The Savvy Stylist: Valentine's Day Date

I am hoping you can help me out! Valentine's Day is coming up in a few weeks and this will be my first with a boyfriend! We have plans to go out to dinner and since we're both in law school and extremely busy, it'll be a nice change of pace for us to go out somewhere without our books. The restaurant will be a little more upscale, but not excessively fancy. I'm 23, so I want to keep the look young, but also classy and a bit more sophisticated than what I normally wear (jeans, leggings, anything comfy for a day of studying). We live in Michigan, so I need to keep cold weather (ice, snow, and temperatures below freezing) in mind and in addition, I'm comfortable showing off my legs and chest, but not as comfortable with anything too tight around my belly. I'm really hoping you can help me out!

This look is festive and romantic but still comfortable and fairly casual. It costs $98.99.
