After binge-watching Parks and Recreation last spring, I fell in love with the idea of Galentine’s Day, a holiday created by the fab Leslie Knope with the sole purpose of celebrating girl friends on February 13th. Fictional or not, Galentine’s Day is an awesome idea; we all have those great gal pals that we (probably and guiltily) take for granted, so what better way to show your love for your friends?
While the lovely Katarina has posted an amazingly helpful guide to the day, I’m here to give you four outfit ideas for what should be a national holiday. And the best part? All of the outfits are under $100, so you still have a little wiggle room in your budget for celebrating!
