Call it a Hallmark holiday, but come February 14th, you’d be hard-pressed not to find me in my Valentine’s Day best, nose down in a heart-shaped box of chocolates. Though the love-infused holiday comes with mixed emotions, there’s no denying that dressing for the romantic theme in rosy reds and baby pinks is a welcome reprieve from the the grey bouts of winter.
I can still remember it: Showing up to school, decorated shoebox in tow, ready to accept a classroom’s worth of Valentine’s Day cards. As a now 30-year-old, the elementary tradition has graduated into a full-fledged love affair (literally) that has me showing up to the office once a year in varying, cupid-approved shades of pink and red. This year, with the love-filled holiday soon approaching, I’m in the mood to splurge on a few new Valentine’s-worthy pieces. But not just any pieces, since, for the sake of my minimalist wardrobe, whatever I purchase needs to be something I can wear well beyond February.
Fortunately, after a quick internet search, it looks like my hankering for year-round Valentine’s-Day garb won’t be all that difficult to find. From heart-shaped accessories to coquette-themed apparel, there’s plenty of love to go around.
