by Sarah Bunton

With Valentine’s Day a week away, there’s little time to waste when it comes to figuring out what you’re going to wear on this special occasion. Besides, the last thing you want to be doing on Valentine's Day is stressing over what to wear. Sure, you could go the traditional route and opt for a red dress or playful pink number, but what about something a little different? This Feb. 14, step outside your comfort zone and try out some new Valentine’s Day date outfit ideas. If you’re not used to switching things up fashion-wise, this holiday is the perfect excuse to take a walk on the sexy side of style.

But, if you’re like me, your mind can’t help but always circle back around to thinking about finances. In between the money you spend on a nice dinner, seeing a romantic movie, and, if you have kids, the babysitter, you can almost hear your wallet crying already. No need to worry, though. From all over the wonderful worldwide web, there are plenty of flirty and fun fashion options that thankfully won’t break the bank. Whether you prefer pants over skirts or you just love how a dress can make you feel, check out these top Valentine's Day looks.
