Date nights are kind of a big deal around here. With packed schedules and days of sitting in horrendous traffic, carving out time for a date night each week is one way to keep your sanity and romance alive. Summer nights are especially lovely-especially when you can get a cool breeze and moonlight walk…and maybe a delicious limeade or two to go with it.
Coming up with what to wear on a date doesn’t get less tricky if it’s your first date or your thousandth. You still want to catch your date’s eye, make them think you’re always this effortlessly beautiful, and feel comfortable. (There is nothing worse than wearing an uncomfortable outfit on a date! And it doesn’t look pretty when you’re tugging at it all night, either.)
My go-to outfit for summer date nights is once again, the maxi dress. But instead of a hip tribal print or the mullet style (short in front, long in back,) I liked this floral number. The print is summery and feminine, and shows a little shoulder. Plus, it’s breathable (hallelujah!) and soft cotton fabric. Forever21 has a fantastic selection of maxi dresses that won’t break the bank, so you can build up a nice collection of date night options.
The best part about this look? It’s simple. For under $30, you’ve scored a dress that can work with heels or flats, understated jewelry, and a casual handbag like this one from The Sak for those date-night cosmetic touch-ups. With the money you’ve saved, you can spring for movie tickets or those limeades. (Click here for a delicious homemade limeade recipe!)
