Let's Play Dress Up

Hey ya'll I need your help!

I have a date tonight, and though I've breezed thru quite a few lately, I cannot decide for the life of me what to wear! Maybe it's the new hair, or maybe it's because I went shopping over the long weekend and have TONS of new options ;)

Things to keep in mind:

  • Casual dinner date, think Max & Erma's/Olive Garden-esque
  • It might rain, but will be in the high 80s
  • I have red hair now! Will orange/pink clash?
  • When we first met, I was wearing a dress so I'm sort of hesitant to wear one again. Silly?
Vote in the comments!



Option #1
Floral halter top, khaki capris and bronze thong sandals




Option #2
Black polka dot top, jean skirt and black belted sandals




Option #3
Bright green halter dress and tan heeled sandals




Option #4
Orange tube top, pink and orange plaid walking shorts and brown flip flops




Option #5
Floral blouse, brown dress capris and brown heeled sandals



So, what should I wear?


Also, Jesse?! DeAnna picked Jesse on the final episode of the Bachelorette!
Jason, if you're reading this, call me! ;)

Janet said...

omg am I first??!

I vote for #2 followed by #3 as my 2nd choice. Have fun dearie!

Chris said...

Wow, I totally second Janet. Completely.

Arielle said...

I actually agree with those above me!

Sara Jane said...

I would say #3 first. Followed by #2. The green will look so good with your new super hot, foxy red locks! Dresses are very in. They look very "Oh this...I just threw it on and ran out the door without trying too hard, even though I pined over what to wear for hours." So easy, chic and perfect.

Angela Noelle said...

Option #2 FTW!! Have a great time :)

East Coast Teacher said...

#1, #2 or #5.

I'll fight you for Jason, LOL.

Aaron said...

If you want a male perspective,

I'd go with The Green dress (I'm not too sure about the sandles though)

Followed by the Floral Blouse and Brown Capris.

Please don't go with option 2 - It reminds me of uniforms hospital receptionists wear - not good!

I hope you have a great time, BTW - You Look Great (I forgot to comment on your other post!, Sorry!)

Vanessa said...

Wow you have a lot of options! I vote for option two, but I have a serious fondness for black tops. Good luck on your date!

Anonymous said...

I vote for the green halter dress.Men love dresses.

Phil said...

Gay male voice chiming in...

I'm hesitant about the polka dots only because I saw a lady wearing something similar today that was totally a no-no...

Capris sound fabulous, but I think you need a slightly less visually stunning top, which would bring out your hair more. A top of similar color to the green halter dress would be stunning. :)

alyndabear said...

I like 2 and 5. In fact, I WANT Option 5 for myself! ;-)

brandy said...

2,3 and 5.

But I want them all. Have fun!

Anonymous said...

holy crap, your red hair is beautiful!!! i'm a big fan of red hair. the only times i colored mine, that's the direction i went...probably almost the same color as yours. i think the green dress is fab, but my second choice is the jean skirt.

Gretta James said...

My first thought was option 2, simple yet sexy!

Then I'd go with option one, halter tops always make boobs look great.

I like number 5...I feel like some of the other ones are too beachy for a dinner date...but that's just my opinion.

Have fun! Love your new hair BTW!

Ben said...

You've probably been on your date and back by now, but I'm hoping you're picking option #3 or #5 off his bedroom floor at this point.

Eleni Zoe said...

I'm too late. But like Ben, I'm hoping you went with number 5!

That top is very sexy in an understated sort of way. Perfect for a first date..Hope it went well!

Maxie said...

I like number 2 and number 5!

Arissa Mae said...

I'm probably too late, but I'd say #2 or #5. #3 just seems too eager. I suggest saving it for a date further down the road, when you really are into the guy and are sure he's really into you.

And JESSE!?! I'm glad though...she didn't know who she was or what she wanted, and Ty didn't need that in a future mom. :o)

Michelle and the City said...

don't worry guys, the date's tonight! i'm loving blogger and the fact that it publishes posts for me while i'm sleeping :)

#2 is apparently winning everyone over, but i'm still unsure!

3carnations said...

I like option 5. Casual but fun! :)

Single Girl said...

I'm voting for #2 or #3!

I actually really liked Jesse! Don't get me wrong, Jason was a fabulous guy, but definitely not the right one for Deanna, he just had his life figured out and she didn't. Jesse and Deanna are so freaking cute together though!!

Unknown said...

i dont know why but i am drawn to #2 as well, but all the guys are saying no.

two is cute but still sexy, without being over the top. i think thats why i like it.

I vote for #1 although it looks like I'm in the minority. All are super cute so you won't go wrong.

Jesse!?! Did it seem like they were trying too hard at After the Last Rose? Oh well, good luck.

Jason is so cute!

Unknown said...

#2!

I like #3 too, would prolly be comfortable especially if you get outdoor seating =)

I'm liking # 2 and # 5. #2 being my first choice. Ooh hot date :)

shelleycoughlin said...

I like options 2 and 5 for the casual date. :)

Kristen said...

#3 or #5.

Good luck!

christa p said...

i vote 1 or 3. both very appropriate for the hot steamy summer we are having :)

Liz said...

I know a lot of people voted for #2, but it's just too "safe" for me. I like #1. It's fun, low-key, but still super sexy b/c it's a halter. I love halters.

Molly said...

2 then 3. Because those restaurants are always cold I think the sleeves will be a benefit. Both are super cute!

Unknown said...

I'm loving option #5 - cute and flirty, sexy, but not overtly.

Laurie // 312 Beauty said...

I love Option 1 - that top is so summery! You should do a bronzy look with your makeup too - it will look great with your feisty new do:)

And yes, I'm still recovering from the Bachelorette last night! I loved loved LOVED Jason - and Jeremy for that matter.

Anonymous said...

Option 5 and then 3.

Have fun dear.

And I can't get over her picking Jesse either. Man oh Man.

vintagebird said...

Number 2!

Only One Heidi said...

what if i like them all :) But seriously? I like 1 and 3 the best :) and i think the green would look super cute with the new red hair (which i <3 btw!)

alexa @clevelandsaplum said...

#2 or #3 for sure.

Cady said...

i love #1. it's super sexy. and i'm with you....jesse?? definitely not who i would have picked but oh well.

Kate said...

I vote #2 and then #3. The green would be good for the new red hair though!

La Petite Chic said...

I like #1, then #2 :)

Nilsa S. said...

With that stunning red hair? I vote for Option 3 - rock his world in your green dress!

L Sass said...

I like #2! The denim skirt will be sexy and fun and the top is SO cute! I love!

Anonymous said...

i LOVE number 3 and 5, both are flirty and cute!!!

And seriously, Jason call at least one of us!!!! (she picked the wrong one in my opinion)

I'm also very glad you decided to come over to our side...the redhaired side that is!! It def is a much more fun place to be ;)

Yoda said...

I'm still reeling under the fact that you have MATCHING sandals with each outfit. I have like 3 black/brown shoes that I wear with everything! LOL. You women.

Ok, I'm feeling that its a toss up b/w #1 and #3.

Is this a first date? Why not Marcella's? I heard its a nicer version of Olive Garden? I've been to the one in Polaris, and loved it!

heidikins said...

I vote #2, cute, sassy, summery.

Crossing my fingers for you!

Wear the green dress. :)

Have fun on your date!

Katyn said...

green dress!!

*kb* said...

#2 or 3!!!!!! :-)

the girl with the golden phone said...

five. definitely.

freeandflawed said...

I'm digging #1 and #5.

I can't believe she picked Jesse! Ugh!

Trish Ryan said...

Wow--you have great choices! You'll be fine no matter what, but my favorites are #1 (nice and casual) or #5. But seriously--you'll look great in any of these.

Julie said...

I reaaaallly like #2!!!

Hope you have fuN!

Jess said...

Number 2. And if not, then number 3.

carrie lea said...

Duh, the green dress!! If I had to pick a second choice, then the black top/ skirt combo. But I love the green dress, which would look awesome with your new red 'do!

Lauren said...

I like option 3 the best, and then 2. They're all very cute!

Samantha said...

i vote for #1 bc it will look good with your hair (and i AM a redhead don't forget!) and it will show cleavage while you are sitting down at the restaurant. a skirt doesn't really help show some skin if you are sitting at a table...and second is option #3

Daddy Dan said...

Absolutely, with a doubt, Option 1.

Option 2 isn't bad either.

Anonymous said...

Anything w/green, I'd say. Cuz green + red hair = awesome.

My first pick is the green dress, but I understand your hesitancy to wear a dress tonight.

So - I say #5

Nic (NotPerfect) said...

I love the shirt on #2, but I think it would also would look cute with the pants from 1. So my choices are 2, 2-1, and 5

Noelle said...

Number two. Sexy without being SEXY.

Kristie said...

# 5 is my choice. If you wore a dress on the first date than you cna show him that you are hot in shorts, too. :)

Have fun!

(P.S. red hair doesn't clash with anything. It GOES with everything!)

Elise said...

Absolutely, 100%, no question OPTION #2!

Katelin said...

i say option 2. very summery yet dateish. or option 5. i think both are pretty fun. have a great time on your date :)

Carmen said...

i like #3. it's so cute, feminine and date-like but not so dressy.

La Petite Belle

P said...

Option 2. Definitely.

Anonymous said...

I love the first and last ones, mainly because I have a love affair with capris and flowy tops.

Also, can't believe DeAnna picked Jessie. Jason was (is) so perfect! His smile slayed me every time :-) But she did appear happy with her choice, so that's good I suppose.

Lisa said...

You have nice clothes. I vote for #1, but I LOVE that dress from 3 and it would go KILLER with your hair

courtney said...

i loooooooove #2, it's totally my style. i want. and i'd go with #3 as backup because that color red will look great with green (i'm a redhead and i usually hate people telling me to wear green because of it but seriously? that red? that green? :))

Ripe for Reading said...

green halter dress!

Anonymous said...

Dammit! I Tivo-ed The Bachelorette and was going to watch it tonight! Dammit Dammit DAMMIT! I knew I should have stayed away from the internets!

#2 is my pick.

Anonymous said...

Option 2

followed by Option 1. But I really really like 2.

megabrooke said...

two!

good luck on the date!

Ashley D said...

Numbers 1 and 2 are my favorites!

Passionista said...

I love option 2 and black never clashes with anything! Otherwise, option 5 is a close second :) Have fun on your date!

Pink Sun Drops said...

I love #1 - it's so summery! What did you go with?

Charm City Kim said...

I know I'm too late but I vote for either option 2 or 3. I love them both!

Kim said...

#2 or #5 :-) Have fun!

Annie said...

I vote 5!!!
As someone with a lot of red in their hair, I stay away from oranges, but pinks are usually fine for me. But greens and browns will look great!

I've been shopping non stop for my Hawaii trip and now I don't know if I can narrow down my clothes to fit in one suitcase. Pathetic?

Have fun on your date!!!

Anonymous said...

How was the date? Oh, and how do you like the book? I'm on "During" now. It's interesting..

Rachel H. said...

So what did you end up wearing? How was the date? Even though I wasn't around yesterday to vote, I would've voted for #5.

Silverstar said...

I like number 2. Then again I'm not big on bright colours. :)

P.S. I like your new hair colour.

Therapeutic Ramblings said...

When in doubt....Capri pants or a sun dress.....you can't go wrong with Capri pants or a sun dress.
