CASUAL DATE NIGHT - AN OUTFIT POST

When you have a kid, date nights are extremely rare -- and on these rare date nights, I like to dress up, just a little, to celebrate time away from parenting.


A while ago, hubby and I had a casual date night, when I wore this teal top. The top is fun and flirty, just like date with the mister.

Love this top -- so comfortable.

The shoulder likes to slide off. I guess the shirt has a mind of its own.



What do you wear on date nights?

  10. This is really cute!! I wish it wasn't so cold here so don't have to layer my clothes. For date nights I usually go casual but sometimes I wish I would dress-up in dresses. I hate to be uncomfortable. lol...

  11. I love the top, it says cute without being over-the-top. I like how the shirt takes over the outfit, and the pants and the heels are chill and plain.

  61. ohmygosh. when i have a date i feel like cher from clueless- you know the part where she made dionne take polaroids of her outfits! i am that ridiculous- my friends abuse me because i have rolling racks and a huge huge mirror. it's usually more fun getting ready! ;-) tara

  64. Love the top, it's so chic.

    I think it depends on a date what I wear. If my boyfriend and I are going to the movies, I may wear something similar to this. :)

  65. That is a fun and flirty look! I like the shoes too! Date nights are important, especially when you have kids. We don't have any of those yet, but even just our work schedules can be exhausting. Ya just have to get out there, and it never hurts to look cute like you do!

    ReplyDelete
  66. try having two kids...date nights are not rare. they are non-existent! lol.
    you look good in teal!

  70. Thanks for all your comments on my blog :) As you now I've been on hiatus but now that I'm back I can make up for lost time!! I love this look. The pointy heels and exposed bra strap add sex appeal and the skinny jeans balance out the floatiness of the top. (PS: Now following!)
