What Should I Wear!?: The Big Date Debate

     The first thought on anyone's mind when asked on a date is usually: 'What should I wear???'. It's the major issue when it comes to a date, even if it's not the first date. I received a request for this one, so I'll give some tips and some outfits for all you clueless gals.

-You must look presentable. Let there be some effort put into your outfit(even if your date doesn't).
-You should look slightly dressed up, but not too much.
-Wear something you feel confident in.
 -Also something comfortable.
 -Nothing racy, over-confident...skanky. Yes, you want eyes on you, but your date's eyes; not the creeps or pigs around you.
-Be clean, wear your hair nice, put on some makeup.
 -You can still be yourself. Dress for yourself.

Day:
Weather you're going to a cafe, lunch, walking through a park or city, the movies, ice skating, etc. I'm gonna base this off of fall/winter since that's what's in season right now.
1.) Throw on one of your favorite pairs of jeans. You could also wear a simple skirt.

Jeggings are comfortable and simple. You could wear any jeans you want, just feel good in what you're wearing. This pair found at http://www.forever21.com where any pair of jeans is under $30. 

A super simple and comfortable skirt in a cute color and pleats is great.(Also forever21.com) You can pair it with some snazzy tights. Which you can find almost anywhere, I found some great pairs at JC Penny's:

   2.) Wear a simple shirt(see the theme here is simplicity, just for you) or a sweater.

This kind of a long-sleeved tee can go with jeans or a skirt and it's easy to match. This shirt also comes in black, white, purple, white w/black stripes, and black w/white stripes and it's only $12.95 at http://www.hm.com. You can then add a cute knit scarf. You can probably find one in the midst of your closet of winter coats or this one is from http://shop.pacsun.com/

A raglan shirt or cropped top is good too, comfortable. There are so many different cropped tops, haccis, raglans, and poncho shirts at http://www.charlotterusse.com/. 

Button down shirts like a flannel or even a plain button down are perfect too. If you have a khaki or corduroy skirt the flannel can match. These shirts found at americaneagle.com.

 3.) Shoes! This can be quite the dilemma. Do not wear heels. Definitely not on a casual daytime date!Your feet will hurt and you could end up walking taller amongside your date. Instead go for comfy. 

BOOTS BOOTS BOOTS... sorry it's kind of exciting when you see super cute boots you want. Everyone asks me about my own pair that look like these>>>
Boots are pretty much perfect for a date. They're comfortable and just plain cute. Each of these found at jcpenny.com for under $40. Most of these also come in black too.

You could also wear a pair of flats, casual sneakers, or oxfords.

For fancy dancy dinners or whatever you feel qualifies.No pants. Blah. I feel like if I told you to wear pants, I could see this uncomfortable dorky looking girl in her black work pants sitting down to dinner with a guy who's face says oh dear. So strictly skirts and dresses. Snazzy tights work well with both...obviously. Now you don't need to stress out and be way fancy. I'm not talking like homecoming dresses don't worry.

Some skirts too:

 All of these from forever21.com. Then you can add a pair of heels(don't be daring and try anything above 3 inches, you want to be comfortable not dying) and add a cardigan or a blazer. Remember to be simple and be yourself. And good luck too!
