Glam Guide 101: Dainty Dating on a Dime

Spring is here and there is no better season for mingling with hot guy prospects. When dating, it can sometimes get a little hard to find the perfect outfit for the occasion. Of course you want to look sexy but not sleazy and gorgeous but not forced. All the while, you're hoping not to spend a fortune doing so, right?

Well here are a few tips that will have you date ready in no time, without breaking the bank...

First Date:
Let's face it- first dates are nerve wrecking enough. You aren't even sure if you're going to like this guy, let alone if it's going to be worth a pair of expensive new shoes. So, what do you do? If you must buy something new, keep your budget at under $50 and buy ONLY those items that will compliment your current wardrobe. More than likely, the perfect ensamble is already tucked away in your closet anyhow.

A good first date will contain three elements, which means you won't be spending all of your time in one place. So while you want to be dainty, you'll need to be comfortable as well. A skinny jean and romantic top is always a safe bet. Paired with a blazer, this look is an effortless first date look. But if you want to really make a statement, I would recommend a pair of printed pants instead. The look is totally on trend and can be paired with a sexy sheer top or a simple cropped top for a sexy and fierce finish.

For this look, I recommend a classic pointy toe pump in either black or nude. Normally the pants will bring all the color. Beyonce's yellow shoe definitely works with her look, however.



Date w/ the Mate-
Sometimes even going on a date with your boo thang can be a challenging wardrobe call. I stick to a few basic rules: stay sexy and make him want you. By now, your boo has probably already saw all the goods you have to offer. But there is no reason not to give a sneak peak. It's spring, s be flirty and keep it fun.

If the weather is nice, go short! A cute pair of shorts is an unexpected date night look and will have the boo eyeing you all night. Either go with the hot-right-now monochromatic hues OR color block with a cute cropped top and a pair of scrappy sandals in a contrasting tone.

Short suits are totally in right now! So get all matchy-matchy from the thigh up and go for a surprise pop of color in your hoe choice. This is sexy, chic and total date night perfection.
