| First dates are so much fun. Kudos on basically | | | | This guy sounds great--I'm so excited for you! I |
| landing your guy. Okay, so these two possible | | | | love random meeting. I'm sure you'll have a great |
| dates couldn't possibly be more opposite | | | | time. |
| fashion-wise! I'm hoping you'll know in advance | | | | You asked about where I get my fashion |
| what you'll be doing. | | | | knowledge from and I guess it's a few different |
| I'll give you a few different ideas. For a dressy | | | | things. I have always been a huge fan of "What |
| play and dinner, I personally would go with a | | | | not to Wear" and other makeover stuff, but |
| simple black pencil skirt. It is perfect for basically | | | | recently I've been working at a TV station in |
| every occasion and you won't look overdone, or | | | | Boston helping out the style producer for their |
| too casual. Some black peep-toe heels would look | | | | fashion segment. |
| great with this, or even a strappy shoe. | | | | Their's a big difference between a basketball |
| Shirt-wise, there are so many options. Call me | | | | game and the theater, but I'll give it my best shot! |
| crazy, but I'm such a huge fan of the whole | | | | You need to wear something classic and versatile |
| belted shirt. However, I'd go with a brighter shirt | | | | so I'm leaning toward nice black pants and a |
| since the skirt and shoes would be black. A nice | | | | dressiest black sweater...maybe something with a |
| plum color would be great and it's really big right | | | | low scoop neck that's fitted with long or 3/4 |
| now. A nice voluminous shirt would look cute too. | | | | length sleeves or a black sweater with a v-neck |
| A fuller skirt would work with all of these as well. | | | | wrap front. Just not something boxy! You can |
| For the more casual date, I don't think there is | | | | wear a white or yellow gold necklace...whichever |
| anything wrong with a nice pair of dark-wash | | | | matches your watch and bracelet. Pair the outfit |
| jeans with heels. A nice pair of ballet flats would | | | | with high heeled black boots and you'll be all set. |
| work too. I love a nice bold sweater. You could | | | | That's what I would do if I were faced with two |
| add some nice bold silver jewelry to pull it all | | | | such different possibilities! |
| together. If a sweater seems too hot, go for a | | | | But don't panic because this is an easy one!!! Wear |
| fitted 3/4 length top instead. | | | | high heeled brown pumps and a matching brown |
| I am a huge fan of your idea of dark wash jeans | | | | handbag. The shade of brown is up to you...can be |
| and the sweater--personally I'd go with red or | | | | dark or milk chocolate, espresso, a reddish brown, |
| another bright color. The ankle boots sound cute. | | | | etc. It will all work, but make sure your handbag |
| It's probably getting a little chilly for open-toed | | | | matches the shoes. |
| shoes anyway (I just live on the dangerous side). | | | | You can wear a great necklace since the neckline |
| Any type of heels and jeans just looks so classy | | | | is square. Wear yellow gold or natural toned |
| in my opinion. The cropped jacket sounds cute, as | | | | beads, but have the necklace be short so it lays |
| does the velvet peacoat. The jacket says "I'm | | | | on your chest above the neckline of the dress. |
| such a fun gal!" and the peacoat says "I'm fun but | | | | You can also wear a gold bracelet and watch. |
| mucho classy!" so it is up to you. Both choices | | | | Don't go overboard because the dress sounds |
| sound great. | | | | classic and your accessories should be as well! |
