Don’t you just love when things happen in your life and you immediately say to yourself, “this is a future post!”? I totally had this moment while having dinner this week! I thought the title of this post was kind of fun, catchy and pretty random at the same time. All which describes me on the daily! I wanted to create this simple and impromptu post just to share some ideas on how to be casual and comfy for dinner dates whether it’s with your girl-friends or with your special someone, husband, whoever. Being cute while being comfy at the same time is MAJOR KEY for me when choosing a way to pair clothing items. Once upon a time, I wanted to wear the highest heels and the tightest skirts. I would be so uncomfortable! But as I have gotten older I only want to be comfy. Can you agree?
Earlier this week, I was able to link up over dinner with one of my gal pals. She’s a charm and so was dinner at a local restaurant located in Five Points called Publico. Great location, great interior set up, and awesome food. It’s not an “upscale” place…I categorize it to be very laid back. I was aware of where we were meeting for dinner Wednesday evening so I knew that I didn’t have to go for the sexy, sultry look but more of a cute, fun and casual outfit. Although, I truly believe in the phrase, “there’s no such thing as being overdressed,” this was one of those days where I threw that completely out of the window. I didn’t really have a process of putting these simple items together but below is sort of what my thought process was for the event:
- wear a Fall color; nothing too bright
- polish nails a neutral color that can be shown well in a dim area – – white
- wear comfortable yet fashionable shoes – – based this on the weather
After considering all of these things, I came up with this outfit:
Romper: Old Navy (no longer in stock)
Boots: Target (no longer in stock)
Denim jacket: Old Navy
Purse: MK Jet set travel tote
So the takeaways from this post are:
- When in Columbia go grab a bite to eat at Publico (check out the food blog on IG – TheSouthernBellestonian – to see food deets)
- Yes, you can be cute/sexy, comfy, and still work it like there is no tomorrow in an affordable manner
- the Iphone 7+ is capable of taking some pretty cool pictures
Hope this helps you in some way now or in the future! Don’t forget to check out my IG too – – thought I’d throw that in there! *wink*
