I know that around these parts I wear jeans and what’s comfortable most of the time (especially right now). But, I wanted to prove that I do get gussied up every now and then. 🙂

When husband and I stayed at the Fearrington Inn this past weekend, we went to an AMAZING dinner at the Fearrington House Restaurant. It was a 3-4 course meal, and although I couldn’t pronounce pretty much anything I ate, it was AMAZING and SO good.

Plus, with Valentine’s Day quickly approaching (nine days!) I thought some of y’all might like some outfit inspiration.

Now, I’ve had this red silk dress in my closet for at least five years and I never wear it. I got it randomly for like $10 from the Banana Republic outlet back in early 2008 and have always had trouble styling it. It’s just a boxier dress and so I always felt shapeless in it when I wore it.

Well, the loose style is PERFECT right now to mask my baby belly and make me feel feminine at the same time. Plus, by adding the blazer, it gave the dress that structure I needed. 🙂

Snapped a photo in the room before we left.

Me and husband after dinner:

And because I have no shame, I had to include this blooper photo of me and my husband: {{Blazer: Forever 21
{{Dress: Banana Republic Outlet (old, similar here)
{{Shoes: Target
{{Bag: Valentino (bought in Italy six years ago, I drool over this one though).

What about you? What’s your go-to date night style? Do you have any “fancier” pieces in your closet that you have trouble styling?
