bored? Dress me for dates!

tonight I have a date at a new hipster-ish bar in a cool part of town. I want casual (my city is UBER casual) but cute. I'm going wtih jeans no matter what. I do have a cool black l(faux) leather jacket, but not sure if it's too dressy or not? It has some silver hardware on it that makes it a bit dressier than normal leather jacketrs  I'd love to dress it down.

Saturday night I'm going to our local MLS (soccer) game. It will probably be raining...and team color is green (he's an avid fan...and unfortunately I don't have a cute team shirt)

And...go!

  • I have that same jacket and love it! I think you can totally get away with it by pairing it with a simple fitted white tshirt. That's how I wear it for more casual outtings and love it.

    For the MLS game I'd do jeans, cute tshirt or long sleeved shirt, rain jacket, maybe rainboots over skinnies or cute tennis shoes. 

  • I like the idea of the black leather jacket with skinny jeans and heels, with a flowy top underneath

    great bomber jacket

    Something like that :)

  • Hmm..do we live in the same town??

    What kind of shoes would i wear with it? I have straight leg jeans that are closer to skinnies and bootcut jeans. I have a hot pair of black heels but I think they are too dressy for this place? Not sure though...

    Hmmm...I always err on the side of being too dressy. So I'd say wear the heals.

    Yes  Any excuse to wear hot heels!

  • Boots would be a little less dressy than heels, but still hot.
    The day I left was just my beginning.
  • Cool, well hello neighbor! And have fun at the game!

    I wear black heels whenever I want. To a dive bar with jeans? Sure. If I want to!
