Easy & Affordable Valentine’s Day Dresses

The season of LOVE is upon us and I’m excited to share with you a few easy and affordable Valentine’s day looks! I’ve compiled a few of my favorite dresses and styled them with fun accessories to create some festive outfits for you. My focus was to find options that would be good closet staples rather than just one time wear pieces. I think all of the dresses below are suitable for multiple occasions and would definitely be options for more regular use. I want to add a full disclaimer here though, unfortunately, red is just not my color, so I’m going with dark magentas and hot pinks in this post. 🙂

1.) Velvet Sheath Cocktail Dress
This dress has a great look and fit with ruching at the waist. I love the deep wine color and it’s actually pretty warm if you’re celebrating Valentine’s day in a colder climate. I paired it here with some strappy heels, two gold necklaces, and a coordinating, YSL clutch/woc. This dress is currently on sale at Nordstrom for $70.80. I’ve linked the exact dress and handbag, as well as similar shoes and jewelry below.

2.) Short Sleeve Zip Back Velvet Dress
Ok, this is not my typical style, but it was only $12.50 (!), so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have this super fun dress in my closet. This dress is something I would probably wear on a girl’s night out or Galentine’s day outing! I did a high-low combo here pairing this extremely affordable dress with Gucci tights and a Gucci handbag, Leith suede booties, and a Chanel necklace to top it all off! I really love the fun fuchsia color of this dress – it’s so festive; I definitely think it lends itself well to Valentine’s day! I’ve linked similar handbag, bootie and necklace options below.

3.) Leith Ruched Long Sleeve Dress
Everyone’s favorite Leith dress is on super sale right now for just $23.60! I love this festive pink/purple/magenta color. It’s perfect for a date night out and obviously, Valentine’s day! I styled this super affordable dress with a Valentino handbag, gold layered necklaces, and my pumps are Valentino dupes! I don’t think you would assume my shoes are dupes, and they show well next to my authentic handbag, so it’s a perfect way to pair high end and low end versions together.

4.) Eliza J Turtleneck Sweater Dress
I really love this fit and flare sweater dress! It’s something that you can wear for Valentine’s day and any other day! It is a very versatile piece, it can be dressed up with heels and accessories, or cute and relaxed in flats; it really is suitable for just about any occasion! Again, this wine, almost bordeaux color, is one of my favorites, especially in the darker fall/winter months. I put this look together with a single drop pendant necklace, Leith suede booties, and my favorite Valentino Rockstud Envelope Clutch, which I think keeps it edgy and fun.
