I have been asked out on a date tomorrow dinner time. He is picking me up at 1ish and we are going for something to eat.

Now I have no idea what to wear! What would you wear?

I'm a jeans and high tops kind of girl and if you saw me christening outfit thread you know I need help Grin

Leggings and a jumper dress? Jeans, smart jumper and jacket? He obviously likes you in what you wear already so if just dress how you feel comfortable and concentrate in having a nice time :-)

SPsFanjoIsAsComfyAsAOnesie · 09/02/2013 11:15

How I feel comfortable is jeans and high tops. Ok for hes taking me to McDonalds though Grin

Where are you going to eat?

What shape are you?

DancingInTheMoonlight · 09/02/2013 11:50

Plus its freezing out so that gives an excuse for warmer clothes!

FairyJen · 09/02/2013 11:53

I rather liked your purple dress...

SPsFanjoHasABlingingVajazzle · 09/02/2013 11:54

Don't know where I'm going and I'm a hourglass Id say

SPsFanjoHasABlingingVajazzle · 09/02/2013 11:56

Fairy No need to take the piss Grin

FairyJen · 09/02/2013 11:57

< innocent >

Moi?

TantrumsAndBalloons · 09/02/2013 12:27

Dominatrix outfit sp

Might as well start as you mean to go on Grin

SPsFanjoHasABlingingVajazzle · 09/02/2013 12:30

Well Fairy and Tantrums thank you for your very helpful comments. I will wear both Grin

ScentedNappyHag · 09/02/2013 13:16

For an afternoon date, I'd go with skinnies, a printed Tshirt, cardigan and some kind of ballet pump. So casual, but not scruffy Smile
Good luck! There'd best be a thread to dissect the date afterwards Wink

SPsFanjoHasABlingingVajazzle · 09/02/2013 17:05

It might end up on the worst dates thread yet Grin

Is it wrong to ask for a background check before the date? Grin

WhichIsBest · 09/02/2013 17:49

I would say skinnies, boots with smallish heels over the top, and maybe a long tight jumper rather than t shirt and cardigan, because a cardigan could hide your hourglass-ness.
But nobody has ever accused me of being fashionable. Maybe just go with the dominatrix idea.

SPsFanjoHasABlingingVajazzle · 09/02/2013 17:52

I have skinnies, heeled boots and a jumper!

Thank you all apart from tantrums and fairy Grin

SPsFanjoHasABlingingVajazzle · 09/02/2013 21:46

I'm freaking the fuck out! Help needed! Shoes I wanted to wear tomorrow I have left at a mates and its not possible to get them. All i have left are high tops, pumps and going out heels Sad

DancingInTheMoonlight · 09/02/2013 22:13

Going out heels if you can walk in them sober, pumps if not :-)

DancingInTheMoonlight · 09/02/2013 22:13

I thought the date was this afternoon?

DancingInTheMoonlight · 09/02/2013 22:14

Sorry tomorrow afternoon showing i clearly have had enough wine

SPsFanjoHasABlingingVajazzle · 09/02/2013 22:32

I've been in bath and come out all red and blotchy after using Nivea. I will have to put outfit on tonight and just put all my shoes on and stick to the best ones

So close to just cancelling

AmberNectarine · 10/02/2013 07:16

Don't cancel! I Hink you should wear high t

AmberNectarine · 10/02/2013 07:17

Argh, sausage fingers..

High tops - I believe in wearing the clothes that really represent you on a date. If he doesn't like it, he isn't worth it anyway!

FairyJen · 10/02/2013 08:09

Just a thought sp but I you wear your bondage gear he won't notice your shoes....

Heels will be fine with jeans and nice top don't cancel babe!

SPsFanjoHasABlingingVajazzle · 10/02/2013 09:26

Might get my leather cat suit on and go bare foot Grin

I think I need to invest in some in-between shoes Grin

ScentedNappyHag · 10/02/2013 10:03

Good luck SP!
And really, any shoes will be fine- pumps/hightops whatever, the rest of the outfit should dress up/down whichever pair you choose IYSWIM.
Have a great time Smile

SPsFanjoHasABlingingVajazzle · 10/02/2013 12:05

I am ready. Only took 20 mins.

Off for a fag to calm nerves.

Thank you all!

I will update later
