Blind Date: Museums & Coffee

From email to cyber Monday, to Skype meetings to iTunes music, it seems like nearly everything today has been converted into an online form and dating is no exception. Online dating has become one of the most used ways for singles to meet potential partners without the hassle of sifting through the seemingly slim pickings in bars. It is highly convenient as you get to easily filter out the creeps to find possible dating interests and incredibly flattering. When on these sites, you are bombarded messages from guys/girls who are wanting to get to know you.

Have you been thinking of signing up or just about to? With the help of a fellow blogger and friend, I'm beginning a multi-part series on what to wear for your first blind dates (because you can potentially go on several through online dating)! In the next few weeks, Melody Rowell and I will be bringing you fashion tips and real-life evidence for your first dates.

A common place to meet for a blind date is a museum or coffee shop. Usually occurring during the day, it can be a challenge to pick out the perfect outfit to wear. Always go a bit more casual than you might if you are an over-dresser. Stick with flats as you might walk around quite a bit and wear something that is cute, but comfortable. I recommend wearing a bold jacket with a comfy t-shirt and skinny jeans so you look stylish, laid back, and confident. The contrasting clutch will bring a bit of fun to the whole outfit!
