Valentine’s Date Night Outfit + Date Ideas

Sweater | Jeggings | Shoes (Similar) Much Cheaper Similar | Bag

Valentine’s Day is coming! Do you have plans?? We’re pretty low-key in our house, so we usually stay in, make dinner, and watch a movie–especially if it’s a weeknight. Then we plan to do something a little out of the ordinary a few days later to avoid the crowds.

Whatever we end up doing, we keep it casual. So this adorable red sweater is PERFECT for a Valentine’s date night with the hubbs. I threw it over a pair of dark wash jeggings, added fun shoes and this ADORABLE white circle bag. Seriously, how cute is this?? I promise you will see this bag several times on the blog. Fun fact: it’s only $54.

So where am I wearing this casual yet adorable Valentine’s look? Well that’s where the second part of this post comes in. How about a list of fun date night ideas? We haven’t picked one yet, but hopefully this list will inspire me too!

  1. Go to the drive-in (or make your own if you don’t have one in your town).
  2. Make a fort and watch your favorite childhood movies.
  3. Drive out of the city so you can see the stars
  4. Plan your next vacation.
  5. Go to a new restaurant.
  6. Visit your favorite restaurant. (Hello Tijuana Garage. I miss you.)
  7. Have a dance party.
  8. Try something new–for us I really want to go to Bad Axe Throwing in Atlanta.
  9. Make s’mores on your stove.
  10. Hike (insert mountain closest to you here).
  11. Do a project together.
  12. Take up a new hobby.
  13. Bake cookies.
  14. Go to (insert restaurant you really want to try and haven’t yet.)
  15. Try a new brand/flavor of wine/beer.
  16. Have a chopped cooking competition.
  17. Do a local touristy thing
  18. Go to a brewery.
  19. Take a day trip to (or insert your college town/town where you met here) and go to your favorite restaurants.
  20. Have a progressive dinner- drinks and appetizers at one restaurant, dinner at another and dessert at another.
  21. Have a board game night. (P.S. This is our new thing while we watch tv and it’s so fun.)
  22. Have a Chrome cast game night. (Did you know you can play games on Chrome Cast?? They’re fun too!)
  23. Have a late night living room fondue picnic. (Not advisable if you have fur-babies)
  24. Take a cooking class. We did this over the summer and had SO much fun.
  25. Do each other’s favorite things–even if you don’t love it. It’s nice to show interest in each other’s passions.

What are you doing for Valentine’s Day?? Any big plans?
