OT--Date Prep--New Dress

After work tonight I headed up to my favorite store in Minnetonka, The Clothe Mentor, and found a super cute J.Jill dress for $20.  Then I went to Target and picked up a slip and sweater and looked for shoes, but I am still on the quest for some cute ones that will go well with the outfit.  After that I went to the salon attached to the little strip mall and got my eybrows touched up and pedicure I would have gotten a manicure too, but we ran out of time!  So, below is a picture of the outfit I plan to wear on my date Wednesday night sans the shoes.  Tomorrow there is a trip to Payless on the itinerary and hopefully I will find something there since that is where I have gotten most of my shoes recently.  I am still trying to figure out how to do my hair, but I am thinking up since I also got a pair of cute little earrings (I haven't worn any in years).  Let me know what you think!

Nicole, I'm diggin' the dress. Strappy sandals are in order, though. Not too high of a heel, but something strappy to bring out the sex appeal in that dress.

Hair = leave it down. Go more for the dry look. Let it dry naturally and then use some mousse and scrunch at the ends, or twist with your fingers to define the curls. Or, if you feel you must pull it back, just do a little, like more from the center of your eyebrows vs. from the temples. And wear the earrings either way! Is the dress sleeveless? I'm not totally diggin' the sweater but only 'cuz it's summer, but we've all got our comfort zone so if this helps with that, then go for it. Handbag, what color is the handbag? You've got awesome legs, Nicole! Way to show 'em off!!! YGG! Have fun!!! I'm so excited for you.

Amy~Thanks I saw the dress and knew immediatly that, that was what I was looking for.  Yes, I agree about the strappy sandals, now to find some that are cute and match!  I like your suggestions on the hair I will give that a try and hopefully it will all workout!  Oh, my hand bag is a light brown with dark brown strap.  Unfortunately I do not have a very large selection of hand bags, but I am slowly working on it!  Thanks for the complement on my legs I think I work on them the most with all of the running, walking and yoga I do!

Very cute! Let me know how the date goes!!! hugs, Lori

Thanks Lori!  I will post a report either Wednesday night or Thursday morning!

Very cute!  and yeah... pretty little sandals!!  Put up pics of the final look!! *excited hugs*

Sounds great!  Hopefully tomorrow I will have time to put it all together and can take a pic to post, otherwise I will take one before I go out!

Very cute!!!!! I agree with Amy about the sweater.. but if you are more comfortable that way... go for it. Now, just don't be surprised if he shows up in shorts or something like that... my first one, I was dressed to the nines.. he was in shorts. Go figure....

Keep us posted.

p.s. ya, you have to weed out the thorns to find the roses.

You know I was just thinking about that...him being in shorts, but I don't mind because now I really enjoy dressing up and looking cute!  I am torn on the sweater..I really don't like my bat wings which is why I chose to add the sweater in the first place.  I think it may come down to how I am feeling on Wenesday night.

Hey dressing up and being noticed is the best part of this whole thing.... thats why I dressed last wednesday. As far as bat wings go.....see how you feel weds.
