It's often foggy here in the morning and chilly at night. And you need to wear a wetsuit to stay in the water for any length of time. Dining with Al (Fresco), as my Dad calls it, happens only a handful of times a year without a patio heater.
This makes for tricky outfit planning on what my American friends call Date Night. For the last couple of years we have gone out every Sat night. When the kids were tiny we went out Wed and Sat nights. I figure someone else can keep the homefires burning while I have a (few) cocktails, some chortles and kick up my (high) heels with the ole hubby. As a fellow blogger Kayce writes, date night "is a wonderful habit if you don't have kids. If you do, I consider it a necessity". She has seven kids.
And on the other end of scale, a couple of nights later out come my other uniform of newish crocheted tunic, long sleeved has to be, and old Joie shorts.
Soon everything is covered by my camel (or do you say butterscotch?) cotton jacket from MikeandChris also five years old.
My new shoe obsession is my Stuart Weitzman rope sandals. Good with shorts, trousers, bright dresses. Saw them on Jennifer Aniston in OK mag, blimin' copy cat, and everyone I meet says they have just bought a pair. If you want to make some quick dosh, start making rope sandals or in fact wrap rope around everything. Toot sweet.
Have you got a favourite Date Night outfit?
LOVE seeing and reading about someone elses date night! Your outfits are great. I really want your rope shoes and jacket.
