Whether you’re planning for a big Valentine’s Date Night or a simple Galentine’s Dinner, chances are you’re overthinking what to wear next week.  It’s easy to overdo the reds and pinks on Valentine’s Day, so I like to turn to a staple– the Little Black Skater Dress.  Too many times I’ve purchased a little red dress for a special date night only to then let it collect dust in my closet… a problem I’ve never had with an LBD.

With flowy fabric and a strategically placed peephole this dress is a little sweet and a little sexy, which is exactly what I think Valentine’s Day should be about.  I threw in a red clutch for a touch of romance and kept the beauty aspect clean with a copper eyelid, tousled curls, and a soft nude lip.  A red lip is a classic and can be tempting to add, but isn’t always kissable.

This Skater Dress from Tobi also comes in a sweet shade of blush and a light pastel green, but you know I’d choose black 9/10 times if given a choice.
