To be honest with you, my late husband and I never celebrated Valentine’s Day. We felt every day was Valentine’s Day for us so there was really no need to fight the crowed or pay ridiculous high price for roses or dinner. We didn’t exchanged gifts either but we did have nice home cooked dinner with a bottle of wine.
For this year’s Valentine’s Day, I will be in China with my family to celebrate Chinese New Year. By the way, this year’s Chinese New Year will be on 2/16 and the color for Chinese New Year is RED too! 😉
Although I won’t be celebrating this year’s Valentine’s Day, I still can be useful by giving you some suggestions on what to wear on this special day. Especially for women who is like me, over 40.
I always prefer a chic and elegant look over a showing much skin type of sexy ones. 😉 I still feel sexy in this red midi dress without revealing much. Of course the cut is key and showing our feminine figure is a plus!
I am an old school and believe less is more. Since my dress is the focus point, everything else I wear that should be just complementing it, not competing with it. So I picked natural colored classy pieces to go with it.
What are you going to wear this Valentine’s Day?
You can read all my What To Wear series including what I have worn when I traveled around the world and for special occasions. Hope those posts will be helpful for you! 🙂

I haven’t decided that gal. Still looking for what to wear 😛
Love this dress on you! I agree spending money on overpriced dinner isn’t the best way to celebrate, though!

I will be your long distance Valentine, since my husband and I don’t celebrate that day either!! Our anniversary is February 9, so that’s enough mush mush for me!!!
Grace, this outfit is just beautiful! I love the simplicity of the dress, and your coat looks so pretty with it. Have a great time with your family, and thanks for hosting.
