The Challenge: Impress Your Date
"I think this PFC will be a lot of fun for all of us, regardless of whether we’re single or in a relationship. The single ladies should be awesome at this. I’m excited to get some inspiration from you! For the taken ladies, we still need to dress up for date night (at least once in a while!!). Generally, I think we wear what makes us feel good, regardless of what other people think. But what is your secret for making your outfit a little more memorable?? Have fun with this one!"

Anyhoo, if you dial back 6 years, I would have worn the typical date garb of a LBD with high heels. Fast forward to present day and I'd add a statement necklace and fun wrist wear.
Express Strapless Black Dress (crazy old)
DIY Geometric Necklace
Chanel Bag
Target Black Pumps
Sporting red lips felt SO strange. I'm more a bare lips / light gloss kind of gal so I had to keep fighting the urge to wipe it off.
This "headed" post is dedicated to reader, JC ;)
Sorry this is out of focus! It was meant to show my accessories, but it nicely shows what I don't like about this dress. I constantly have to tug at it to make it smooth. Otherwise, it gives an unintentional ruching effect.
I don't have a picture of us on a date wearing this ensemble, but I do have a picture of us on one of our early dates as a new couple. This was Halloween 2001 (hence the cat ears): :)

ReplyDeleteYou look so gorgeous in this dress!! Your DIY necklace matches your outfit so well. Great you did make-up too. You look great with your hair and make up too.
ReplyDeleteYou and your hubby are so cute couple. You look cute with cats ear :)
DeleteI like the dress! Great choice adding that statement necklace. : ) I think this is my first time seeing Mr. SPG! You guys look great together!!
ReplyDeleteYou two are so cute together! I absolutely love the addition of the statement necklace to your LBD. So chic!
ReplyDeleteyou are such a cute and adorable couple!! i love this outfit with the necklace!! xox P
ReplyDeleteDefinitely can't go wrong with the LBD! The statement necklace was the perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteLove your LBD and that statement definitely made the outfit pop...and you and your honey look cute together! :)
ReplyDeleteSO great ^^ love your dress.. And what 2001 ???? Wow... What a relationship :)
ReplyDeleteI love your LBD and your statement necklace!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing in that dress! You and hubby are adorable:) I love the full face/body pics!
ReplyDeletecute necklace! it makes the tube dress look like a halter. you look great and your waist looks tiny in that dress.
ReplyDeleteAh, the slimming properties of a little black dress just can't be beat! Thanks so much, Ping!
DeleteYou and your husband make for such a beautiful couple - no wonder your kids look like kiddie models! :) And I love the LBD with statement jewelry - so glam!
ReplyDeletep.s. Have you come out of headless blogger-dom? I think I've only seen your face once before today on the blog.
Aww, you are so sweet! Thanks Elle! I'm not really out of headless blogging yet. I've shown my face here and there on the blog, but taking pics & posting is SO much easier if I don't have to worry about hair / facial expressions / makeup / etc. Ultimately, it's a combination of being self-conscious and lazy :D
DeleteIf I had known all it took was a reader request to show your face, I would've asked a long time ago ;) Thanks JC!
ReplyDeleteS, you and Mr. SPG are such a cute couple! I definitely see both of your features in your kids :)
Love the LBD on you, especially paired with the bold lips. I've been experimenting myself and it's definitley... interesting (for lack of a better word), haha. I find myself licking my lips a lot more because it feels much drier than going without. Perhaps I just haven't found the right brand/formula that is also moisturizing.
lolz you're welcome!
Deletedont we all just love the new shots???

Haha...I agree with Cee...I'm been so curious how you look all this time!!! Wow 2001! So I could tell that you were a cat for Halloween, what did your husband dress as?
ReplyDeleteThe red lips look great on you, especially with the LBD! The whole ensemble looks classy :) I've been trying the red lips too...whenever my mom sees she keeps telling me to wipe it off, I guess it doesn't look as well on me as I think!
Hehe, thanks Lor! I can't get used to the red lips thing. I think it looks spectacular on everyone else!
DeleteAfter the pic, I put makeup on his face for his vampire look, but it looked utterly horrible. I'm so glad we snapped a pic before I did that to his face! LOL
The red lips look great on you!! Love the dress!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so cute!
i read this post and just smiling the whole way. it's good to impress them ON the date, but don't forget when you take them back to your place AFTER the date, u still gotta impress 'em w/what's underneath. hahahaha i'm totally saying this bc ur married, NOT bc i live this way. HAHAHAHH!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I keep saying this, but Aubrey, you are freaking hilarious!
DeleteI think you did a great job! This is such a stunning look on you!! The red lipstick looks really good and I'm now obsessed with that DIY necklace!! That photo of you guys from 2001 is the cutest!

Please do a tutorial of the DIY necklace -- I love all of your DIY posts. I recently did my very own glitter shoes DIY tutorial: http://ritesofbeauty.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you! No real tutorial here because I just stuck eye pins into beads and clustered them geometrically. You can do the same thing and just follow the shape!
DeleteI use to wear for me first and then for the rest...If you are sure about your look you feel really fantástic and happy
ReplyDeleteI love your DIY necklace and I agree with everyone that your LBD makes you super slimming in the waist :) great PFC

You look adorable in this outfit. The LBD is the perfect answer for date night. I've been experimenting with red lipstick as well. I felt a little weird at first but I got used to it soon after.
ReplyDeleteA black dress will ALWAYS work. Love the bag too.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely dressed to impress.

Hello, you are one hot lady!!!! LOOOVE this outfit - sexy but understated!
ReplyDeleteSo ladylike! I love it!!!
ReplyDeletehttp://glamorouspetite.blogspot.com
Did that post? Anyways, it's my husband who doesn't like getting dressed up. I usually wear jeans. We're really casual. If it's fancier, I may wear a dress.
ReplyDeleteawh, too cute! haha. i am definitely loving this look. if i was going on a date, i'd probably opt for a cute dress. it's simple and easy to move in. i'd also want to be comfy, depending on where we're planning to go. :D

Looking at your earlier photo, you haven't aged at all!! Now that's what I call good genes. I haven't worn a dress for a while now, thanks to the really cold weather.
ReplyDeleteLovely outfit and your bag is a dream ;)
ReplyDeleteWoah! Smokin'! Hehehe. I hope the hubby got to see you in your LBD before or after this photoshoot! =P Look at that leg and tiny waist! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking up on me! The good news is that baby boy is HERE!!! He's a week old now and the new love of my life! He arrived early too, so I still had things to do to prepare/buy, but thank goodness for Amazon Prime! :)
