first dates

You asked, I answered. One of my dear friends, Kara, asked me to do some posts about what to wear on dates.  Although I've been married for 4 years and apprehension about what to wear may be lessening, having a date outfit photographed by uber-talented husband can create a little anxiety.

I'm wearing....

So before a girl goes out on a first date, she fantasizes about about the guy that brings her flowers looks like a jcrew model. She'll say everything perfectly; and he'll fall in love with her immediately.  This may not be said out loud, but it happens.

No? Ok maybe that's just me.

But then reality happens.  The wind is blowing, you end up with food on your hands and face, and the damn flowers are wilting faster than the hairspray in your hair.  A thousand things could pop up to make you question your appeal to the opposite sex.   But you can fake the biggest insecurities by laughing and smiling your way through it. That's what I did.  Trust me on this, smiling works.
