First date … bar, classy but sexy

[AuntSalli]

I’ve had a quick look through all the usual suspects, next, warehouse etc I don’t want to go on the one hand looking like his mother he is a bit younger than me and on the other hand I don’t want to like an old slapper either.

i’ve probably got 99% of what’s about to be suggested sat in my wardrobe I just need to get out can anybody give me some ideas for an outfit ?

I also feel the cold a lot so I’m conscious I don’t want to be dressed like I’m in Santorini in a typical UK town Centre

@ShandaLear

lol what kind of outfit would constitute being like a trussed up chicken??

@ShandaLear

plus it would be boring to wear comfy clothes all the time

sometimes it’s worth making the effort rather than slobbing about in tracky bots all the time!

its not comfort at all costs!

Ah well he stood me so all irrelevant 😭

Bastard.

Oh no!

Oh no!

He actually stood you up as in you went to meet him and he didn’t show? What a bastard!

Mope tonight but then pick yourself back up and find someone who deserves you

On the plus side, you didn't have to waste an evening and a great outfit on the substandard specimen he's turned out to be. Every cloud!

What a jackass, sorry about that. Sometimes I think even 27 year olds are still like teenage boys - you deserve someone who would never do that to you.

Don’t let it stop you from going on other dates - it’s his loss

Jeans, cami, oversized blazer, plain heels, watch, nice bad plain if possible, perfume, no red lipstick, earrings

Shit just saw your update. What a bell. Next

Oh no!!! That's awful. At least you didn't waste time on him.
And I am sure your outfit was LOVELY. Wear it on the next fantastic date with someone who will turn up.

He did at least cancel by text before i set off and did actually ask what i was wearing 🙄
He wont be getting a second chance though

I would wear my oversized leather blazer, a short skirt, knee length boots /loafers, a plain T-shirt. This would be very dressed up for me. The usual jewellery, make up etc. and make sure my hair looks ok.
Don't wear heels, especially for a first date.

Oh, just read the update, you're better off etc.

I have to say that I have seen a lot of young women wearing heels when out during the evening at City centre near me. This was a surprise to me as country pub is more my thing and I'm used to seeing trainers / flats .

Sorry OP.

At least you haven't wasted an evening if it wasn't going to work - and you now have your outfit planned for your next date.
