I can't believe it's already Valentine's day and just three more days until my birthday (woohoo)! A friend invited me to a "casual" dinner date 2 weeks ago – you can check out our first date story here. It freaks me out every time I need to go on a date. I always panic because I need to find something to wear!
Based on my last experience, I felt that it is safer to be a little dressier than to be under-dressed. After all, you can simply take accessories away to tone down the formality if the event ends up being casual. Just like our previous date, this friend played mysterious on the restaurant again. The only clue he gave me was the dress code.
He told me to dress "Casually Elegant".
What kind of dress code is that? What does that even mean?
I have no idea. I mean, how can you be both casual and elegant at the same time!? Is that even possible? It is nerve-racking to not know what’s coming and that I can't plan ahead. But at the same time, I admit, I do find this a bit exciting. It's like going on an outfit challenge! So with that in mind, I decided to go for a sweet and feminine look. Something that is not too formal for a dinner. Just because it is a date on Valentine’s day, it doesn’t mean that I have to wear reds and pinks. I'm a little sick and tired of wearing red because of Chinese New Year. So, I’d like to wear something a bit different this time yet keeping it appropriate for the occasion.
This is what I wore for Valentine's.
