Nyc fashion blogger Kathleen Harper's winter date night outfit
As far as Valentine's Day looks go, there's decidedly two vibes: sweet or sexy. This is the former. Dressing up for a special night out is exhilarating, and it's vital for me to feel confident, stylish, and ultimately, like me; which is why I love this charming combo of blush, metallic, and ruffles.

The pleated skirt is one of this season's key pieces, and paired with light pink, this look is wintery yet completely on trend for spring. Playing off spring even more, I added this blush-tone floral bag — it pulls the entire look together.

While I surprisingly haven't been wearing nearly as many dresses or skirts lately as I used to, there's something about Valentine's Day (or even just date night for that matter) that has a tendency to bring out my ultra-feminine side. And with pleated metallic skirts trending hard, I couldn't resist styling one with an undeniably ladylike twist.

[sweater: Anthropologie (I also like this one) // skirt: Express (old, but I also like this one) // coat: Ann Taylor (similar style here) // boots: Steve Madden // purse: Coach (I also like this one) // earrings: & Other Stories (I also like this pair) // "Love" necklace: Tiffany & Co. // barrel necklace: Lia Sophia (old, but this is another pretty option) // lip color: Kylie Cosmetics Matte Lip Kit in "High Maintenance," similar shade by Urban Decay in "Double Team"]

I have to admit; I felt like a princess in this look. It also didn't hurt that this location totally looks like the balcony of a castle! But while this outfit is perfect for a date night or a date afternoon, it's also a great combo for an outing with your BFFs — any time of day! The best part? The pop of blush of course!
