Knowing what to wear on a date is half the battle. Why? Because if you feel good and comfortable in what you’re wearing, it can only make the night go as smooth as the butter you’ll be spreading on your dinner roll whether you hit it off or decide they’re just not right for you.
1. Flirty and fun. Wearing something relatively short? Apply the age old rule of covering your cleavage.
|
| My top &skirt(actually shorts)-H&M, Black Patent clutch- TJ Maxx, heels- Jessica Simpson |
2. Blue Suede Shoes: I normally wear 4 or 5 inch heels. On a first date, use discretion. Nothing is worse than falling, slipping, tripping, or being awkwardly tall on a first date.
3. Fall ’11. It’s been the warmest week in months here in San Francisco. I’d definitely wear this on a night out. Pleated skirts are one of my favorite trends right now. Polka dots are back and fun too.
4. For added touch of glamour, if your hair or hair extensions are long enough pull all of your hair to one side. It adds a bit of old Hollywood.
5. Most importantly: Be yourself and have fun

| Makeup tip- When I go out and want to make my eyes more dramatic I use Salon Perfect Lashes If you want a more natural look I prefer #53. They are super affordable and easy to apply |
Avoid a Dating Disaster: (Men & Women) What I mean by this is to watch for signs, clues and sloppiness on a FIRST date so you know that dating this person more than once might be a BAD move.
1. Cell phone mood killers: If your date checks his or her phone more than twice at the dinner table on a date (even if they just need to “check the time”) it’s rude.
2. EX-FILES: On a first date, if someone talks about their ex more than twice and it’s the same ex they are probably either still seeing them, missing them or thinking about them too much for comfort.
3. ”Blah, Blah, Blah“: If your date talks NONSTOP about themself, doesn’t ask you questions or doesn’t listen when you answer, CUT it off fast. They probably won’t even notice because they’re so self-consumed.
I like your photos, they are very nice
What a beautiful outfit! I love the softness of the color and the texture, and then the contrasting pop of the bright blue shoes.
Thanks for the comment!Cool outfit,I love the blouse!I have a fashionblog also

omg dale! awesome tips! haha! love the pleated skirt!
http://ieatyogurtforbreakfast.blogspot.com/
what a coincidence… i just posted a new post earlier today because yesterday was (our) first date anniversary! but i wasn’t dressed this cute on our first date 7 years ago! haha
love the outfit though. super adorbs! i love the pleats! is it a recent purchase from h&M?? i have got to get one!
& if you don’t mind me asking, where were these taken? i really love the vines with the brick walls.
any date deal-breaker for me is… the cell phone. it’s rude to: look at it, answer it, text on it or whatever it is! if you’re on a date, pay attention to your date! text/talk to your friends on your own time or have the courtesy to excuse yourself to the bathroom if it’s important. yah know?

Excellent tips for those in the “Dating Game” – your blouse is so pretty and I adore the colour of those heels. Enjoy the weekend.
Great tips! And yep, the age-old rule is a must to follow haha Love those blue suede shoes!

Great post, especially the tip about the heels! I wrote a funny date-wear article for a magazine a few years ago, it was great fun but also offered similar advice. The best thing you can do is always to be yourself

u’re really pretty! love your look
First of all, cute outfit! That would def get you a second date! And great idea about comfy shoes.
Dealbreakers are guys who don’t at least offer to pay the bill (I once had a guy who made me pay…on my birthday…and he was my boyfriend!) Oh, sloppy eating habits and worst of all…boring or no conversation also does a guy in!
Great tips! I very much love the blouse and the shoes are very cute!
I especially love their color:D
Ahaha.. I love the idea of this post! And extremely cute outfit indeed. I just regret my hair are not long enough to put them on one side as you suggest.. quite sexy indeed!

If I were getting out to date, I’d be sooo guilty of the cellphone rule.
Love your outfit though. The white pleated skirt is very lovely. I want to feel confident in a white skirt that isn’t see through!

I love this outfit, the polka dot sheer blouse and the skirt look great together. The blue cobalt shoes are beautiful as well! Hmmm first date dealbreaker, a guy who is boring and makes me want to cut the evening short before the wine was brought to the table
Those are some great tips…and I really love the outfit you put together. I think the pop of blue is such a nice touch.
I think that is all good advice except i would say wear a skirt below the knee. You look so cute . I am loving the fortuny pleated skirts, too.
Love from Oregon USA,
