The cutest Valentine’s sweater

January is quickly coming to an end, with February hot on its heels. It’s the month of love, and we’re gonna focus on self-care. If we don’t take time to love ourselves, our tank will hit empty pretty darn quick. And who wants that? Said no one, ever. So grab your best gal, hubs, or fam and plan a FUN Valentine’s or Galantine’s party. It doesn’t have to be fancy; use what you have on hand, head to your local bakery but set time aside this Valentine’s Day to spread the love.

But before we leave January completely behind, Oscar is here today for his weekly gig. We’ve got a Love Struck cocktail on the menu, and I threw together a cute outfit that celebrates Love.  Literally the cutest Valentine’s sweater. So come on in and stay awhile. Hopefully, you’ll leave with a bit of inspiration tucked up your sleeve.  (Oh, and make sure you read to the end of the post.  We’ve got some changes coming to the blog.)

The cutest Valentine’s sweater

Last year near Valentine’s, I featured a gray and white love sweater in this post.   This year it’s shades of red, pink, and cream:  I mean, how cute is this Love sweater from Loft?  Gotta say I never tire of red and pink. Maybe that’s why I love Valentine’s day, as it’s infused with this color scheme. Loft and Talbots have the best selection if you’re looking for Valentine-specific sweaters or tees. I picked out a few of my favorites. Take a look below.

Plaid pants

Today, I went with a festive look with the Love sweater from Loft. Plaid pants from J.Crew were just the ticket to keep the love affair going. Red flats from Frances Valentine complete the festive outfit.

Style tip

• Don’t reserve your plaid pants just for the holidays. Instead, recycle them all winter long. Add a jazzy sweater for an upbeat look, or pair them with a navy blazer to tone to look down.

The Daily Outfits will have a specific space on the main page of the blog for shopping ease. The web designer is working on that now. In the meantime, it will be shared as a featured blog post.
• We’re also going to expand and refine our long-form content.  So continue to expect topics ranging from health & beauty to fashion tutorials anything and everything that helps us age with grace, strength, and beauty. If there’s a topic that’s of interest to you please leave a comment with your suggestion.
