Examples

“I do find⟳ Valentine's Day slightly irritating, however, in the sense⟳ that single people seem encouraged to be depressed and couples jubilant. It is possible to be in a shitty relationship and to be happily by yourself. OK, those for whom the former is applicable may get⟳ to do Valentinesy things, but they've got to stick⟳ the rest⟳ of the year together.”

“Sela Ward’s thick red scarf, dirty gloves and brass bell — the traditional costume of the medieval leper — missed the mark⟳ at the 2003 Golden Globes. But don’t tell⟳ her that: ‘It’s fun and festive and Valentinesy and red,’ the former Once and Again star told Portable Altamont.”

“I'm showcasing a few of their more Valentinesy pieces because, well, it's February.”

“Flora pulled on a pair of her favorite jeans, choosing a long-sleeve, pink-hearted shirt over the black turtleneck she really wanted to wear⟳. Wrapping a yellow scarf around her neck, she stepped into her Wellies. She was not feeling very Valentinesy.”

“But I preferred jeans over my church dresses, and I’d worn my favorite pale-pink thermal shirt, which I had reasoned was sorta Valentinesy.”
