Of course we love our gal pals all year round. But as so many of our casual social outlets have withered under the duress of the pandemic, our strong relationships are the ones keeping us sane. Literally.
So we think it stands to reason that this year more than ever, the dedication of a day focused on the appreciation of our soul sisters isn’t just welcome, it’s downright essential!
That’s why here at SLH, we’re highkey for February 13th, aka Galentine’s Day. Whether you’re staying in or heading out, we’ve got fifteen outfits, in a range of vibes, you’re sure to love for this irreverent, quirky holiday that’s all about Squad Love.
