What she's wearing:
Dress: Ali Ro (Gilt.com – see invite on her blog)
Shoes: Calvin Klein (Bloomingdales)
Earrings: Vintage (stolen from her mom)
Bag: Deux Lux (Urban Outfitters)
Why it's her perfect first date outfit:
"There's one thing I know about first dates and that is that they are awkward and uncomfortable so I think it's best to wear something that is the exact opposite of that. You don't want to be yanking a strapless top up or adjusting a belt or making sure a skirt is in place. You want to be able to focus your attention on your date and not yourself. Speaking of your date, most boys/men aren't necessarily into fashion. They like it clean and simple and pretty and sexy. I think this is the perfect first date outfit because while the dress is sexy it doesn't scream "I'm open for business!" ...if ya know what I mean. If you're going to show some leg, keep the cleavage at bay - and vice versa. You don't want to give away the farm, so to speak, all on the first date. You want him to want more ...if you like him, that is."

What she's wearing:
Jacket: Vintage and from a thrift store
Tank: Target
Skirt: Target
Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters
Shoes: Simply Vera by Vera Wang (Kohl's)
Why it's her perfect first date outfit:
"On a first date I want to feel confident, cute, girly and tall. But most importantly I want to feel like myself, which is why this outfit is a perfect first date look. To avoid being too sexy, I like to pick between showing more arms/collarbone and some legs. I like the playfulness of this skirt and how it lets the jacket really shine. The colors, beading and cut of the jacket all send a message to my date that I'm easygoing and ready to have fun. This outfit also works for the office (with flats) and moves easily into cocktail hour."
