For some reason, once you get married, date nights seem to become far and few between. Can anyone else relate to that? I’m not sure what it is — I guess our responsibilities change a bit. While I may not know the answer, I do think that taking time for a date night every so often is incredibly important.
I haven’t done a What I Wore Wednesday in a while, but I thought it would be fun to share a What I Wore Wednesday for date night… and partner with a favorite brand of mine, Faultless® Premium Starch.
When preparing for a date night, I tend to put the most thought into what I’m going to wear. Over the years, I’ve become much more simplistic in style. I think that’s because I used to be a suit wearing business woman, so now I embrace simple. I love the boho style, so I decided to wear a black boho-tribal dress.
Ironing is always a priority — and starching is something I LOVE to do! I’m always excited to see crisp clothing, pleats (when appropriate) and I find that it can reduce ironing time. Faultless Premium keeps your clothes looking new too. Have you ever used a starch that flakes, spots or where the bottle gets clogged? Soooo frustrating. Faultless isn’t like the others — so there is no clogging, flaking or spotting. Score!
After ironing, it was time to complete the outfit. I paired my dress with an open toe sandal from Old Navy. Accessorizing with a clutch seemed perfect for date and night and they are very popular right now, so I used my new cream colored clutch, which also has a tribal/boho feel (from Target).
Add some jewelry, spray on my favorite perfume and I’m ready to go!
A nice dinner out is always so nice! I love just catching up on old and new news — talking about our dreams, future as we sip on a glass of wine. We always say that we need to do it more, but we fail miserably at making it happen… however, sometimes an informal date night to Jimmy John’s works too!
Faultless Premium is perfect for your every day starching needs! You can find it in the laundry aisle at most major retailers, or you can use the Faultless Find a Store tool. Be sure to download an instant coupon too! Swing by and like Faultless on Facebook for more tips and tricks to use Faultless Starch everyday.

Linking up to What I Wore with The Pleated Poppy
Tammy says
I’m a khaki kind of girl. A fashion that never goes out. I love changing out different shirts with my khaki pants for work, play or night time fun.
Chris says
Love the dress. Where did you get it?
Kelly Rowe says
Hi Chris. Thanks so much. I got it at Old Navy 🙂 It was actually with the swim covers ups.
Linda Cole says
I think that a great pair of black slacks is one of the important items everyone needs in their wardrobe. You can dress them up with a great blouse or tunic and dress them down with a fun tee shirt. Would be great to win this giveaway!
Gail says
You looked beautiful ! I hope that you both had a wonderful date night .!

The best tip is to use accessories like scarves or a statement necklace to draw attention to your face.
Lisa Brown says
Fashion tip: wear scarves year round. There is a scarf for every time of the year: thin ones for warmer weather and thick ones for colder weather. They change up any outfit, so easily. Thanks for the chance.

Lauren says
My fashion tip is to buy solid bottoms so they will go with all of your tops.
HS says
My favorite tip is to stay simple with clothing style and colors, use accessories (scarf and handbag) to make a statement.
Robyn Adler says
Invest in good quality basic wardrobe pieces and if you do buy a trendy item, make sure it’s inexpensive. You can make the same dress look very different with your selection of accessories and shoes.
Elle says
My best fashion tip is, if you wear a lower cut top, wear a more modest skirt or pants. Or.. if you wear a shorter skirt or tight pants, balance it out with a more modest top.
Debbie says
I love to add a statement necklace to a simple black dress. Comfy and cute! Love your outfit!
Debbie Mayfield says
I love your dress. It looked so nice freshly starched. I, too, love to iron and use starch to make our clothes look nice. I love to add accessories to what would be a really plain outfit. A nice necklace, earrings, and a coordinating bracelet can really bring it all together.
Jayne McLeod (Canada) says
YOU looked great and I hope you had an amazing evening out !!
Susan Christy says
Accessorize! The right shoes, jewelry, scarf, handbag, etc. can make any outfit better.
Elena says
My tip is to wear different accessories every day. They will brighten up any outfit
Bryn says
My tip is to find good quality pieces that are on sale at the end of the season. I get nice clothes that I love but I don’t have to feel guilty when I wear them about how much I spent! I tend to take better care of these higher quality garments too. And then of course I stock up on tees and tanks at target and old navy. Super cheap and do their job for one or two seasons
latanya says
My fashion tip is to have your clothing tailored to fit your body the way you want them to fit.
Melissa says
My fashion tip is to wear what you like and what makes you feel good!
Terry Stevens says
I am no fashion beauty but love to dress up my jeans depending on where I am going. Jewelry or a jacket to dress up the attire for the night is my tip.
Krys W says
Thank you for sharing this giveaway with us. In the summer I love my white jeans matched with different tops and chunky jewelry. My go to pants for winter are brown and black jeans and the same summer tops with different jewelry and my shoes tend to be a sandal type matching my outfits, Wrinkle free for me!
