How to find the perfect Valentines Day outfit
Where are you going? There’s no point picking out the perfect cocktail dress and stilettos if you and your date are snuggling up to an outdoor cinema.
What can you afford? Sure, everyone wants to look their best on Valentine’s Day, but your budget might determine if you’re shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue or The Iconic. Don’t spend all your money on a dress, if that means you have to order salad and tap water when you go out.
What does your date like? Look, we’re not saying dress only to please your date. We’re just saying it might not be the moment to experiment with crazy hair colours and a dress so bonkers even Nicki Minaj would think twice.
Will you be eating for Australia? People love food. People equate food with love. My point is, there’s a decent chance you’ll be eating a feast come Valentine’s Day, and if you do, you’ll be thankful you went with the loose-flowing dress instead of the stomach-sucking bodycon one.
Will you be getting lucky? Just kidding… sort of. Look, no one wants to be the girl catching the bus at 10am the next morning in the little black dress from the night before.
