Got plans for Valentine’s Day? If you do, sweet (no pun intended)! If you don’t, join my club. I’m not a party pooper, but I’m also not huge on holidays. We never made a big deal of them growing up, so I guess it’s really just all I know. In effort to be a bit more festive, I thought I’d share an outfit that I think transitions quite well from a day at your desk to a dinner date with your, well, date.

I relied on the same outfit formula for both combinations:

Burgundy Oxblood Sangria Marsala Sweater Dress + Gray Jacket + Black Tights and Booties 

Sorry about all the crossed out colors. Just trying to keep up with the Pantones’ over here.

After a long day at the office, I’m inevitably running late to pick up the boys from daycare because I got stuck in a meeting. We had to get an early dinner reservation because, of course, we live in “Trendy Restaurant Central” and every reservation for a normal dinner date time was booked when we tried to schedule something MONTHS in advance. I rush home and have just enough time to get myself ready which, because I’m such a fabulous outfit planner, requires only a switcheroo of the jackets.

My fitted sweater dress holds on by its fingernails to enough conservatism for the office with a high neckline, long sleeves, a blazer, and sufficient length (not to mention the tights). Said sweater dress gets an edgy overhaul when I toss the blazer to the back of my closet in exchange for a moto jacket. Remove aforementioned moto jacket and M likes the look… a lot! And that clearly means I’ve nailed the Valentine’s Day dinner date attire.
