CASUAL VALENTINE’S DAY OUTFIT
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!!! I feel like I have been celebrating Valentine’s Day for weeks. I have been wearing red for days gearing up for the BIG day. Now that I am an old married woman, Joe and I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. There are no fancy restaurants in town to go out to dinner, and a trip to the Dairy Queen is not where I would want to go. I was thinking about romance and how Valentine’s Day brings out the Cupid in so many people, so I thought that I would share one of the most romantic gestures that Joe did.
We had gone to a UT Football game, and we went out to dinner before the game. It wasn’t a wine and candles kind of dinner, but we were in love, and that was all that mattered. The conversation turned to his old girlfriends, and somehow we started talking about little black books. You know what I am talking about, the book that men had where they kept all of the phone numbers of their girlfriends before the days of cell phones. I thought that those were a myth and didn’t exist, but sure enough, he pulled his out from his pocket. While we were sitting there, he tore out all of the pages and ripped them into shreds. A couple was sitting at the table next to us, and the man looked at Joe and what he was doing. He shook his head and said, “big mistake buddy, big mistake.” Lol!
Valentine’s Day calls for a touch of red. I added red with my blazer, and also with my shoes. This blazer is a true red, and it is a short blazer that hits at my hips. The one button style blazer is my favorite style, and I like the ruched sleeves on this one. The way the blazer is made with the points in the front, it is very flattering and slimming.

Thats a precious story! Cufe outfit too. We love your Valentines stories.
I think that was a very romantic gesture on Joe’s part! And it’s exactly what younger people need to hear about romance. Romance is heating up your car for you on a cold morning. Romance is always taking care of your car, so you don’t have to think about it. (Seriously, I can’t remember the last time I had to take my car for an oil change myself, or pump gas for that matter. I do take it to get washed though.) Romance is bathing that squirmy toddler so you can finish reading a book, or maybe take a bubble bath yourself. And we need to find those things that speak to our husband’s heart as well. That’s real romance, not RomCom romance.
LOVE all the photos from the stables, btw. Speaks to my Texas-girl heart.
What a great story. It’s the little things in life that matter now, not gifts.
So thankful we still have each other after all these years. He’s my Valentine? every day of the year.
You look great in red and I love the storefronts! Looks like a quaint town.
Happy Valentine’s Day friend! ?
The red pumps make the outfit. But I’m a shoe girl as you know. The photo backgrounds were cool. Especially the Coca-Cola one. The story about Joe is one of the sweetest things I’ve heard. You got a good one in him. My husband and I don’t normally celebrate Valentine’s Day in big way but he’s taking me out of town and to dinner today. After 30 years he’s still a romantic. I’m lucky. ??
Love the touch of tearing up the pages of the little black book. My Mr Mc and I will be celebrating with a nice meal at home and a bottle of fiz. Sending love to you both. Jill x
