What to wear this Valentine’s Day!

This Sunday is Valentine’s Day! It is an extra special day for me as it was the day my son was born and I first became a mother. There is always a celebration in our home on Valentine’s Day.

So, how are you celebrating Valentine’s Day this year and what will you be wearing?

Dates with lovers, friends or family – I like to keep it simple:

• Wear something that feels comfortable and looks flattering – especially if the weather is hot!

• Choose colours that you feel good in – black doesn’t suit everyone so choose a colour that makes you smile. 

• Grab simple key items – dress them up with some sequence, luxe fabric or statement jewellery. 

To create an outfit fit for you – grab a few key pieces from your wardrobe and add extras from your local op shop to complete the look.

• Statement jewellery starts from as little as $2

• Heels start from $5

• Luxe or sequence tops from as little as $3

This Valentine’s Day I’ll probably go with shorts and dress them up for the evening with some heels and a sequence top with crop jacket, clutch and statement necklace.

So, what will you wear? Take some pics of your Valentine’s Day outfit and share them on our Facebook or Instagram page tagging @raidmywardrobe we’d love to see it!

Yours in all things preloved,
