Alright, let’s be girlie for a moment. Let’s talk about the date night outfit. I have a formula for date night outfits. Yes, I can even turn a date night into a geeky formula. Don’t mock me.

What’s the formula, you ask? Well, it depends on the season. In the winter, it’s frilly, loose blouse, skinny jeans, boots, and one big piece of jewelry. In the summer, it’s frilly, loose blouse, cotton mini, wedge heels, and one big piece of jewelry.

I’m kinda loving this blouse at the Banana. This one is good, too. J. Crew always has good frilly blouses that quickly go for half-off on the clearance rack.

Nothing kills the fun on a date night faster than a blister. So, you have merge cute with functional in a shoe. These Naturalizers aren’t bad. I have Clarks Women’s Seta Purr Wedge Sandal, and they held up pretty well last summer. I do love a fun espardrille.

And then there’s the big fun jewelry. Go cheap, people. Go flashy.
