Roses are red, violets are blue....

And the prize for most cliché title goes to...?

Thought I won't apologise, I think a good dose of cheesiness is pretty appropriate for this time of year.

Picking the perfect outfit for Valentine's Day can be pretty stressful; too casual and you look like you don't care, but equally, there's a risk of wearing an outfit that can seem a bit too 'GET-DOWN-ON-ONE-KNEE'. In order to help you through this tricky task, I have gathered a few items from across the Internet which I think could serve as inspiration for the day

Dolled Up for Dinner

If you're lucky enough to be going out for a fancy dinner on this Valentine's Day, then definitely consider using it as an excuse to dress up. Whether it's Wagamama's or Nobu, a dinner date gives you the opportunity to dress a little more glamorously than you normally would. I'm obsessed with lace cut outs and embellishment so the H&M dress and first ASOS dresses are b-e-a-utiful! On the other hand, the floral skater dress just screams out 'Mad Men chic' and manages to look both demure and sexy (quite the feat!)

River Island White Jeans  New Look Heart Blouse  River Island Mint Blouse

If your plans are a little bit more chilled, here's an offering or two. White jeans aren't to everyone's taste but I think that they make a nice change from dark denim and make outfits look that little bit more sophisticated! The embellished mint blouse would be ideal for a variety of dates; whether it's a visit to an art gallery or a quick trip to the cinema. The New Look heart blouse gives a subtle (or not so subtle) nod to the theme of the day and also manages to make the outfit seem a little bit more casual.

Now for all my fellow singletons, don't worry- I haven't forgotten you! To counter the tide of heart-shaped chocolates and rose bouquets that will no doubt flood our Instagrams, my next post will be dedicated to 'Girls' Night Out' outfits! 

And remember, 'Those who fly solo, have the strongest wings'. Okay... maybe let's forget the inspirational quotes, eh.
