Getting ready for date night can be so tricky. Do you show off all your bits and pieces in your sexiest freakum dress (a lá Carrie Bradshaw’s infamous naked dress) and risk the appearance of dangerously high thirst levels?  Do you play it safe - and maybe a little boring - and keep it super casual?  Or do you search for that middle ground and wear basically the same stuff you’d wear to work... or school... or the library... or the grocery store....

Well, I’m here to tell you that there is a formula for the perfect date night fit. There are three simple rules I follow to make sure that no matter how many times we’ve gone out before, my babe is always stunned at my fab. So, without any further ado: 

Rule Number 1:  Put Your Best Foot Forward

Never underestimate the power of a fabulous shoe. Whether you are going to a gala in an expensive gown or just grabbing dinner and a movie, a gorgeous heel will elevate the look and elongate your lines. A beautiful shoe is like the paprika on a deviled egg; it’s that extra sprinkle of something-something that finishes everything off!

Rule Number 2: Show Some Skin

When it comes to date night, a little skin is always in. However, I have found that areas like cleavage and midriffs have been a little overplayed. Unless it’s extreme cleavage, people don’t even blink at boobs anymore. But a hint of skin in an unlikely place can go a long way. Uncovering just one shoulder, exposing a little bit of back, or leaving out a little thigh between the hem of your mini skirt and the top of your thigh high boots will draw your partner’s attention... and keep it.  

Rule 3: Denim Always Does It

Unless your date night is a formal affair, I always build my date night look around an article of denim clothing. Why? Because denim can do it all!  Denim can be effortless, unusual, fabulous and extra all at once. Whether it’s a denim jacket or a pair of distressed jeans, building your look around a piece of denim clothing will give you that absolutely effortless, casual/fabulous without even trying vibe that will make sure your boo only has eyes for you!

So there you have it!  My three rules for a perfect date night outfit: denim, heels, and a little skin.  if you stick to this formula, you will find that looking fabulous on any date will be an absolute breeze. 

Stay Fabulous! 💋
