What To Wear For Valentine’s Day Date Night Or Galentines
Today is the last day of my Valentine’s Day series. It has been a long time since I did a series, but if you enjoyed this one, be sure to comment that you would like to see more in the future. This last day is dressier than the others. These outfits can be worn for work, as a church outfit, appointments, or any time you want to look a little nicer. Get ready for three outfits that would be great for Valentine’s Day date night or Galentines.

What To Wear For Valentine’s Day Date Night Or Galentines – Satin Skirt
What is Galentine?
If you have never heard of a Galentine, don’t feel bad since it is a recent holiday that came about because of a television show. Parks and Recreation aired a show back in 2011 about “The One That Got Away,” and Leslie threw a Galentine event the day before Valentine’s Day for female friends. The show was a hit, and in 2017, the stores and social media started promoting the holiday. Now, on February 13, Galentine’s Day, a nonofficial holiday, is celebrated as a day for “ladies celebrating ladies.”
You know I like versatile clothing, so I picked items you will be able to wear for more than just Valentine’s Day. I get it, not everyone goes out to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but most of us need a nice outfit for a special occasion. This Boat Neck Dolman Sweater is a stunner! It fits so nice, and manages to be roomy and fitted at the same time. You can pull it down for a longer tunic look, but I liked the blouson effect with the leopard skirt.
This Heart Clutch Purse might be the cutest accessory I’ve shown so far. It is absolutely adorable and would be perfect for anyone attending a wedding. It is also available in black, navy, and purple incase red isn’t a color you want to carry.
I added the Ashton Gold Pearl Heart Statement Earrings that were c/o Kendra Scott. These swoon-worthy earrings can be worn more than just for Valentine’s Day. I LOVE these earrings, but they are more expensive than the other earrings I’ll link to. There is a smaller version that is a little less expensive, and they are available in white, red, or pink.
This Leopard Print Skirt is a silky/satin style skirt and would be great for any occasion. It features an elastic waist, so it is comfortable to wear. You know I love leopard print, but the skirt is also available in several colors and prints.
What To Wear For Valentine’s Day Date Night Or Galentines – Feather Trimmed Pants
Before you keep scrolling, don’t let the feather feature on the pants scare you. They are removable, and the pants are machine washable.
The Tie Sleeve Top is by CeCe, which is one of my favorite brands. Their clothing is of nice quality, and it is flattering with a hint of a feminine vibe. The v-neck creates a longer, leaner neck, and the ties at the cuffs are a great detail.
I’ve had this Ostrich Feather Embellished Clutch for a while. It is a showstopper, and I always get asked about it when I carry it somewhere. I keep it in the clear plastic bag it came in to keep the feathers from getting ruffled. No one likes ruffled feathers. Lol!
The double-heart crystal earrings are lightweight and look great for Valentine’s Day. Like the heart clutch above, they would look wonderful for a wedding, bridal shower, or anniversary.
These High Waist Feather Hem Pants are so versatile! They are lightweight, so you can wear them all year round. Because the feathers are removable, it is like getting 2 pairs of pants in one. One that is a statement item, and one that can be a workhorse type piece.
What To Wear For Valentine’s Day Date Night Or Galentines – Satin Dress
I like combining affordable clothing with more expensive items. Can you believe this outfit is from Walmart?
The Faux Suede Double Breasted Trench Coat Jacket is a nice weight trench, and I love the hot pink color. It isn’t too vibrant, but it is bright. The faux suede material is soft and subtle, and the buttons add a nice touch. This classic style trench is also available in a bunch of colors, and runs true to size.
I’ve carried Dooney & Bourke handbags for a long time. I found this Ecru colored bucket bag on sale for 40% off at Nordstrom Rack, and I knew it would be great for this spring and summer. This is a fantastic neutral, and it will look great with almost everything I’ll be wearing.
The heart hoops are versatile and lightweight. They are one of six pairs that are part of the Valentine’s Day Earrings.
Now for the Sleeveless Midi Slip Dress! The dress is by Free Assembly, and if you’ve ever purchased any items from that brand, you know they are usually great quality. I’m always surprised at the thickness and weight of the items I get from them, especially for the price point. I read that this dress runs small, so I ordered a medium and a large. I only tried the large, and since it fit, I didn’t even bother trying the medium on. The straps are adjustable in the back, which creates a nice view if you don’t plan of wearing a cardigan or jacket.
The dress is very silky and flowy and is a gorgeous dress for a dressy occasion. Sizes are limited, so I hope you are able to get one before it completely sells out.
More Looks For Valentine’s Day Date Night Or Galentines
Going out for dinner to celebrate with someone you love? This red dress from Nordstrom is perfect! I love the flirty sleeves and the feminine neckline. Maybe your date will add something sparkly to go there! lol. I think the pleated hip would be very flattering on most women.
Here’s a little more formal dress from Tahari. This satin shirt dress is a fake wrap, which I prefer. No gapping issues to grapple with. I think V-necks are flattering on most people but you do have to make sure they don’t plunge too deep. If you’re in between sizes, I’d size down. Or you can have a pretty lacy bralette, in case.
Here’s a fun and flirty skirt to wear on Valentine’s Day or any date night! Pair it with a pretty black sweater and some boots, and you’re ready to hit the town. Tulle is very big right now, and there are some very feminine looks at the link. There’s a black and white version that’s very elegant. Depending on whether or not they’re on sale, around $50 dollars.
That’s it! We’ve covered everything I could think of to help you celebrate the day of love. You don’t have to have a significant other to still celebrate; you can celebrate your love of life.

You look great in all of these! I’m wanting that pink tie blouse!!
I’ve really enjoyed your posts on Valentine’s Day outfits and have looked forward to them every day! Please do more series!
The link for the pink CeCe blouse is not accurate. It is only black, blue and burgundy.
Val, the pink has probably already sold out then.
That pink tie blouse is beautiful! Loved everything on you. Thank you for sharing your Valentine’s Day outfits.
I love all these outfits for Valentine’s Day. Such pretty pink and red shades and you pull it all together so well!!
I have enjoyed your Valentine series so much!!! And, yes, I would enjoy more series!!! Please & Thank You!!!
I love the red sweater and leopard print skirt combo. I’d never have thought of that but it looks so cute. And we are cheering for the Ravens!!!!!
Green Bay Packer fan.
Adorable outfits and accesories..you do such a great job!
These outfits are beautiful. I usually don’t dress for Valentine’s Day but I enjoyed the series and all of your fashion suggestions.
This series for Valentines has been fun and I ordered a few items! Not into football but enjoy the game!!
You look so great in the red sweater, and animal print skirt.
I loved your VDay posts! I am looking forward to getting one of your stylish outfits AND possibly going out. Thank you!
Love the flowy look of the leopard print skirt. Looks dressy but comfy.
I’m working on payroll taxes today too. Took a little break to look at your blog. I have really enjoyed all of the Valentine’s clothes. I don’t seem to get many chances to dress up lately, but I still enjoy looking at pretty clothes.
You find the most unique items & loved the series. Go Ravens!
The Barlow is my favorite Dooney of all time! I have it in 4 colors but not in that ecru shade.
Tania, this Valentine’s series has been fantastic! I don’t usually dress especially for Valentine’s Day. But I LOVE pink, and hearts, and this series has included so many versatile and unique articles of clothing and accessories! I love so many things you have shown, and lots of them are very reasonable and can add some color and fun to a basic wardrobe. I hope you do more series!
Packers all the way!! We are Packers fans living in Vikings territory. Go Pack Go!!!
LOVED the series! No pun intended!
Please do more.
I love that pink top.
Hi!! I love the Boat Neck Dolman sleeve sweater and the Leopard Print skirt. Love it! Love it!❤️❤️
I love the feather trimmed pants!! Rooting for the Chiefs this weekend!
Lovely, lovely! New idea for my old leopard skirt!!
Yes, continue series
I love the series and it gives lots of good options for whatever I am doing. My favorites are the purses, especially the heart shaped and ostrich feathered ones. I am usually running late, though, and forget about changing out my purse!
I have enjoyed the series, and the many cute items you have posted. Did a big double take on your subject line this morning. Might want to rethink your abbreviation of Valentines Day LOL!
Lol! You mean on the email. Hahaha
Go Baltimore Ravens!
I LOVE series and have particularly loved the Valentines one because I’ve been having an annual Valentines party for 20+ years! Tks for showing so many wonderful clothing and accessories!
Oh my goodness…. those feather trimmed pants!! In my younger days, I would have rocked them.
Hi Tania, so many choices for Valentines. Love them all. I bought the leopard print skirt from Amazon but I sure
Did like the tulle skirt with hearts.
Don’t work to hard on the tax forms.
Happy thoughts from Arizona.

😊😊😊
I like these Valentine date night clothes.
Terrific series! Thanks for updating, inspiring, and all of your research. I’m delighted with my purchase from VD Part 1!
This has been a favorite series! I love all the Valentine’s Day options and the fact that many are for any time – – always a good thing! 🩷❤️
Hi Tania, I love the satin leopard print skirt. It would be a great addition to my wardrobe.
The red Colman sweater and animal print skirt look beautiful on you. And it came from Amazon ! And your red nail polish set it off!
Series about dressing for holidays is not my thing. The holiday comes and goes and then on to the next one. I’m sure the majority love it so keep doing what you do. I did like most of the outfits you styled. I thank you for styling the Loft T-shirt with amour written on it. I’m supposed to get it soon. I like that I can wear it after Valentine’s. I probably wouldn’t have ordered it if you hadn’t shown it. Thanks once again. Also I ordered navy wide leg pants too. You got me into navy.
Want the Ravens to win! We have a family friend who is the brother of Pat Ricard.!
Packers all the way!! Love and team got this
I rarely have any occasion to dress up, but if I did, I would have to try that animal print skirt. I don’t especially like that style sweater, but I would look for one with a closer fit in red. Does anyone else have trouble with boat neck tops falling off their shoulders? Drives me crazy!
I really liked your Valentines series. You gave us many options for all scenarios. Perhaps you would do this again for St. Patrick’s Day? ☘️
Well, since I live near Houston, Texas and am an avid fan of our Texans, I will be glued to my tv, watching what I hope will be a winning game for our beloved Texans. The past few years have been difficult, to say the least, for us and it looks like we are in a much better, positive time.
Whether we win today or not, considering where we started, we are still way beyond what anyone expected.
So my entire weekend will be spent watching the playoff games. I sincerely hope that all games are played well, with no injuries and very little penalties. Go Texans!
Love the Valentine’s Day options. I especially love the leopard skirt with three red sweater! I’ve really enjoyed this series. Go 49ers!
The leopard skirt and red sweater are stunning on you! And I love all the others!!! I truly enjoy your posts. 💕🥰
Love the series post , please continue with more, maybe black pants and white pants ideas- thank you for including casual and dressy options.
Loved this Valentine series post! Today you knocked it out of the park with the wide selection of items. The feathered pants are my favorite. You were made for this holiday! Thank you for all of the work you put into this series. Happy Valentine’s Day!
I just bought the heart shape purse and the tulle skirt. Thanks for the ideas and please continue the series. Love everything that you posted today. Have a wonderful weekend.
Go 49ers! Brock Purdy played at Iowa State University! Because of his playing years in my hometown, many locals feel like Brock is a best friend! ❤️❤️❤️🏈🏈🏈
what an awesome series!!! This post has so many cute pieces. Love the heart and feather purses!!! What great fashion statements!!! Oh and those pants are fabulous!!!. Loving the heart tulle skirt. Snowed three days this week in Baltimore. Go Ravens!!!!!!
The leopard skirt outfit is beautiful but don’t have Galentine’s or Valentine’s Day plans!
Lots of great pieces for now and later!
Loved the series and the leopard skirt!
So many beautiful pieces of clothing in this post, wow! You find the best, thank you!
I LOVED the VD series. I looked forward to each day.
It might be nice to see a series on transitional clothing between winter and spring.
Loved the red sweater and leopard skirt!
The slip dress is lovely, and you look lovely wearing it!
I appreciate your blog, you always make me smile with your stories and honesty.
Love those cute little purses. The heart and feather purses would add a pop to any outfit!
These are my favorite looks of the series!
I loved the Valentine series!! I hope you do more theme related series in the future!!!!!
I love series thank you for doing this. By the way I am a pajama girl also. So if you ever want to do a pajama series I am all for it.
I really enjoyed your valentine series, especially today’s post. You look so pretty in all the outfits. Please continue doing series. I also love your daily Outfit Inspo.
Very nice outfits. Love the leopard print skirt.
What a fun series! Could not love the fur trimmed black pants any more – trying to think of someplace I could wear them. They’d be fabulous for the holidays.
Thank you for showing skirts and dresses as my husband and I always go out for Valentines Day and I like to dress up for him
I have loved the Valentines series! Can’t believe all the great options and accessories you have found! Love them all ! Valentines Day is a sweet and happy holiday so it’s a lot of fun to celebrate!!!!
Loved your series because it was very versatile! Today’s outfits were gorgeous, wish I had places to wear them, but life is so casual most places I go. Yes, football will be on TV all weekend even though the Eagles are out of it. I enjoy watching the Chiefs. Enjoy your weekend after you get your work done!
This was a fun series, and yes, I would love to see more series! Perhaps a transition winter to spring series would be a good idea? I live in a Chicago suburb, and transitional clothing is always a big help.
I have enjoyed all your Valentine posts, Tanya. So fun and something for everyone! Great job! Love that pink suede trench coat and the heart purse. Always love CeCe. Yes, Walmart has upped their game. On Friday, I had on a cute pair of cargo jeans (back again) from Walmart and one of my students commented on them. She said the same thing, that “Walmart had upped their game”, lol. Stay warm and enjoy the football. Thanks for keeping us “over 50” updated with classics and new fads to look stylish! 🥰🙏.
I’m glad you liked the post.
Love the red heart purses & sure any increased listings wld be fine for V day
I absolutely love that leopard skirt and red sweater. I have that skirt and the sweater in navy (I bought navy for other pants). Need the red after seeing this. Love those black fringe pants too.
Love that trench coat! Walmart comes through again!
It may be 11 degrees but we would be hot in any of those outfits
Going to Greece soon. Have you tried any of the Greek beauty products from Korres or Apivita?
No, are they good?
Hi, I have used Korres. They are good products but often have a strong smell.
Wow how I love your posts. The valentines options are awesome. Hope I can get me some
Snowed/iced in at home all week, I enjoyed having the time to check in each day. thank you for all the great ideas.
Tania,
Love your outfits for a Valentine Day date night, especially the leopard slip skirt. I have one but never thought about paring it with a red sweater. Thanks for the inspiration for a new look for something already in my closet.
Heck yes, we care about football and will be cheering our Baltimore Raven’s on, today. 🏈🏈🏈🐦⬛🐦⬛🐦⬛💜💜💜
I am loving this post today… Such fun, cute, trendy clothing. You look great!
Love the feather pants!! How elegant!
I am surprised at myself because I really do like the feather pants. Something very different from my usual choices.
Tania, would you ever do a series on how you organize your closet?
What to do with all your shoes etc.
UGH! I’m purging right now and trying to get my closet organzied.
Love the series so YES do more of them…please.
I am a Baltimore native, so Ravens all the way!
Judi, I am an avid Texans fan. Praying that it is a clean game with no injuries.
Love the heart purse!
The pink CeCe’s short is my favorite. And I love any Dooney Bag. Have not seen the one you show.
Really cute outfits. Wish I could justify those feather trimmed pants!!!! lol. Have a great day!
Karen
Love the heart shaped purse. Thinking of getting one. You find the most interesting pieces.
I loved the series and would like to see more! Everything you styled every day was gorgeous! I like the fact that you had casual, plus outfits to wear out to dinner, etc. Today’s Post was great! You look so pretty in all those outfits! Keep warm this weekend!
Love the dress and trench coat. The dress has no sleeves so in February how do you keep warm.
With the trench. Lol!
Love these outfits, every one of them. I am Funaki going to buy the leopard skirt and also the red sweater! thank you… and happy Valentines Day! loved the series!
Wow….Walmart! Is the snow picture from your house? I so want it to snow in SC. Stay warm. It is very cold here too.
That was a stock photo, not at my house.
I so enjoyed the Valentine series.
Please do it again. If we were going out for dinner, it would be fun to wear the pants with the fur trim. Enjoy your Valentine’s day.
You look beautiful as always! Love these fashions too!
You look so pretty! Love the outfits and especially the heart purse, it looks fun.
Go Pack Go
All I can say is wow! you really knocked it out of the park with this posy. All the outfits are beautiful, but the red sweater with the leopard print skirt is amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Great options!
I do enjoy your series posts. Always a great variety around a theme.
