Perfect Outfit for Valentine’s Day

It’s February, that means Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. This is one day that many people look forward to and the rest of society really doesn’t look forward to at all. Some people even hate the day. I spent many years of my life as a single lady. However, it never really bothered me being single on Valentine’s Day. Of course I would have loved to have a date, a boyfriend or even a spouse  but I did not let that stop me from enjoying the day. The way I look at it is you have just as much right to love on yourself as anybody else would. You can and you should be loving on yourself.

Whether you’re single or whether you’re having a date on Valentine’s Day take the time to do something special for yourself. As ladies we enjoy dressing up, getting our nails done, getting her hair done, etc… All these different things make us feel good and feel pretty. So for Valentine’s Day, I challenge you to think of a way to make yourself feel good and feel pretty and confident.

If you’re going to be alone on Valentine’s Day, I want you to put a big smile on your face as you think about being single. Singleness is a precious time that we should embrace. It is a time to discover ourselves, understand our world and to embrace the woman that God made us to be. Here is where your challenge comes in single ladies: I want you to think about what it means to look beautiful and to feel beautiful. What make you look and feel beautiful?  I want you to buy yourself a box of chocolates and roses. I want you to go get your nails done and get yourself a new outfit. And if you’re going to stay at home cook yourself an amazing meal or order an amazing meal in. It’s a day to celebrate love and you have every right to love yourself. In fact, you need to love yourself before anyone else can love you. It is not a pride thing or an egotistical matter. It is about realizing you’re worth and identity in Jesus Christ and loving the way he made you.

If you’re going to be on a date with a friend, boyfriend, spouse, etc. for Valentine’s Day, I want you to have the same mindset. Yes, be excited to share love with your significant other or your bffs but you also should be excited to love on yourself. Whatever your plans may be for Valentine’s Day with your significant other, I want you to pick out a new outfit that makes you feel like 100 bucks or million bucks. I want you to beautify yourself in the way that you love to. And if you need tips and tricks on skincare and make up you can follow my Facebook page and I share a bunch of tips every day.

Now let’s talk outfits for different Valentine’s Day activities. This is what you started reading this article for anyways. There are several things that people do for Valentine’s Day many of the common ones are going out to eat at a fancy place, going to the movies, something fancy and somewhat glamorous. There are other activities that are not as common but still occur for Valentine’s Day. Those could be going to the bowling alley, going on an adventurous hike, camping, more outdoorsy or action related dates.

For those that are going to be going out to eat or going to do fancy, fun things and such, I want to encourage you to wear a dress. I know not all ladies wear dresses. Some ladies don’t even own dresses. Whether you think that Valentine’s Day is stupid or are you love the holiday, take a little time to enjoy it by doing something that you don’t normally do – like a wearing a beautiful outfit. I will link some different items from online stores that have many different dresses to choose from and different price ranges you can choose the perfect dress for you for your date. We all have different body shapes, we are different heights and we all have different things that we are comfortable wearing. It’s important for us to pick out our own outfits that we are going to be comfortable and confident in for Valentine’s Day because we know our body better than anyone else does. I want you to enjoy your time that day, so I’m not gonna say you have to wear heels but I do want you to try to dress up a little bit more than you normally do for the day. As I said ,the dressing up is not so much for your significant other, or even if you’re going out with girlfriends, it is more for you. It will help you feel more lovely and therefore feel more beautiful.

If you’re going to be doing more action-related or adventure thrilled activities that day or for your date, find a way to spruce it up and make it a little bit more glamorous. Maybe that means wearing some sparkly jewelry, unless you’re going to be swimming in the ocean. Maybe that means doing your make up even if you are going on a hike. Maybe that means wearing a cute outfit that you don’t mind getting a little dirty or dusty or sweaty. Remember the whole point of this holiday is to show that you are loved and you love yourself. I will also link some fun Valentine’s Day attire that can be worn for action and adventure related activities below.

Whatever you decide to clothe yourself with on that beautiful and fun day, remember to also clothe yourself in love. God loves and he desires for you to love yourself just as he made you. Wake up that morning knowing that you are loved by the Creator of the universe and nobody will be able to dampen your attitude.

Here are some of my favorite places to shop for fun outfits.
