Hello, hello lovelies! Happy Monday!

If you’re an early bird who likes to get the worm … you are probably really excited about today’s post! I seriously contemplated holding off on this post for another week. I thought it might be way TOO early to give y’all some Valentine’s Day outfit inspiration but, you know what? I don’t know TOO much about being early for things. I’m not early for anything very often, so I decided to just go ahead and share it! Ha!

This red dress is SO fun and flirty! Fit & flare dresses always catch my eye when I’m looking for something to wear on a special occasion. And, while this might not be the first year you’re celebrating with your Valentine, or you’re thinking this holiday is overrated, or life is too crazy right now to set aside some time to dedicate to your significant other … or whatever it is that is trying to tell you not to make much of this holiday … I want to remind you that your love is special and should be celebrated! So, maybe it’s a good thing this post is coming to you a little early!

Consider it a reminder for you to take a second and think of how you can make this a year you get out there and celebrate each other. Don’t put all the pressure on your man, either! The media encourages women to believe that this holiday is all about US getting spoiled. BUT … turn it around! Make sure your significant other feels loved and celebrated, as well. What can you do to make him/her feel special? 

And if, like me, you are celebrating this holiday solo, be sure to keep your chin up and be the leader in your group of single girl friends! Put some plans together and make it fun! Maybe rent a car stocked with champagne to take all of you to a fancy dinner! Get dressed up and cheers to the best being yet to come! 🙂

If you’re looking for something festive to wear for the holiday, be sure to check out these options:

As I’ve mentioned before, I am dedicated to being intentional about the New Year’s resolutions that I set for myself this year. One of them was to be better about planning out content way ahead of time, which will really help me to give y’all more diverse content. Y’all ask me for home tours, travel guides, recipes, product reviews, etc. and I haven’t had a way to organize and plan out those posts until now. I shared the program that has been a game changer for me last night on Snapchat. With that said, I want to know more about what keeps you coming back to Sequins & Things! What are your favorite posts to see from me? What would you like to see more of? What does your budget look like for handbags and clothes? What are some pieces of constructive criticism do you think you could share that will help improve Sequins & Things? I want to know!

If you could … please head HERE to take a survey to give me your two cents!

Thanks for stopping by today, y’all! I hope you all have a great start to your week! Can you believe we only have a week-ish left of January??? xo.

      Make a reservation somewhere nice and tell your girlfriends that you’re celebrating being single! Believe me, there are days where I curse these single days but, honestly, one day we’ll likely look back and miss when life’s decisions only affected one person. 🙂

    This is so pretty! I love Fit and Flare dresses too – they are so flattering. I’m going to take your survey but just thought I’d mention that even when you do an outfit post – you still have a lot to share about what’s going on in your life – and I really appreciate it. You care about connecting with us!

      Hey Stephanie! I don’t know how to NOT talk to y’all in my posts. It’s weird to just write a sentence of two! Not that it’s bad if other bloggers do. That’s just weird for me, personally. To each their own 🙂 I’m glad you enjoy my long rambles hah!

    Such a classic look, perfect for Valentine’s! I love that you mentioned how it can be easy to forget that this holiday is much more than a reason for us to be spoiled and that it should be celebrated by both sides more equally 🙂 This year I plan (more like attempt) to make dinner for my boy and I at home because I’ll definitely be a little more intimate & will help us save a little bit of money haha. For colder regions what type of Valentine’s day outfit would you suggest?
