A super chunky sweater for Valentine’s Day.
Blush pink is still my jam–me and every other girl on the planet, so I’m in pretty good company– so I don’t really need Valentine’s Day as an excuse to break it out. But after shooting this look, I realized it was a perfect VDay outfit: look at those pompom hearts! I love how chunky + oversized the sweater is; perfect for throwing on with jeans or leggings. I chose the former– 90s-style, mom-waisted, straight-legged Levi’s 501s– with a pair of blush mules to lengthen that leg line.
I decided to give the sweater a little half-tuck into the jeans to help add some structure to the outfit. The combo of a baggier jean with a slouchy sweater can be a little overwhelming on my body, so adding a shoe with a heel and defining the waist a bit is key.

Shop the look:
I actually did a super similar version of this outfit last year for Valentine’s, funny that. The Levi’s, the blush sweater, it’s all there. A little more 80s last year, while this is quite 90s, but the bones are the same.
Are you guys already planning for Valentine’s Day? Normally, it’s a really fun sushi-dinner-action-movie date night for me and Dave, but this year he’ll still be in Africa. (He’s visiting his sister, who’s in the Peace Corps in Ethiopia, and together they’re going to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro in addition to visiting the village she’s stationed in.) I’ll probably order in Chinese, pop on some Netflix, and pour myself a big glass of wine! (Aka, a typical Thursday, ha.)

I love all things blush, so this outfit was a total win for me! 🙂
Your Valentines night sounds rather wonderful. I usually spend it with my daughter as our husbands travel. But this year they are both around – its thrown m completely haha xx
How fun to spend Valentine’s with your daughter! And good the boys are in town this year. 🙂
I meant to say – your chunky knit is darling! xx
I love love love this outfit and I honestly think I wore a very similar outfit the other day. I was thinking of getting those Levi’s jeans and what do you think of the fit? Do I need to size up or down or is it TTS?

I sized up- there is ZERO stretch to these bad boys and I feel like this particular cut runs a bit on the small side. That being said, they do “break in” because they’re traditional denim, so now I really love ’em!
This sweater is SO dreamy!!! You look so beautiful in blush!

Thanks so much- I love the slouch of this look!
Blush for me is a year round color but these pom hearts just make it perfect for Valentines Day! It’s just the cutest!

I love how the slouchy nature and pairing it with tougher denim sort of rails against the girliness, though- right? Definitely so many ways to wear this piece!
This is such a cute sweater and I am glad you shared it! I just can’t get enough of the heart poms! Perfect Valentine’s Day outfit if you ask me.

Casual but with enough feminine elements to make it work for VDay, right? 🙂
I love how you styled this sweater! Those mules are amazing!

Easy chic, right? Thanks, Kelly!
Gimme all the blush pink! I’ve been testing out the half-tuck look lately too, and it really does bring more structure to flowier outfits. Cheers girlie <3

Because the jeans are a bit slouchy, it allows me to tuck in the sweater- I think it was a perfect balance, too! 🙂
Love that chunky sweater! It’s so great and a pretty soft color, too.
Isn’t the color great? And I love the fit- super slouchy!
I love it!
Also the color!
