Casual First Date Outfit Idea

I am newly single and re-entering the dating scene. I recently received a casual dinner date invitation and I had no idea what to wear. I went through my closest, in an attempt to see what if I should pick up something new. Lets face it, first dates are stressful enough without adding a clothing emergency to the mix.
Here’s my idea for a first date outfit that would be perfect for coffee, lunch, or a casual dinner.
Straight Leg Jeans
Good Society – $109
I love these straight leg jeans in gray. They are made with organic cotton and just a touch of lycra. They are handmade, fairly traded and a portion of the profits made from their sale goes to charity. That just might make them good-karma first date denims.
Disco Top
SUST – $76
This slate-colored, short-sleeved tunic is a cute and comfy choice. You can wear it on or off the shoulders. It’s also available in a cherry red (men love red) or a soft buttery yellow. I picked the slate, because I’m going for subtle and classic.
Summer Scarf
SUST – $24
This scarf would give me something to do with my hands, which could be a lifesaver when dealing with first date jitters. When sitting down, I could hold onto the ends and stop myself from gesturing madly, which is what I’m prone to do when nervous. The scarf is made from a soft, organic, supima cotton.

I like all these pieces–and whatever you wear I’m sure it’ll be fabulous!
Thank you, Verna! I plan to get very date-y so I’m going to need a few new things.
Those look great. The most important thing is to feel comfortable. And HAVE FUN!
Thanks, Soos. I had a first-first date on Friday and it went well. I’m ready for more. Bring on the men! ;D
Brave woman! I’d need to get a background check and clean bill of health first! lol
