First Online Date: What (BLEEP) Am I Going to Wear??

One of the BEST things about online dating versus 'real dating' is that you can do it in your sweat pants!
While I online date I'm usually wearing an old boyfriends flannel pj bottoms, my hair up in a greasy bun, glasses instead of contacts, and I'll be lucky if I remembered to put on deodorant...

It's easy to get away with because lets face it, the pictures online do the speaking for you. But here's the catch, no doubt the handful of pictures online were the best of the best of the best that are out there, so that means the first date there is a ton of pressure to look good. As good as you did at your best friends wedding (the half hour before you got into the vodka); or that time you looked away from the camera by accident, but it ended up being the best profile shot you of you in existence (your very own Blue Steel...).The key is to look good, but not like you tried ridiculously hard. 'Oh this old thing, I just threw it on.'

SO WHAT THE (BLEEP) AM I GOING TO WEAR ON MY DATE?!?

As I mentioned on my very first Online Date I wore a great outfit... but now that its summer, boots and jeans may be a little out of place depending on the weather. Here's some great looks that are put together, APPROPRIATE, but not like you've tried on everything in your wardrobe before you decided upon your outfit (though I highly recommend doing that... just in case)

Christian Dior: Pre-Fall 2012 Line: This is my fave look! It is the ultimate meeting up in the evening look. It's perfect. 

Bottega Veneta: Resort 2013 Collection. Beautiful for a dinner date.

Michael Kors: Pre-Fall 2012 Line. Love it for a drink in the evening. The cut is poweful, the pattern is friendly.

Band of Outsiders: Pre-Fall 2012 Line. With a vintage cut and pattern, this ain't yo' gramma's dress. Board games, drinks, a band, this dress can really do it all and its great for accessorizing.

Michael Kors: Pre-Fall 2012 Line. Yup plaid is back (did it ever leave??) Coffee at the hipster Cafe in the hipster part of town.

Valentino: Spring 2012 Line. A maxi dress with some structure. Beautiful for a picnic, lunch on a patio, going down to the waterfront. (Below) Same Spring line, but the flowiness of the dress gives it a more romantic look...

 

Calvin Klein: Pre-Fall 2012 Line. Strong lines but the cut makes the dress seem sweet - a brighter colour would be better for summer. Wear with heels for an evening look and with flats for a great lunch date.

Christian Dior: Pre Fall 2012 Line. The perfect Lunch date dress, for hopefully the perfect lunch date.
