Valentine’s Day Style

Fashion
February 3, 2019

Dating back to the 14^th century, Valentines Day celebrates the tradition of courtly love and by the 18^th century lovers were expressing their love for each with offers of flowers, confectionary and greeting cards. Jump to 2019 and we find society parted by the tradition; the hopelessly romantic celebrate with candlelit dinners, long stem red roses and the occasional teddy bear whilst the single girls gather for a night out in their finest frocks and even higher heels. No matter your view, it’s anyone’s excuse to put on a new outfit! So what’s your style? What type of Valentines Day are you celebrating this year? Let me help narrow your choices with some of my favourite picks available at David Jones, Westfield Kotara.

Sexy & Sultry: Think slinky silhouette, a pinch of animal print and sleek beauty. This Bec & Bridge cami and skirt make the ultimate date-night combination. With animal print heavily on trend, you might find yourself overwhelmed, which is why I’ve opted for just the top and not a complete outfit. When styling sultry silhouettes keep your jewellery minimal, the idea behind this look is skin. Wittner have just dropped these divine light pink pumps and I am in love. Whilst Olga Berg have released this soft and slouchy mesh ball bag that adds just the right amount of glam.

Classic yet Elegant: This Saba dress ticks all the boxes for a look that is classically stylish. The midi length, button trend will continue to impress as long as your accessories continue to charm. Compliment any bucket bag with a silk scarf; opt for contrasting colours to your dress so there’s a bit of POP within your look. Mimco’s latest range is beautifully abstract and consists of coloured gems and white pearls, a modern touch to an otherwise classic outfit. I’ve always liked a heeled mule with any midi-length dress as it keeps the legs long, in this case Midas provides the perfect heel height to make your Valentines Day a comfortable one.

Fun + Playful: With the latest collection by Mink Pink offering bright yellow hues and fresh whites I wanted to play with a more relaxed date-night look. Finding a mini skirt that isn’t too mini is a little tricky for me, which is why I love this piece. Accessorised with chunky Midas block heels, gorgeous oversized Quay sunglasses and Mimco’s brass and carved wood collection, this fun and playful Valentine Day outfit won’t break your budget.
