A Nautical Valentine's Day | #galpallinkup

I also think that since the top is so simple, it would look great paired with a statement necklace like this one.

Excuse my dry hands... I swear by all of these winter skin tips but lately I've been forgetting

Excuse my face... this was taken while I was laughing and I just had to post it

I haven't done an outfit post in forever, and since today is the Valentine's Day edition of the #galpallinkup (hosted by Rachel, Cathleen, & Cristina) I thought I would share the Valentine's Day look I've been loving recently! I know that when many people think of a traditional Valentine's Day outfit, they most likely think of something red and pink - but this is not your traditional Valentine's Day outfit. Lately, I've been in love with nautical colors, and when I found this top at Francesca's for such a great deal, I knew exactly what I'd be wearing for Valentine's Day. The nice thing about this top is that it doesn't have to be exclusively for Valentine's Day, either - I think it would be so cute paired with white jeans and Jacks later on in the spring!

To accessorize, I added some dainty jewelry. I recently received this gorgeous monogram necklace from a giveaway, and I love how it can be paired with bigger necklaces or simply worn by itself. I also added two pieces from my latest Rocksbox: this Gorjana bracelet and this Wanderlust + Co ring. If you don't know what Rocksbox is, it's a jewelry subscription service that includes designer brands such as Kendra Scott and Loren Hope. Use my code BROOKEBFF255 for your first month free!

One last thing - I know that many fashion bloggers only do outfit posts when they're all dressed up and look perfectly put-together. That's great and all, but that's not really my style. Yes, my style is "preppy," but it's also very casual. I rarely wear an everyday outfit that doesn't involve jeans, and my Converse are my go-to shoe. If you want to see posts where I'm more dressed up, I have some of those coming up soon, but for now, I hope you've enjoyed seeing my laidback Valentine's Day look!
