Hey!
So Leila from New York wrote in with a specific Style Inspiration request!
She said, “Can you do something a bit more casual? I have a date with a guy I’ve only been seeing a few weeks. It’s Sunday night, so I don’t want to dress up. And he’s short, so no heels!”
Sure! Wear your favorite slimming dark jeans with a pair of flat black boots; show your Valentine’s Day Spirit by either rocking a fun, tongue-in-cheek t-shirt, or incorporating a low cost red jacket. Add subtle touches like red nail polish, and finish by wearing a quilted cross body clutch or your standby black tote:

Here are a few separates that should help you achieve the look.
Have fun and stay tuned for more style inspirations for every budget!

Thanks for doing this Claire! I actually have a first date that will be this Sunday and I want to be festive , but not too glammed up so this is perfect inspiration. Thanks!

Thanks Claire! You’re the best. I don’t have just this outfit, but I’ve got an idea now.
