I was thinking of the dark jeans myself. I hadn't thought of the leather jacket but I like that idea. I'm not much of a heels person but I think that's a no brainer to make me look taller and leaner right? I know to look good sometimes you have to step out of the comfort zone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-to-wear-on-a-first-date-for-a-42-year-old#post-129073 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 12:44:42 +0000 Sarah 129073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would wear dark wash straight leg jeans (if you need suggestions, let us know!), a pretty solid color top, and a textured cropped jacket and some sexy heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-to-wear-on-a-first-date-for-a-42-year-old#post-129060 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 08:48:03 +0000 fathenry 129060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would try dark wash trouser style jeans, some fun heels and perhaps one of the sweet pea tops from Nordstrom paired with a leather jacket as someone else suggested. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-to-wear-on-a-first-date-for-a-42-year-old#post-128998 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 03:54:38 +0000 Anonymous 128998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about wearing a knee-length dark denim jean skirt? Maybe a-line shape or whatever shape is most flattering. I'd pair it with a dressier top..maybe a wrap blouse in a flattering color and in silk or a fabric with some sheen...and a blazer or leather jacket that you can leave on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-to-wear-on-a-first-date-for-a-42-year-old#post-128982 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 03:08:36 +0000 Queen Mum 128982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>do you like to wear jeans? I would think a smart pair of jeans a button down or knit top and a fun jacket would be great.<br /> Unless you know that your date will be dressed super nice, you probably don't want to go overboard dressy, nor overly casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-to-wear-on-a-first-date-for-a-42-year-old#post-128970 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 02:33:08 +0000 rhongepooh 128970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, by the way I got fitted for a good bra this past Christmas for my daughter's wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-to-wear-on-a-first-date-for-a-42-year-old#post-128969 Sat, 27 Feb 2010 02:32:34 +0000 rhongepooh 128969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My date is next Saturday night. We will be meeting at a local hole in the wall resturant that's a steak house. Nothing fancy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-to-wear-on-a-first-date-for-a-42-year-old#post-128238 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 00:04:45 +0000 Angie 128238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun! When is your date and where are you going? </p> <p>On a side note, when were you last professionally fitted for a bra? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-what-to-wear-on-a-first-date-for-a-42-year-old#post-128229 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 23:33:30 +0000 rhongepooh 128229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I'm 42 and going on a first date. I'm an apple type. I'm 5'5" and weigh about 170 and an apple type. I wear a size 14 or 12 pants and an extra large top (very top heavy). I want to look good and 'chic' and not like an old woman. We are going to a steak house so it's a pretty casual place. HELP! I need suggestions! </p>
