I have a date tomorrow night - going for a nice meal then some drinks afterwards. The problem is im 22 and honestly haven't been on a date in nearly a year as I just wanted to have my own time. I've asked my mum for her advice on what to wear but I'm still not hundred percent. I want to feel pretty and look good and not out of place or over done. I'm a size 8, 5'6 and slim build.

I have this black dress

or this bodysuit with a pair of dark berry/purple trousers

but I'm just not sure.

I think you'll look amazing in the dress

Lbdflowers · 11/05/2018 20:57

Do you think if I paired it with a brown suede jacket it’d make it look more casual but not like super casual ?

Hmm, I'm not sure about brown and black myself .. do you have any other jackets?

Shoes might make a difference .. go for something chunky to make it more casual

Dress is fine.

I dont like the dress I think its a bit try hard, sorry :/
The bodysuit is ok, i would wear with leather jacket.

christmashope · 11/05/2018 21:17

I like the bodysuit

hampsteadholly · 11/05/2018 21:22

The dress is lovely but I agree it's a bit too try hard.

Mayhemmumma · 11/05/2018 21:24

I think the 2nd option , you'll probably feel more confident in it and it's very pretty.

Lbdflowers · 11/05/2018 21:29

I don’t think the jacket would work with the plum trousers. The only other thing is if I wear jeans and maybe high knee boots but I don’t want to look like I’ve not bothered I guess

Do you have any ankle boots? Personally i would wear with jeans with the hems rolled up slightly, ankle boots and leather jacket.

What jacket were you going to wear with plum trousers?

Lbdflowers · 11/05/2018 21:38

I have a little jacket which is a pink colour that matches the embroidery on the bodysuit, I guess I’m just nervous and want to make an effort and look good

That sounds nice! Do you have anything else that might work with the bodysuit? Because im worried plum trousers plus pink bodysuit plus pink jacket will look a bit too pinky/purple all over you know?

Also what shoe options do you have other than knee boots?

Lbdflowers · 11/05/2018 21:42

I’ve got black or blue jeans, nude heels, tan ankle boots, or lace up sandals however it’s meant to rain. Black heels

OP posts:

I think black jeans with the bodysuit would look good!

BrightonCalling · 12/05/2018 13:20

@Lbdflowers
What have you decided?!

Lbdflowers · 12/05/2018 14:10

Thinking because it’s raining - my blue high waisted skinny jeans, either my tan ankle boots or nude heels and my tan jacket
