You might be asking, “What’s Galentine’s Day?” As Leslie Knope says, “Oh, it’s only the best day of the year. Every February 13th, my lady friends and I leave our husbands and boyfriends at home and we just come and kick it breakfast style. Ladies celebrating ladies. It’s Lilith Fair, minus the angst. Plus frittatas.” So basically, it’s an excuse to drink mimosas, get dressed up and go out with your girlfriends somewhere fun! Ladies celebrating ladies!
I am going to be sharing this Valentine’s/Galentine’s day look with you along with some tips and recommendations for celebrating accordingly…
For Valentine’s day/Galentine’s day, I always see so many posts about the perfect look that usually includes a fancy dress, heels and the whole get up. Well, I’m here to say that I am not about that life, haha. I am all about comfort and dressing up a pair of black jeans like I have done with this look. I just love all black looks because of how dressy they seem! Especially if you are going out with you girlfriends on Galentine’s day, go against the status quo of this holiday and wear black! I do love adding some hints of pinks or reds to my look for this day but in small doses. For this look, I styled this floral blouse from Altar’d State(similar styles linked below) with my favorite black jeans from Old Navy. This top has the perfect pop of pink that really stands out among all the black. I finished my v-day look off with these grey, suede boots from none other than Target?! Not to mention they were under $40…Read on for accessory details and tips for VDay and Galentine’s Day…
For my necessories, I added a few key pieces to complete my night out look. I am just loving the choker fad right now and this simple black choker from Brandy Melville tied in perfectly with my all black look. I added my go-to, rose-gold apple watch with my new favorite band, this rose-gold metal band I found on Amazon for only $12…I finished off my details with this perfect, little black bag from Old Navy that I scored for $4! Read below for my tips/tricks to make this Galentine’s Day/Valentine’s Day the best yet!
Galentine’s Day musts:
- First off, Galentine’s Day falls on a Monday, so throw on your comfiest PJ set with your girlfriends, pop open a bottle of your favorite wine, have some popcorn & indulge in the drama in the newest episode of The Bachelor!
- If you aren’t into all that drama, head to a new restaurant with your girls, try a new sushi place, hit up happy hour, or go hang out at a coffee shop and share a yummy pastry!
- Show your girls just how much you care with a funny Valentine card or celebrate each other by treating yo selves to a pedi! Wind down after with your fav chick flick(He’s Just Not That Into You is my all time FAV Valentine movie)
Valentine’s Day do’s:
- If the weather is nice, pack a picnic including all your favorites and head to a park at sunset!
- Try a progressive date, start at one restaurant and try an appetizer, head somewhere new for the main course, and then hit up your favorite dessert spot to finish the night off!
- Breakfast for dinner: My boyfriend and I have spent now 7 Valentine’s Days together so it’s getting harder to think of something new to do! This year, we are keeping it casual(and cheap) and cooking up some breakfast for dinner together while watching a movie(chick flick Patrick?)
I hope these ideas inspire you to try something new with that special BFF of BF in your life this Val/Galentine’s day! I’d love to hear what your favorite traditions are for this holiday.
