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?

🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogi 🎃unpopular opinion: You don’t have to do Oogie Boogie Bash to have the perfect spooky season day at Disneyland⠀⠀🎃Now, here’s the thing: I love Oogie Boogie Bash.  But it sells out SO quickly every year.  And I promise, there is still a LOT of Halloween Time fun at Disneyland (yes even without an Oogie Boogie Bash ticket). I’ve been hopping around the parks with Undercover Tourist and we’ve had a TOTAL blast doing all the spooky things together.⠀⠀A few of my favorite Halloweenie things to do during a parks day (or night):⠀🖤visit the Halloween Tree (IYKYK)⠀🧡watch the Dapper Dans sing all their cutesiest spookiest songs⠀🖤check out the Dia de los Muertos area in Frontierland AND the performances in Paradise Guardians (check for the Mariachi Divas in the app….they’re AMAZING)⠀🧡try at least one new to me spooky treat (yup, that includes my seasonal cold brews and this year’s Minnie Bat Caramel Apple)⠀🖤do alllll the themed attractions, each of these does something special for Halloweentime: Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween, Monsters After Dark, Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree and…..our fav the Haunted Mansion ⠀🧡do Pumpkin Pursuit at Downtown Disney ⠀🖤the new Goofy’s Kitchen Halloween Dinner and Brunch (we loved the dinner over the weekend and I’m sharing the brunch in stories today!)⠀⠀🎃My friends at Undercover Tourist have some pretty awesome guides to Halloweentime on their site……they’re a great spooky season resource for info and a great deals on Disney tickets resource year round.  I know, I rave about them a lot but……who doesn’t love a Disney partner that gives you deals on trips to the Happiest Place on Earth for ANY holiday or season?⠀⠀#FrogHopDLR #Disneyland#DisneylandResort #Halloweentime @themeparkfrog @disneyland⠀⠀⠀
But the real question is…..which Bluey episode i But the real question is…..which Bluey episode is your favorite?!?We are off to play keepie uppie and pass the parcel at Oogie Boogie Bash. 🤣#bluey #oogieboogiebash
🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨 3 MISTAKES I MADE AT MY FIRST RUN DISNEY RACE 🚨⠀⠀🛑 Learn from my mistakes, 3 things you should NOT do if you’re running Disney races this year (trust me):⠀⠀1️⃣ Passing Go and Heading STRAIGHT to the parks: I realllllyyyyy wanted medal pictures.  In my running outfit.  So, instead of taking the buses straight from the finish line back to the hotel……we went to the Magic Kingdom.  Took photos.  Went to lunch.  And felt…..terrible by about 1 pm.  So take it from me, finish the race.  Go to the hotel.  Shower. Take a nap.  THEN go to the parks. ⠀2️⃣ Breakfast: ok, mistake number 2.  WHAT WE ATE.  We booked a very cute, very on theme lunch.  It was also very rich and creamy food.  And…..was NOT IT after a race.  Some of us may have gotten sick.  It might have been the food.  Or the lack of sleep.  But, breakfast food (waffles / eggs) would have been a MUCH better choice.  Now bonus points if you can guess where we ate.  Love it, but….not for the first meal after the race.⠀3️⃣ Park Tickets: I spent WAY too much.  I didn’t buy my park tickets in advance and paid full price.  On a race weekend, you’ll probably want tickets for race day and the day after if not two days after.  So….buy them NOW.  While you can get a deal. ⠀⠀🎟️ Which leads to……when I say buy those park tickets now, I mean it. Big News! Undercover Tourist is offering their best ticket deal at BOTH Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort…for a VERY limited time, get Adult Theme Park Tickets at Child Prices.  So whichever race you are running (or races in my case)……snag tickets NOW.  I’m grabbing mine for Wine and Dine and Princess weekend……..⠀🎟️ want a link to the deal? Comment TICKETS PLEASE and I’ll send it your way! ⠀👟 Are you running a Disney Race this year? Which one? ⠀⠀🥇 And if you’re an experienced Run Disney person….what tips do YOU have for first timers?⠀⠀@themeparkfrog @disneyland #FrogHopDLR #rundisney

Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off Two good witches and one black cat…….kick off another year of family halloween costumes.The thing is, I tried to talk Lydia out of these costumes.  It was a cooler day on Saturday and I kept telling her we could just wear jeans and the hats.  Until, I realized…….we may not have that many Halloween seasons left of cute family costumes.  So pink witches we were…..for the kickoff of Legoland’s Brick or Treat. We love Brick or Treat (this is our 3rd year doing it). It’s got some new activities this year, and I L-O-V-E that it’s included in your regular @legolandcalifornia ticket (bonus it ALSO will be included in Kids Free October here in SD).Our favs this year:- the wacky witch trail near the water park entrance- the zombie cheerleaders- halloween themed apple fries- the monster security checkpoint- Jam Out with the Rockers (this meet and greet is HYSTERICAL, scroll for the footage)Brick or Treat takes place on Saturdays in September and then Saturdays and SOME Sundays in October (dates are on the Legoland website).Welp, this makes it official.  Summer has come to an end. Bring on the Halloween fun!#sponsored #LEGOLANDcalifornia
