Depending on how you feel about Valentine’s Day, February 14 is either the most romantic day of the year or the absolute cheesiest. But if you didn't know, February 13th is reserved for Galentine’s Day, and I think we can all agree that *that* day is so much better. A day dedicated to spending time with your besties and spoiling them with cute gifts, this holiday is less about serious romance and more about fun friendship. Like come on, how cute is that? And whether you decide to host a cozy V-Day party for your friends at your home or plan a night out, you'll need something to wear.
