Love Week: What to Wear on a Date

Ok, so while I couldn’t tell you how to GET a date (I’ve been married for over 10 years), I definitely know HOW TO DRESS for a date.

The perfect date outfit will make you look alluring yet not overtly sexy. It’s best to be subtle but not boring. I also think there are different rules depending on how many times you’ve gone out with someone. I think it’s OK to get a little sexier with date fashions as you get to know each other. Don’t reveal too much cleavage but do reveal skin. ALWAYS wear a sexy shoe! The key is to look comfortable in your own skin . . . and feel confident!

So whether it’s a first date with someone you’ve never met (or your 500th with your spouse), follow these foolproof rules and you’ll never go wrong.
