Even
if Valentine’s Day isn’t a big deal to you and your husband anymore,
it’s a great excuse to hire a babysitter and get out for a date. With
such a rare occasion (where you can escape your Mommy persona and be a
“regular” adult), it’s a good time to think a bit more about what you’re
going to wear on your night out! That’s where I come in, with two
different variations for what to wear this Valentine’s Day.
Go
soft and romantic with pale pinks, creams, and whites. Think lots of
lace, soft sheer fabrics, and feminine details like scallops, pleats, or
bows. If the weather is chilly, add a structured blazer to your lace
dress to give it some edge. Pretty cardigans or a warm scarf wrap is a
great option for keeping toasty as well! A structured handbag or pretty clutch purse is
the perfect accessory for this ladylike look. The grown-up details like
the blazer or a belt are what keep this look from being too youthful,
so don’t fret about looking too much like a cupcake.
Just
because you’re a Mom doesn’t mean you can’t vamp it up a bit for a
night out with the hubby! Combine deep reds with sexy black and you’re
sure to get some attention! Also keep in mind that these bold colors
make quite the statement. The mystery and drama of the color gives you
all the sex appeal you need, while still being pretty modest. You’ll
notice these outfits are a tad body hugging, but don’t show a ton of
skin. To add something a tad wild, grab a snakeskin clutch to pair with this ensemble.

Remember, this is a night about feeling great about yourself, so wear
something you’ll feel great in (sorry, sweat pants don’t count) and head
out for a hot night on the town!
