Friday's Fancies::Date Night

Just in case you missed my post over at Studio Swoon awhile back, I thought I would share what I put together with you today for Friday's Fancies since it goes right along with the Date Night theme.  Whether you're going out on a first date, an anniversary date, or just a fun night out with the ladies, this is my go-to ensemble.


Blouse:  Sleeveless, short sleeve, or long sleeve, you can't go wrong with a beautiful blouse.  Tuck it in and pair it with a cute belt or wear it long.

Skinny jeans: black, coral, green, I really don't care the color.  Find a pair and color YOU feel comfortable in.  This clearly won't be the same for all of us lovely ladies.  While I am loving the colored denim trend, I personally stick to black and add color with other pieces in my outfit.  Again, that's me.  If you love the color, wear it and pair it with black or nude pumps. Or do some color blocking of your own with the jeans + heels.

Accessories: the heels, clutch, and jewelry are your way to show some more of your personality.  This is where I like to bring color into my outfits and some statement jewelry.

Make it fun! You should leave the house feeling great and confident! Don't try to make a trend fit you if it doesn't feel right. I've said this before, and I'll say it again: floral pants just aren't happening for me, and I'm 110% okay with that. Don't feel great in bold heels? Then don't wear them! I still adore my black and neutral heels wholeheartedly.  Add some color through your blouse instead!

Cheers to each and every one of you, and enjoy your date nights!
