We woke up this Sunday morning and my husband said,
“Babe, let’s go out into the city today.”
I thought about the complete and utter potato-ness I’d been settling into the past week and a half and thought to myself “I should do better by my man, and myself.”
“Okay! Like a date?” I responded. I have to make sure to get details with my husband. He is liable to take us to the city to walk around for half an hour. I needed to be sure of exactly how cute I would need to be for this “outing”.
“Yeah”, he shrugged his shoulders. Oh, my man. *silent swoon* So nonchalant.
My mind got to work. How could I render my brand new husband speechless? I knew that our base level right now was potato, so anything fancier than a potato would do but I wanted to wow him so I decided to kick things up a notch for our city outing. I was going to wear jeans and a t-shirt but this wow called for much more.
I ended up choosing a slightly revealing baby blue button down top with a cinched waist, a leather mini-skirt that I love but never feel like I get to wear, and my favorite black block heels to accentuate my legs. I paired the look with some slim gold hoops and a high bun with some hair left out in front to frame my face.
For makeup I went super simple and added a bold lip. This pink-ish burgundy shade is $4.00 lip liner that I filled my lips in with and added a clear gloss to. I chose the simplest eyelashes I had, added a single coat of mascara to my top and bottom lashes and actually plucked my brows – we call this, love. I put Maybelline foundation over my brand new PUR primer and of course freshly moisturized and sun-screened skin. I did some really simple highlight with my e.l.f. highlight from almost 3 years ago, sorry face. I only applied my definitely expired highlight to my cheekbones and temple.
It made for a cute look! I do want to mention that the skirt rode up all night and I ditched the heels for our walk around the city after dinner *hello faithful sandals*, so the look wasn’t fool proof, but was it cute? Yes, absolutely. It made for a happy husband, a confident me, and a great dinner look.
How do you “wow” your partner?
What’s your favorite date night look?
I’m looking forward to reading all about you!
Until next time,

You are so pretty and also wonderful no wonder he was wowed. Wish mine we take me on a date. Sigh!!!!!
Thanks Mama! 😂 I’ll call Dad.
To wow my partner, all I have to do is change my hair. He loves my curls but he compliments every installment and protective look too. Besides hair, if I feel good about myself and I’m confident, he can sense it and is “wowed.”
