Bekas Beauty: Valentine's Day - Dress For Your Date

Whenever a holiday like Valentine's Day comes around, it just gets me in a good mood. I almost feels like I have a project to work towards, in a weird way. This year is my year to plan everything and I'm feeling the pressure. What should we eat? what do I wear? Presents? The thought process is endless for me.

So here are a few of my favourite outfits, separated by the type of Valentine's you might be having.

Casual Date

This could be a chat over coffee or a cinema date , but a casual date should be simple but accessorized perfectly. I'm thinking quirky animal prints, maybe a bit of leather and some gorgeous jewellery to smarten it all up.

1. Jack Wills Anchor Pattern Sleeveless Dress
2. Warehouse 3D Flower Detail Necklace
3. Jack Wills Radford Nail Varnish
4. Mango Saffiano Effect Tote Bag
5. ASOS Gold Plated Chain Bracelet
6. ASOS Maximum Flatform Loafers

Dinner Date

For me, a dinner date outfit needs to take his breath away. A sexy slip dress under an oversized coat and dainty jewellery will distract him from the menu and ensure the focus is on you.

1. River Island Black Lace Insert Slip Dress
2. Oasis Long Drape Coat
3. ASOS Limited Edition Crystal Charm Necklace
4. Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick in Glamour101
5. Kurt Geiger Labrea4 White High Heel Sandals
6. River Island Gold Crystal Heart Repeater Tennis Bracelet

Long Term Lovers

This was probably the most difficult to create an outfit for. This is for those couples who have been together for a while now that use Valentine's Day to remind themselves why they love each other so much. I don't care what you say, for me, lingerie is an outfit that should be planned for special occasions.
