Date nights are too few and far between in our household. After a long week, a date night on Friday was just what my husband and I needed. We met another couple at a restaurant in Nashville and enjoyed dinner and drinks without our wee little ones tugging on our last nerves.
There is a lot of fashion inspiration out there in the form of Pinterest, Blogs, and retail sites, but most come in a twenty-something package with no hips, short skirts, and 5" heels. I asked myself the question many of you probably ask as well which
is
what does a mother of two in her mid-thirties (or your age here) wear on a date?
Tip 1: Wear Heels
Take advantage of your night with no children. Regardless of who your date is with - a boyfriend, husband, or girl friends - bust a move in a great pair of heels. A higher heel will elongate the legs, creating a leaner look. Feeling lean means feeling sexy, right?
Tip 2: Get out of Your Mom Wear
No sweats, No flip flops, No over sized T-shirts, No "mom" jeans. This is your chance to take advantage of the clothes you don't get to wear on a regular basis. Go for it and put on those white jeans you are afraid to wear with the kids.
Tip 3: Get Your Sexy Back
Getting dolled up for a date night does not mean X-Rated. Keep it classy ladies, but be daring and show a little skin with a skirt, V-neck blouse, or even go sleeveless now that the weather is warmer.
INSPIRATION
Try the colored denim trend. They are out at all price ranges and look great with a simple blouse and bold accessories.
WHAT DID I WEAR
Made my first purchase at StyleMint. Great T-Shirts at affordable prices.

Lace Back Tee from StyleMint
Made a statement with a necklace from Stella & Dot
Wore my "pop" of color with red jeans from Loft.
