I love Valentine's Day. One of the reasons I love it (probably the biggest reason I love it) is that it gives me an excuse to dress up. And dress up I did. I am a huge girly girl and months ago I spotted this skirt -- this gold sequin skirt and I knew I had to have it. The problem was - I had no where to wear it to. My weeks are spent in work wear attire of suits and slacks -- definitely not a sequin skirt to work. My weekends are spent in jeans and sweats. And the hubby is not one who likes to dress up for going out. So here I was, with this wonderful skirt in my closet just starring at me for months. And FINALLY, Valentine's Day had come and we had reservations to go out to a fancy restaurant the weekend after Valentine's Day and I knew the day of the skirt had come. I was super pumped if you had not figured that out yet.
This was the hubby and my 8th Valentine's Day together since we started dating (9th if you count the Valentine's Day the month before we were officially dating where the hubby (then just a boy) showed up at my door with a home made Valentine's Day card and a mix cd -- oh the days where courtship included a mix cd).
We had a fun evening out together - even if the hubby didn't enjoy getting dressed up - but I had a wonderful time getting all dolled up. The food was fantastic and the evening was a nice break from the normal routine.
And I know you have been waiting to see the skirt -- so here are a few pictures from the evening...
