Hi, fashionistas!
You saw my previous post about a casual Valentine’s Day look, so now here’s my formal look! Let’s get started:
For my dress, I’m wearing my polka dotted, flow-y dress. It’s romantic enough for going out, and cute enough for your loved one to notice! The beige polka dots contrast very well with the navy dress.
The pastel tights are a good change from bare legs or black tights. They’re unexpected, and that creates a little mystery which is important! They also are a romantic shade.
The clutch is simple yet has a print. Cute! It has a classic shape which compliments the dress very well, plus it’s almost the same shade as the dress itself! Win win!
These heels are what I call a neutral black. They go with almost anything! They are great paired with dark colors such as the ones in this outfit.
Dangling earrings are great, because they create the illusion of a longer, thinner face.

Beauty:
Hair in a side ponytail is cute and flirty! Hair is a key factor in choosing makeup. It means a lot!
For formal date makeup, purple eyeshadow is a great shade to use! It’s mysterious in a way your loved one can’t explain, and that’s a good thing! You also need to put a shimmery eyeshadow (cream or white) on the inner corner of your eyes and the brow bone (below your eye brow). That makes your eyes look bigger and prettier! It’s a must for me (even on a regular day)! It also makes the look a little lighter. Berry lipstick and lip liner is a great idea, too. It plays up your eyes and give you the look of a flawless face. I love it!

Thank you for reading, fashionistas! I hope you enjoyed my post and will take these tips into consideration for your big night!
Even if you don’t have a date for Valentine’s Day, just know that you are loved by the people around you! You don’t need a date to be happy. Just know that I care about all of you! 🙂
