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