Valentine’s Day is this week, friends! Crazy! I know people have mixed emotions on this holiday, and I understand that, but I also think it’s sweet! I just helped one of the little boys I nanny make heart shaped Valentines for his class, and it was so cute and sweet!
Today I’m showing you guys some outfit inspiration for the day of love. I feel like I could have included ten different outfit ideas in this post, but I decided to go with this casual outfit – partly because it was freeeezing and my other outfit options were dresses, and partly because I love this sweater! I put this sweater in my Christmas gift guide, and it’s from H&M.
This photo shoot was an adventure, to say the least. Hannah, my amazing friend and photographer, wanted me to ask one of my guy friends to do a couples outfit post, but I told her that wasn’t going to happen, haha. Then, we picked the windiest day ever to shoot these photos! We found a stone pillar that I wanted to sit on for the photos, but it was almost as tall as I was, and after the first few failed attempts to jump up onto it, I was freezing and crying from the wind. Not to mention, my hair was a mess! I was determined to get these photos, and was about ready to ask one of the college guys walking by to give me a boost onto the pillar – but Hannah told me she’d be embarrassed if I did that.
So I placed my hands on top of the stone pillar, jumped, and pulled myself up. I like to say it was very athletic of me, but I’m not sure that’s the truth. But, I did make it up there . . . and soon jumped back down when we realized the lighting wasn’t good, and the higher up I was, the worse the wind was, and my make up began to run.
So it was on to location number two.
Anyway, whether you’re single, dating, or married, I hope you have a great Valentine’s Day! Do you have plans for the holiday? Let me know in the comments!
Thanks for stopping by! See you soon!
Love,
Gabriella Catherine
