The hubs has already started making some Valentine plans. I’m not supposed to know this, but he’s not very sneaky. He spent several hours this weekend bent over his computer, and every time I came near to give him a kiss or bring him a snack, he’d quickly click out of whatever window he happened to be viewing, with a sheepish little grin.

Okay, so I know that could mean a number of naughty things, but when I finally did ask what he was up to, he replied with “it’s a surprise.” That means I’ll be needing a fab outfit for whatever he has planned. Perhaps something in the day’s signature red. I know it’s cliche, but so is the holiday, so why not embrace it? You can showcase a stunning red dress as your outfit’s main course, or as a side dish with shoes and/or jewels. Here are some suggestions, to fit any budget.
