

After my post on Wednesday, I was afraid y’all would think I was some bitter or scorned woman, so I want to reassure you that I, indeed, am not.

In fact, I’ve even been thinking about ways we can have some fun celebrating the holiday next week and scoured the internet Pinterest for some cute Valentine’s outfit ideas.  Kev and I typically have small group on Friday night, but our church’s youth group is offering a babysitting night as a fundraiser, so we might be heading out on Valentine’s Day after all!  And whether or not you have a “valentine” in your life, it’s still fun to dress in something special.

If you know me or have read here long, you know that I am all about casual and comfort.  So, rest assured that the ideas I am sharing today are only what I would consider wearing in real life, which happens to be pretty casual these days.  I think it’s fun to dress up sometimes, but if you are looking for really fancy, I’m not going to be able to help you with that today.

Pin #4

I thought I was 100% in love with the red ruffle top, until I saw this geo-print top.  Oh my word!  I love the loose fit and the pattern/colors are so unique and eye-catching.  It would go perfect with a cute pair of jeans, but still looks “put together.”  So simple, it’s genius.   

So here’s where it gets a little comical.  I took a stab at my own version of 2 of these outfits {with a 3rd option using pink} and I never feel as “cool” wearing them as the pictures look on Pinterest.  I guess that’s real life for ya!
