I hated Valentine’s Day before I met Nick, which is part of the reason why our anniversary falls on the day before. Nick understood that I was not a fan of giant teddy bears and chocolate hearts, so the day we started dating was February 13th. But now that I have fallen in love with Nick, I understand the whole Valentine’s Day hype. It’s special and fun and sweet! (Pun intended)

So since 2 romantic days happen to be back to back for us, we have a lot of fun with it. This year we both ended up giving each other gifts and notes earlier in February in anticipation of the celebration. Everyday from February 1st to 14th, Nick had given me a small gift and a piece of a picture to piece together as clues to a surprise and for the whole week leading up to Valentine’s Day, I had given him a silly card with a sweet note. This was so special for us, especially with our busy schedules, because it’s hard to find time to really go out and celebrate. Plus, it’s the little things in life isn’t it?

 

The main thing I wanted to show here though, is our looks for our Valentine’s Anniversary breakfast! We had so much fun dressing up and taking pictures on Saturday and I wanted to brag just a little bit about this dress I discovered at ASOS!

I just adore the details of this dress SO much. I searched online for a week for a dress that I could wear in the cold February weather that was also still light and pretty. The dainty dots and stitching makes this dress so sweet looking. I also have loved the low V neck with a high neck wrap look that’s been so popular lately and this is a similar, but more creative and detailed version of that. I ordered this on 2 day shipping (ASOS has a $19/year 2-day shipping deal right now!) and it came in a day and a half, just like I hoped! (:
PS- ASOS has a lot of different brands- which provides a wide variety of styles!

Nick got this tie and sock set for Christmas and it was the perfect time to wear it! His socks even have little hearts. (:

There’s just something so fun about dressing up together and making whatever we’re doing feel special. I’m so glad he allows me to be a fashion geek and even joins me in it!

Hope you all had a beautiful and sweet Valentine’s Day!

XOXO
