Date night oufit

Remember when I mentioned Matt's and my date night at Shadowbox Live recently? Well here's that outfit :) And the bonus? I wore it to work the next day with slacks and heels instead of jeans and flats. Didn't take photos of that, but how's that for double duty? Not bad, I say.






blazer and shirt: thrifted
jeggings: Burlington Coat Factory
shoes: Payless
necklace: The Limitedjk, it's really from Forever 21...oops!

(Please ignore my squinty face and the out-of-focus photos. Very bright sun + being rushed = poor photo quality. Who knew?)

I love getting dressed for date nights. Matt and I are at that point in our relationship—three and a half years this month, in fact—where sweatpants are just easier to wear and neither person really cares if the other is put together or not. So when we get a chance to dress up a little and get fancy, it's a nice change of pace.

Speaking of half-anniversaries, this month (the beginning of this month, actually) marks the six month anniversary of this blog! I'm actually a little surprised at myself. I'm not one for long attention spans—that's an understatement, I have the attention span of a five year old. Or a goldfish. Anyway, I'm quite pleased that I have made this far without being bored with the blog at all. Here's to another six (or twelve, or more)!

Update: Just linked to Spunky Chateau's Thursdays are for Thrifters! Lots of great finds up there this week...check it out if you have time :)

  1. Cute date night look! I love celebrating 'half' anniversaries too. Mostly because I will use any silly reason to celebrate. While I do love that I'm comfortable in a pair of pajamas in front of my man I also love getting dressed up for him becuase he's REALLY good at throwing out the compliments (mostly becuase he knows that means I won't run change again.)

  2. Aw, that's cute! I've given up on looking for outfit compliments. Matt sometimes wears the same shirt two or three times a week...he's not the type to notice/care about style. Which is one of the reasons I love blogging...at least here, someone notices ;) haha!

  3. Yay! I'm glad you've stuck with the blog over these 6 months. You're a daily read for me!

    And I love date nights. It's a great excuse to dress up and look great.

    And I've awarded you the Kreativ Blogger award in case you're interested in passing it along :)
