Valentine’s Day Outfit Three Ways + 9 Pink, Red, Coral Pieces for Every Budget
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I’ve put together a favorite bright pink sweater with 3 outfits to inspire your look for Valentine’s or Galentine’s day celebrations. Plus, I’ve rounded up other pink, red and coral pieces that I recommend…spring is coming up soon and this color palette will be great for well after the Hallmark holiday.
Of course, I’ll also mention that my boyfriend and I are low-key with this holiday. We don’t plan to go out and prefer experiences over physical gifts. We’ll likely enjoy a home-cooked meal, glass of wine (or cocktail/bourbon) and a quiet night in. Stay tuned for Gift Ideas for Valentine’s Day later this week!

Outfit 1: Work Wear
Since most of us work during the day, I decided to start styling this sweater for a business casual outfit. I paired the sweater with a favorite tweed flare skirt. I tucked it in and pulled out a little fabric from the skirt. Because it is cooler out, I opted for tall riding boots in black. For ever colder climates, you can add in opaque tights to this outfit. I kept jewelry simple with slim bar necklace, classic watch and bracelet.
Style Tip: you can also add in a classic black belt to further accent your waist.

Outfit 2: Casual with Jeans
For transitioning this sweater to a casual look, I swapped out the tweed skirt for dark wash jeans. Instead of heels or boots, I opted for slip-on sneakers for this look. I like a neutral color for shoes and accessories when pairing a pop of color in my outfit – aka bright pink sweater!
Style Tip: To convert this outfit to a more sophisticated date-night option, swap out the sneakers for 3-4 inch heels. A few options I recommend are: block heels; ankle booties, classic heels
Outfit: LOVE Sweater XXS; BR Jeans Size 24 (similar); M. Gemi Sneakers Size 35 (similar); Michael Kors Handbag (similar)
Outfit 3: Comfy with Leggings
Finally, for those who also like to lounge around the house, I put together this comfy outfit with leggings. This is perfect for those who work from home or are stay-at-home moms who want to wear this sweater during the day and transition it to date-night later with one of the ideas above. For leggings, classic black is my go-to and for wearing this outfit out of house, tall black riding boots go perfectly with leggings. For lounging in the house, why not wear a cozy pair of socks with your leggings – my winter favorites with 20% off discount in this blog post.
Style Tip: Consider ordering a size-up or go from petite to regular sizing for a longer hem on a sweater you’ll pair with leggings. I opted for a regular XXS instead of my usual petite XXS in this sweater for this reason.
Outfit: LOVE Sweater XXS; Black Leggings XXS (similar or similar less expensive)
You know I love versatility in pieces and look forward to wearing this “LOVE” sweater year-round. Here are a 9 other pieces I recommend for spring and more! Row 1 includes a few of my wardrobe essential favorites…just in this color palette!
- Row One: The tunic blouse is easy to tuck into jeans or work pants or lounge over leggings. An XS fits me well. The tie-front tee is a great style over jeans or white denim and fits perfectly no matter your size or age. A Petite P fits me best. The twist-front top is SO soft and cozy! An XXSP fits me best.
- Row Two: Who doesn’t love a little bow accent and this detail on the back of the sweater is so cute! A longsleeve dress in red lace is a bold statement. This pink sweater is so versatile and includes a ruffle accent.
- Row Three: Dresses! I own the first dress in blush pink and this red is gorgeous! An XS fits me without alterations. The floral sheath dress is a classic style that will transition from work to date-night. Finally, one of my favorite wardrobe essentials- a ruched dress and this sleeveless version in coral heather is so pretty! Easily layer a blouse underneath or cardigan/blazer over it for casual or business casual looks! An XS fits me without alterations.
