My husband and I were getting ready for a date night this weekend (we need to be reminded of what dinner without a toddler is like every once in awhile) and got to talking about how clothing for men is so much, for lack of a better word, easier than it is for women.

I’m not complaining, I know for myself one of the best parts about being a girl are the clothes, omg I could look at clothes all day. It’s just that I always find myself feeling pressure to update, buy another dress, buy a piece that’s the latest trend, etc. It gets overwhelming and it’s not exactly budget friendly. Enter: the little black romper. It’s like the little black dresses cheeky cousin. So cute and flirty and the best part, you won’t look dated wearing it from season to season. I purchased this one from Loft last year and have probably worn this more times than I can remember.

I wanted to spice it up a little (well for me, anyway) so I brought out my red Sam Edelman pumps and favorite red lipstick. For another accessory, I threw on a boater hat. I love the shape of these hats and it just gives the outfit that little something extra. This is a look that’s easy to wear for a summer date night outfit- bonus points for being classic and timeless!

    zoe–right?!?! men have it pretty easy in terms of clothing. women on the other hand. oh boy. why else do men think it takes us forever to get ready? we have SO MANY. CHOICES. haha lol, such a blessing and a curse depending on the situation. i loved how you spiced the romper up with heels (something i should try) and some red lips. and the perfect hat to top it off 😛 xoxo,
