Kelly’s Chic Under $100: Spring Date Night.

Ooof… dating! What do you wear on first dates? What about second dates? Skin or no? Dress or pants? Color or black?

These are the questions I have been asking myself over the past few weeks. I’m pretty recently single and am trying to navigate the minefield that is dating. I’ve even texted Grace a couple of times wondering… what in the heck do you put on profile bios? What about your Instagram bio? It’s a lot of pressure, and sometimes I feel the only good thing about dates are getting dressed up and getting to meet someone new.

Anyway, it seems that springtime is dating season,  and there are so many couples out & about.Whether your date is with a beau, a stranger, or just a close girlfriend, I’ve rounded up a ton of picks that will fit within an under $100 budget. This lace top, for example, is incredible, and I can’t get over this dress that is a dead ringer for Reformation at a fraction of the cost.

Xx

    I totally know the feeling! I was on Match.com (and that’s where I ended up meeting my husband!!), and picking out my outfits was the toughest part! I still remember what I wore on our first date (in March of 2013!). I did an orange dress, high boots and tights, and a statement necklace. Obviously, it’s warmer now, lol, but any of your choices above will be absolutely perfect! I love the mango off-the-shoulder dress soooo much!
