Going on a first date = What to wear?

As we know first impressions are definitely last impressions. There are three crucial times to choose the right clothing for the occasion: meeting the parents, first job interview and first dates .

Things that you should consider when making your selection, does this make me feel confident and comfortable? Can I conquer the world in what I am wearing? Does this color enhance my skin tone, giving me that radiant glow that people would kill for? Well maybe not that extreme but you get the picture. Think about what clothing items flatter your shape. Both these elements will make you feel instantly amazing. The same should apply to your shoes.

When all else fails there is no substitution for the ever classic, must have in your closet even if you think you will never wear it LBD (or little black dress)! Worn with statement accessories you will definitely be memorable. Think Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

No matter where you are going, what you wear should serve a dual purpose; making you feel at ease while at the same time making you look attractive. In the end, it is important that you relax, let your personality shine and have a great time!
