Need a super retro Valentine’s Day outfit? Sure.

This blush sweater is right up my alley: statement sleeves and a cool knit in the color I cannot seem to get enough of. I wore it with a pair of super faded 501’s and these white boots from Forever21. My goal was to put together something sassy + casual for a Valentine’s Day outfit, but I ended up looking like a member of the Brat Pack.

Shop the look:

Sometimes you put on an outfit, feel really good about it, and then shoot it– only to find it doesn’t photograph well. It looks good in person but somehow doesn’t translate to photos. (Blogger pals, you feel me?) Other times, you put on an outfit, feel really good about it, and then shoot it– only to find it is so ridiculously 80’s it almost looks like a costume. For some people, they scrap the look. For me, I lean into it. You want 80’s? I’ll give you 80’s.

White boots are making a huge comeback; you’ve seen me in these and now that I’ve got these heeled + pointed-toe version, I’m set. Toss that old no white after Labor Day rule out the window, because white boots in the winter are seriously statement-making. White helps lighten a look and hint at spring, while still staying pretty firmly in winter territory via jeans and a sweater.

  5. haha! That happens to me all the time! And then when I post my outfits, I find that the outfits I dislike are usually the most popular. Go figure. LOVE this look for Valentine’s Day! It’s always so cold here on Valentine’s Day, so that thick pink sweater would be perfect.

  6. I too am a teen of the 80’s and I can tell you I adore this! Those boots were made for showing off, super fun!

  12. Brat pack forever!! I love this look. 80s are so in now! Also, I totally know how you feel about shooting an outfit and thinking it looked way better in person. Happens all of the time to me. I hate it!!

    1. At least this outfit was actually salvageable for the blog- there have been times I’ve shot something and then had to completely scrap it because it just didn’t work. So weird when the happens!

  13. I have that with outfits of which I think, I don’t actually like it, and then everybody is super enthusiast about it!😂😂😂 I love all items, especially those boots.

    1. Thanks, lady! You’ll have to tell me what you think of the YouTube channel- and let me know when you launch yours! I’d love to subscribe!

  47. Oh, now I feel I need this sweater in my wardrobe, like now! The color is so pretty and it looks so cozy, too. I love the way you’ve styled it with the white boots! I’m actually talking about white footwear; great fashion minds think alike! I hope you have a great weekend ahead, babe, and thanks for sharing!

    XO,
