WHAT TO WEAR FOR A LUNCH DATE WITH A NEW FRIEND

 

 

What a glorious day for a lunch date with a new friend. Today, I’m going to tour a fantastic facility whose mission is nourishing neighbors, engaging community partners, and developing solutions to address food insecurity. I’ve seen this program in action, and I want to learn more about it and see how I can help.

You know I’m thinking about what I should wear to see their operation and go to lunch. Lol! So, I have two outfits to choose from, and I want to hear your input. The first outfit is this gorgeous Blue Floral Fit and Flare Dress from Kohl’s. I love the colors of this dress; they are so pretty and summery. A dress is what I would typically choose for a brunch or lunch date, but I’m not sure that would be the best choice for today.

This is a cotton dress, so it is machine washable. The dress is sleeveless, but I could easily add a cardigan to keep me warm, and I’ll link to a few that I think would work below. I love the fit and flare fit, but I ordered this dress in a large, and it is too big for me. A medium would have fit much better, so if I decide on this dress, I’ll have to exchange it before my meeting.

The TOMS Classic Wedge Sandal in Natural looks great with a dress. I love wedge shoes for Spring and Summer, and the cork sole is my favorite. This natural color can go with anything, and I wear wedge shoes with jeans and shorts, not just with dresses. These run TTS, I’m wearing my usual size 9, and they fit great.

I love the overall look of this outfit, and the dress is on sale, so this is a strong contender.

I like this outfit also, especially since it is a little less dressy. I’m pretty sure that the facility will be very casual when it comes to dressing attire, so maybe this outfit would blend in better.

I must be in a blue mood because I picked this Blue Floral Button Front Puff Sleeve Top as my other choice. The colors are soft and muted in this top, and I love the soft look. The top has 3/4 sleeves that have poof, and they are a nice detail to the top. I think the top is oversized, I’m wearing a small, and it fits me great.

Here is a look at the top from the side, and you can see that the hem is longer in the back than on the sides. The White Ruched Crossbody Handbag looks perfect with both outfits. I love the camera-size bag and the quilted front. This bag is ideal for carrying your keys, phone, and wallet while you are running errands, and the crossbody strap will keep your bag secure.

These High-Waisted White Button Front Skinny Jeans have some distressing but no holes. This gives the jeans a modern touch without being too young looking. These jeans have a 27″ inseam, but I wanted them to be a tad bit shorter, so I added a cuff to them. These might run a little small, I’m wearing a 10, which fits great, but lately, I’ve been wearing an 8.

I’ll link a couple of other jeans below that don’t have distressing and are a zip fly.

So, which outfit do you think I should wear; the Blue Floral Fit and Flare Dress or the Blue Floral Button Front Top and High-Waisted White Button Jeans?
