Valentine’s Day Clothes: Day, Girls’ Night and Date Night

Let's talk Valentine's Day Clothes.  From daytime casual outfits to Galentine's Day to a Date night, this polka dot print skirt is the perfect piece to base all your Valentine's Day outfits around.

Valentine's Day Clothes: Isn't this polka dot skirt adorable? It's perfect for casual outfits and date night outfits!

Can you believe it's time to plan for Valentine's Day Clothes already?  I feel like we literally just took the Christmas tree down and packed up the matching family holiday pajamas we wore on Christmas morning…..but here we are.  It's time to start planning for Valentine's Day Printables, class parties and clothes.

Now that Lydia is in full blown kindergarten, Valentine's Day isn't a day….it's an entire season.  We've got a class party, I have a couple fun girls' nights and (miracle) we may even squeeze a date night in.

Here's the deal, as much as I'd love to be in the position to invest in tons and tons of Valentine's Day Clothes…..that isn't realistic.  So I decided to buy one new staple piece (this red polka dot skirt for under thirty dollars) and to use it for all our Valentine's Day plans.  From class parties to date night, I think…..I've got it covered.

Valentine's Day Clothes: Day, Girls' Night and Date Night

It was really fun to put these different looks together.  They're flattering on a pear shaped body, they're comfortable to wear, and they're not a million dollars.

On the hunt for a polka dot skirt? This one is perfect for Valentine's Day clothes options or spring casual outfits!

Valentine's Day Clothes for Daytime: This is the first year I'll be able to visit Lydia's class for her Valentine's Day Party (in fact, I'm in charge of it).  While I was teaching, I was in my own classroom on Valentine's Day.  Lydia actually has a teacher work day ON Valentine's Day this year, so her class party will be the day before.  My goal? Comfortable clothes for daytime.  I paired the red polka dot skirt with a simple white tee and red slip on sneakers.  It's cute, it's the right color scheme and it's perfect for wearing all day long.

Want to know how to style a polka dot skirt? This is the perfect casual spring outfit!

Valentine's Day Clothes for Girls' Night: I can't wait to do a couple fun Girls' events for Valentine's Day.  I already had a Valentine's Day luncheon complete with one of my favorite pink drinks recipes(we were all so crazed in February that we did it early) with a few of my new San Diego friends, and I even have a girls' weekend planned up in LA.  For those events, I wanted something fun and hip but also something I could actually stand to wear all night (ha).   I paired the polka dot skirt with a white tee and a pleather jacket and block heels.

Date night outfits? This polka dot skirt is perfect with Valentine's Day Clothes or simple pieces!

Valentine's Day Clothes for Date Night: It's been a number of years since we were able to squeeze a date night in for Valentine's Day….but this year? We swear we're making it happen (even if it's a few days early or late).  Our plans? A nice dinner, maybe a live concert.  For date night?  I want to go FULL ON red and pink.  I mean, it's Valentine's Day right? I paired an off the shoulder top with my polka dot skirt and my favorite heels….plus I love this pearl hair clip for a little romantic touch.

What do you have planned for Valentine's Day Clothes or events? Will you be doing a date night? A girls' night? Or more casual day plans?

It includes ebooks, audiobooks, games and movies (I’ve talked a TON about the books and audiobooks that are included, so I’m excited to share a math⠀option).⠀⠀Our current favorite multiplication games:⠀⠀1️⃣ Multiplication Memorizer⠀⠀2️⃣ Multiplication Kids⠀⠀3️⃣ Pinkfong Fun Times⠀⠀Now, anyone in your house?

The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this lit The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this little area during our day at Knott’s Berry Farm……. (teachers, you get it right?!?)I mean, HAD TO TAKE A PHOTO (or 20). This weekend was the start of Peanuts Celebration at Knott’s Berry Farm and we spent a day immersed in all things Snoopy.  From the rides in Camp Snoopy to the adorable new shows to the ACTUAL PIGS in Pigpen’s Pig Pen there was so much to do…..I’m so glad that Knott’s invited us to check it all out!Now, who is YOUR favorite Peanuts character? (Lydia’s is Sally, she’s actually playing her in a school play TODAY — the timing, right?) @knottsberryfarm #knottspeanutscelebration
✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀ ⠀ 💜The people a ✨ Happy 100th Disney!✨⠀⠀💜The people are the magic.  Yesterday was filled with friends and food and fun and feet (sore ones after walking around from dawn to way past dusk)…….and as Lydia and I tucked ourselves into bed last night……I felt so much gratitude.  Our happy place has brought so much joy into our lives and so many people that enrich each moment.⠀⠀✨The Disney 100 Celebration will be happening ALL YEAR, and I feel like we still have so much to see and do.⠀⠀💜Favorite Moments and Experiences from our day one of Disney 100:⠀🚂riding Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad: I avoided ALLLLLL spoilers (there are some in this carousel btw), and had seen NONE of the attraction until we stepped into the queue…. it was absolutely adorable and I can’t WAIT to ride it again, plus when we exited the ride…..some of the team that created it were at the exit and seeing their smiles? ABSOLUTE DISNEY MAGIC.⠀🌅seeing the sun rise over the castle bright and early⠀💕running into friends every 5 minutes, it felt like a giant reunion⠀👗characters in their costumes, not going to lie….we didn’t wait in lines for them….they were length, but we gave a wave as we walked by and they looked stunning⠀⠀✨When is your next Disney trip???
🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for 🏰Dreaming of Dancing in Front of the Castle for Spring Break?🏰⠀⠀📷A few castle photo tips:⠀1️⃣side, not center……both sides of the castle have lovely little spots that provide a great view of the castle and moat, but avoid the crowd (plus you can get some nice flattering light into the mid morning or in the late afternoon)⠀2️⃣want to be closer to the front? Sit on the back of the benches built into the moat entrance, you’ll be a bit elevated, it gives a great angle and a better view of the castle herself ⠀3️⃣if you REALLY want that walking into the castle shot…..this is something you can do during early entry time if you are staying on property ⠀⠀🧳Now, let’s talk Spring Break tips in collaboration with @themeparkfrog :⠀🚨This is IT.  Red alert.  If you’re hoping to visit the Happiest Place on Earth for Spring Break….BOOK IT NOW.  Spring Break is around the corner, and the more you plan, the happier you’ll be (trust me).⠀⠀To do (in order):⠀1️⃣book your hotel, theme park tickets and rental car: for the best deal, you can do this as a bundle with Undercover Tourist (you’ll save a TON this way….I’m sharing more in stories)⠀2️⃣once you have your trip dates….book dining.  At Disneyland you can book 60 days in advance (which means, NOW and coming up very soon for Spring Break).⠀3️⃣ If you want to do something special like the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, you can ALSO book that 60 days in advance.⠀⠀✨So, are you ready? Blue skies, sunshine, and Disney Magic guaranteed. What are YOUR spring break plans?
