For Valentines' Day, Bobby and I have teamed up with Hudson Jeans to give you a glimpse into our relationship and of course, our own personal style.
There's something to be said about Valentines' Day, even if it is just a manufactured holiday that boosts candy and greeting card sales: it gives Bobby and me an excuse to slow down, spend time together and maybe even go out on a real date. I was misleading you with that opening dismissal of the importance of this day, even though teenaged me - who made a statement in all black every February 14th - would be rolling her eyes right now at the mere discussion (but still enjoying all of the delicious candies). I love holidays and all of the themes that go with them - I eat that stuff up like no other - but most of the time, either Bobby is working or I am in Florida with family. We both have hectic work schedules, but we coordinate specific days or pockets of time to dedicate to one another. Valentines' Day, however, is a great excuse to spend an entire day enjoying each other's company - and Hudson Jeans made it even better by insisting that we style their jeans for a typical Bobby/Keiko date. Luckily for workaholic Bobby, I'm easy to please. Flowers are optional, gifts unnecessary, dinner reservations can be skipped for a home cooked meal (or even take out...because I don't cook). An ideal day for me is exactly as depicted here: Bobby, Miku, me. It's a low-key family affair.
That being said, I won't turn down a proper night out, if Miku wants to stay home and watch the kitties. For this particular night out, Bobby and I dined at one of our favorite restaurants. He likes to dress up but he's still a dude, so changing outfits throughout the course of one day is foreign to him. I kept the same jeans, makeup and necklaces but had to glitz it up a little bit with a sequin jacket, floral tights and a themed pair of shoes (I told you I love themes). A boyfriend, red lipstick and heart covered shoes...on Valentines' Day? Fifteen year old Keiko would be disgusted by this display of girlish nonsense. But hey, at least I'm still wearing black.
