I can’t stay away from my neutrals, y’all. This outfit is great for a more laid back Valentine’s Day date to the movies or to lunch. Away with the pinks and reds if you’re not into it! You can never go wrong with neutral colors like nude, black and white!
If you’re a big booty Judy like me, you’ll find that dresses are often shorter in the back than the front because of your donk! (Lol.) It’s a real struggle, actually. My solution? The waist-tie! The shirt or sweatshirt covers your booty and gives you a great way to break up this solid nude dress. I bought mine for under $15!!! Buy it here!

I’m sure we’ve all seen that Clare V. clutch via every fashion blogger ever. But boy did I find a steal. This leopard folder over clutch is a look-a-like Clare V. and I got it for $29!!!! Unfortunately it’s sold out, but these look-a-likes are everywhere, you just have to catch them before they sell out!

Still wondering what to do for Valentine’s Day with your honey? Ballin’ on a budget and don’t really want to go ALL out?
Here are some easy ideas to get you started!
1. Dinner and a movie: Make a reservation at their favorite restaurant. Then take them to go see the movie they’ve been dying to watch. Buy your boo their favorite candy and snuggle up like teenagers!
2. Have a picnic: It’s so cliche, but still such a great date. Pack simple lunches/dinners, some battery operated lights (you don’t want real flames, trust me!) and a little dessert! Then take a walk around the park as the sun sets.
3. Dine-in at home: Make their favorite meal from scratch (or attempt to) or order their favorite Chinese food. Play some slow jams, light some candles (real flames this time) and maybe even draw a bubble bath! Rent a flick or grab an all-time favorite movie of theirs and just snugs on the couch!
4. Take a staycation: Whisk them 30 minutes to an hour away (or more if you’re ballin’) to a hotel or use Airbnb.com to find an affordable (and super cute) place! Even if it’s just 20 miles from home, it’s always nice to get away from chaos. Do #2 or #3 and you’ve got the perfect getaway.
5. Shopping: Take them to their favorite stores and let them pick something out. Then enjoy #1!
6. Aquarium, Museum, etc.: This is a super easy date! Grab a bite to eat while you’re there and call it a day!
