I like all of these, depending on the venue and if you feel like a bold colour or a soft one.

Just add a jacket or coat.

Jewelry is such a personal thing - I could see delicate sparkly pieces being very pretty with these but chunkier cuffs or earrings could also work.

You look terrific, hope the dating goes well

I really love the color of the cobalt blue on you. I wonder if it would work better with the bottom half of the outfit in #1? I'm wishing you luck and hoping we get to hear a few successes. Dating is hard, and casual dressy is one of the trickiest to get right in my opinion!

Amy, you look so pretty. And to me you appear warm, approachable, and fun.

Admittedly, I am not a Seattle guy.

I think any of these outfits could work but I like 1 and 2 the best. Agree with the idea to scrunch the sleeves of 1. I know you say a semi tuck will be a bad idea, but can you try one just to make sure? It's kind of a magical trick for a lot of figures and works on people you wouldn't expect it to work on. Then you can add a belt and that in itself is a kind of "jewellery" so you don't have to worry about much else.

I also agree with those who say it depends where you are going. If you're meeting in a coffee shop (first date?) then you'd wear one thing. If you're going to a concert, or a ball game, or a dinner -- well, those are other things!

Trying to imagine what I might wear....gah, I don't envy you!!!

I like #2, blue denim looks a little
to casual for 1st-2nd dates also #3 top with white pants may look cute. You are very pretty, so I think your clothing choices here aren't deal breakers....

First of all, let me say that your hair looks really great. I am hair challenged, so I can appreciate good hair.

I've just glimped over the previous comments and haven't read them very closely. It looks like there were suggestions to tuck and wear a belt, and you were concerned about your short waist. I am short waisted too, and I find that if I roll my pants up when I tuck, that helps with the proportions.

My favorite outfit is #2. As another poster said, there is something about the black shoes that makes it work. I think it is because the black shoes is pulling out the black of your necklace, so the outfit is tied together. I wonder what would happen if for each outfit, you tried to tie together two accessories via color (of course, I am inclulding shoes as an accessory). Maybe a handbag would help here?

The only other thing I could imagine to add would be some kind of bangle. I think that that would add a little bit of extra detail.

Thank you VERY much everyone.

Suz, I have tried semi tucking many times--whenever I hang out on YLF. It just doesn't feel right to me. If I don't have belt loops, the belt slides up right under my breasts, which is not a good look. If I do have belt loops, it either sits at my natural waist, which is very shortening, or it ends up on the widest part of my body when I have on lower rise bottoms. Given that there's an 11 inch difference between my waist and hips, I have some problems with belt sizing that I just haven't felt motivated to solve :). Thank you for the suggestion though!

Ah. Okay. Well, onwards, then. I wouldn't do it without belt loops for sure, I was thinking with belt loops only. But if it doesn't feel like "you" it's no good. That's the most important thing, I think.
