Fashion Friday: Edition happy valentine’s and president’s day

So this Sunday is Valentine’s Day. P and I have very romantic plans which involve me speaking at church while he drives Caroline to a soccer game. It’s exactly like a Hallmark card. But we do have plans to go out for dinner tonight. Not because it’s Valentine’s Day weekend but because Caroline has plans and we have an evening to ourselves and we know we better take advantage of an opportunity when it presents itself.

In other Valentine’s related news, I saw this online yesterday and it made me laugh.

As for cute things I’ve found online this week, here you go:

1. floral print lace up maxi dress

Free People has a version of this, but it’s kind of wonky. But I love this because it really does look like it’s right out of the 60’s and I think it has the potential to be really great.

2. long cocoon cardigan

I love these lightweight cocoon cardigans because, well, they’re lightweight. And they are perfect to throw on over everything from a long sleeve shirt to a tank top, depending on the weather. This blue would be really pretty with white jeans.

3. elan crochet coverup

What? A swimsuit coverup in February? MADNESS. But I figure some of you might be headed somewhere tropical for Spring Break and I really like this.

4. beach blanket bingo swimsuit

I know. A swimsuit. Bleh. But look how cute and retro it is! And ModCloth has so many cute swimsuits so it’s a great place to look for one if you find yourself in need.

5. tassel faux leather crossbody bag

I saw in the Nordstrom catalog that a must have for spring is a crossbody bag. And I agree because they really are so easy to carry around. I love this one by Sole Society and it also comes in black.

6. j.crew plaid gauze popover shirt

Last week we talked about WWJGD (What Would Joanna Gaines Do?) and I feel like this plaid popover from J.Crew fits that category.

7. j.crew skinny cargo pants

These pants are also a WWJGD. And they’d look great paired with the shirt above and some Converse.

8. timex originals leather strap watch

I was actually looking for this watch with a brown leather strap, but I saw this white leather and kind of fell in love with it.

9. gap stripe crew sweatshirt

I featured this a couple of weeks ago and mentioned I’d ordered it but I hadn’t received it yet. I can now say that I adore it. It’s super soft and very cute. But I will tell you that I ordered a large because I wanted it kind of big and roomy and I do not regret that decision.

10. sam edelman gemma lace up sandals

How cute are these sandals? I love that they have the lace up feature of a gladiator but without the full calf commitment. I could never wear sandals laced all the way up to my knees because 1. I am claustrophobic and 2. THE HEAT. But I think this version is a great play on the trend for those of us who can’t go full Marcus Aurelius.

That’s it for today.

Have a great Friday. And a good Valentine’s Day.

And a Happy President’s Day.

At least one of those calls for some cake.
