Classy or Trashy? Looking Good for your First Date

Special thanks to SB Ashley  for suggesting this post. 

You’ve seen a fabulous dress that’s in your size, in a gorgeous color, and on sale. In fact, you’ve seen this in a magazine before, and you remember how great it looked on the  5’7 woman with long brown hair.  You decide to try it on and look at yourself in the mirror.  

It doesn’t look so great on you. 

Although the purple looked good on her, you start to feel that purple on a short bleach blond haired and pale skinned girl looks pretty dull.  

Instead, you go for the LBD (little black dress) that you saw her wearing.  You try it on, and it fits and looks great on you!  However, you remembered in the picture of the brown haired girl, she wore no accessories. Her hourglass curves made up for all of it.  Your pencil shaped body needs more though. You need to accessorize. 

It’s often times hard to say what will work for clothing, and what will not.  How an outfit looks can depend on anything from hair color to the size of your breasts.  But here I will try and guide you on some decent looks to shop for when meeting up with your pot, and more importantly affordable prices for the first time SB. As Ashley mentioned, a lot of girls end up looking extremely trashy instead of classy. Maybe they get nervous, or they’re not fashion inclined, but hopefully these tips will help future and current SB’s!

Do you know what to wear when you meet your SD?  I’ve compiled some “Choose this over that” dresses, shoes, accessories, hairstyles and make up for you.  After each dress I will list a cheaper alternative less than $50

Dresses

Date Dress:  The dress on the left  should be chosen over the dress on the right. Here’s why:

The feathering detail on the bottom of the right dress makes it look very young and cheap, plus the emphasis goes right to the bottom. Unless you’re a small size, this dress would be hard to pull off (even for them).  However the dress on the left feels more mature and seductive. The emphasizes is focused on the midsection which makes your waist look smaller.

Little Black Dress: The dress on the left should be chosen over the dress on the right. Here’s why:

The dress on the right seems very frumpy and “school teacher-ish.”  The belt is brown and boring, and makes her body look stiff.  It seems like something you’d wear at a funeral over a date. The dress on the left, however, has a gorgeous neckline.  It plunges at the back, which gives it more of a seductive feel.  This dress would be incredibly easy to accessorize and would look even better with a white shawl.

Evening Dress: The dress on the left should be chosen over the dress on the right. Here’s why:

The dress on the right reminds me of a cake.  The layering at the bottom is too much for such a long dress. However, the dress on the left is beautiful and elegant.  The off shoulder reveals a little, but not a lot, and in my opinion, keeps the SD wondering and attracted too you.  The ruffle at the side is gorgeous also. It adds a little detail, but not too much to overwhelm anybody looking at you.

Cocktail Dress: The dress on the left should be chosen over the dress on the right. Here’s why:

The dress on the right has sequins. Avoid sequins girls. They look tacky unless you’re a college party girl. The shirt looks so baggy that I can’t tell if she even has a chest or not.   The dress on the left is gorgeous, though. It flows well, has a great belt that, again, emphasizes the  waist. It looks sexy without feeling slutty, and the shoes look great with it.  Even though it has longer sleeves, it goes so well.

Plus Sizes: The dress on the left should be chosen over the dress on the right. Here’s why:

Can’t forget my curvier ladies! The dress on the right should be avoided for plus size girls.  This dress has an insane pattern, which should be avoided. The lines are horizontal, which creates an illusion of you being wider than you actually are.  This woman, although gorgeous, looks larger than I believe she is because she has nothing to emphasize her curves. On the other hand, the dress on the left is a solid color, shows the waist, and makes her look smaller than the right girl.

Shoes 

The shoe on the left should be chosen over the shoe on the right. Here’s why:

For most girls, and most outfits, high heel boots look extremely tacky.  I’ve always viewed them as to be something worn on a corner or in bed. That’s not to say I never wear them, but it takes a special outfit to pull them off. The smart thing to do would be to choose regular heels.

Accessories Tip

Accessories should never be overdone.  Try and keep casual accessories for casual meetings.  When going on a date it is more appropriate to wear this simple necklace over this one. I recommend Harajuku Lovers: Love perfume. I’ve always had comments about my perfume on dates when wearing it!

Hairstyle 

Try not to overdo it with a hairstyle, but don’t do nothing, either.  There is a girl on youtube who does some gorgeous styles.

Make Up 

Make up is one of the most important things that will make you look hott, or not.  Glamour has some decent make up ideas, but it’s about choosing to pair what with what.  For example, number one: “Go for major lash drama.” I would use with the cocktail dress but not for the evening gown. You can also youtube make up tutorials and find some great ideas!
