Flat. Definitely.

Why not that outfit but with the trainers?
If the weather near you has been remotely like what it's been by me today sandals would leave you with cold, wet, muddy feet.

I'd go wedged. You look great. Enjoy your date!!

NameChange84 · 05/06/2020 14:15

You look great!

And remember - he's going in a date with you not with us Grin You've met him before so presumably he likes your style or he wouldn't have agreed on a date!

NameChange84 · 05/06/2020 14:22

@BizarreBizarre you look gorgeous!

Have a great date xxx

SamanthaStripyPants · 05/06/2020 14:27

Great choice on the outfit. I loved the sparkly shoes but think they would be too much. You look perfect! break a leg.

Addler · 05/06/2020 14:34

You look great! Hope you have a lovely time

CormoranStrike · 05/06/2020 14:40

You look fab

AgileMadness · 05/06/2020 14:44

You look lovely OP.
Go and enjoy yourself.

PunishmentSnart · 05/06/2020 16:57

I like the final outfit Grin

Breathmiller · 05/06/2020 17:16

You look lovely. I hope you have a great time.

friendlyflicka · 05/06/2020 19:04

Why can't you look like you put in effort for a walk in the park? I don't think it is anything to be ashamed about. I always think about looking nice when I meet someone, male or female. I just like clothes and makeup. I think the OP looks lovely but I also don't think there is anything wrong with looking like you have made an effort.

NameChange84 · 05/06/2020 19:08

@friendlyflicka I agree with you completely!

friendlyflicka · 05/06/2020 19:25

@NameChange84, I am so glad. I didn't want to be controversial at all. But I also don't think being the kind of person who likes attention to detail is anything to disguise...

SteveTheSpiderPlantKiller · 05/06/2020 19:33

@ActuallyItsEugene its about making a good first impression on a date with someone she presumably likes?

If someone turned up to a date with me and looked like they couldn't be bothered then I would think they weren't that bothered.

OP final outfit looks great and you will knock his socks off I am sure. Have a fantastic time!!

goingtotown · 05/06/2020 19:36

Lovely outfit for lunch/dinner. If it’s the park you’ll be walking quite a bit so more casual.

TheTiaraManager · 05/06/2020 21:45

How did it go?

NameChange84 · 05/06/2020 22:57

Please let us know how your date went!

HollowTalk · 05/06/2020 23:00

Are you still in the park, OP?

ActuallyItsEugene · 05/06/2020 23:51

@SteveTheSpiderPlantKiller Where's the line then?

Why is an outfit such as jeans, a nice top, clean casual (non athletic) trainers, leather jacket... not acceptable for a walk around a park?
It's literally a park. Why would that make you think someone isn't making an effort?

You can do all sorts with hair, makeup and accessories to dress outfits up as necessary.
