Fall Date Night Outfit

November 16, 2018

 

Fall Date Night OOTDDate night outfits are always fun to plan! I LOVE getting dressed up for date night. Life is crazy, to slow down and spend time with Mark is my favorite things to do. I honestly don’t care whether we go on a bike ride, walk through the park, a fancy dinner or out to a movie night. I always try to get dressed up. It makes date night fun and special. Does anyone else do this? It doesn’t mean I go out and but a new outfit for every date night. I definitely like to use what I have to get a little dressy!

OOTD Fall Date NightThis fitted shirt looks great with jeans but I wanted to dress it up for a date night outfit. One item I had on my Thrift Pieces I Want to Find list were skirts. Last week I posted about the vintage wool Plaid Skirt I thrifted that is a great fall addition to my wardrobe. This black skirt is also vintage and wool, perfect for those chilly fall evenings. For only $5.99 I added a piece that can easily pair with a sweater or blouse or even tights with flats. A great versatile wardrobe addition for fall.

Floral shoes for fallI’ve had these floral shoes in my closet for a while now. I mostly wear them for weddings or to dress up jeans. The moody florals look great with the burgundy sweater and black skirt. Adds a pop of colour to the date night outfit. Plus they are comfortable! If I am going to wear heels I need to walk miles in them all night long without my feet hurting. Whenever I buy a new pair of heels I always walk around in the store. To make sure they are easy to walk in.

Fall date night OOTDAn easy way to dress up an outfit is to add a large shawl like this Oak + Fort piece I thrifted. It works great layered under a jacket but on it’s own is perfect for a date night outfit. When the shawl is paired with a sweater it is perfect for this fall weather. I used to own a few poncho type cover ups and they were frustrating since you had to pull them over your head. This is a great alternative as its warm, simply slides over your shoulders and shows off your outfit.

Swipe to see the inside of the rainbow cupcakes. Honestly, so easy, and they look great! Next time, I might reverse it and make rainbow icing and plain cupcakes, a bigger wow factor. BUT three year olds LOVE sprinkles, so this worked.

THREE! 🦄 🎉 🌈 I had a lot of fun with thi THREE! 🦄 🎉 🌈

I had a lot of fun with this one! Do you think I accomplished this on a budget? You bet I did! The only thing about being on a budget is that it can be a bit more labour intensive. 

I used cookie cutters again, which makes for easy prep. I cut out all of the sandwich pieces in advance and froze the rice krispies oncee they were made. The rainbow cupcakes I baked in advance and froze, so it was easy to take them out and ice the day of the party.

As for the decor, from the dollar store: 3 bags of balloons, 10 streamer rolls, and 2 unicorn felt banners. Plus leftover string, tape and a Happy Birthday kit, which included the foil balloons and rainbow balloons. Total: $32.50

Now that might not be the cheapest decor but when balloon garlands sell for hundreds of dollars, I think that's a pretty good budget
Yup, I'm that mom. 🫣😂 My kids will be embar Yup, I'm that mom. 🫣😂

My kids will be embarrassed by my enthusiasm one day, but until then, I'm bringing it full force. A few friends sent me photos, and I looked like this in most of them.
TWO! I thought we'd have a big party to FINALLY ce TWO! I thought we'd have a big party to FINALLY celebrate our girls last year but then another lockdown. We had a few family members, and it was nice, but I still went all out! 

Super affordable decor: cookie cutters, $1.99 plants, and butterflies (I think this was a set of 50 for not that much). I also bought secondhand butterfly wings for the kids to wear. 

The cookie cutter adds a level of fun to the food and a bit of themed decor to the table. Butterflies were easy to add throughout our house. Plants ended up outside on our front stoop afterward. 

PS I won the balloon garland! That would be a big party splurge.
The kids have taken over the bath! I wanted to fin The kids have taken over the bath! I wanted to find a nice storage solution for my bath essentials that didn't take up a lot of room. To find what I needed, I headed to the kitchen section of my local Salvation Army thrift store. You might not think the kitchen area is where you'd find bath supplies, but I was looking for something different.

I was so happy to find this heavy cheese plate with dome. It would keep all my bath supplies safe from small children. Then I fell in love with this terracotta pot for my Epsom salts, along with a porcelain spoon, simple candle, and small glass vessel for the matches.

The matches I found at the dollar store, they were long bbq matches, so I cut them to size and taped the striker onto the bottom. I love how it turned out, and I was able to use this secondhand glass jar in a new way!

Don't worry, the kids' toys are still there, I thrifted a small little basket to keep everything contained and in ONE corner.

9 years ago, I went on a "coffee date" at 7 o'clock in the evening. He drank a coffee while I sipped tea, and we talked. He was funny, full of stories, and had a lovely energy about him plus a laugh to fill a room. Our coffee date moved up the street as we discussed our mutual love for nachos, so we went and found some. (Rip Foundation 😢)

We still love nachos, evening coffee dates (more like tea or sparkling water now), and our life has grown so much. 

I used to make jokes about our age difference, and Mark would always say, "I'm an old fart and you're young at heart." Which basically means we're the same age, or maybe Mark's actually older than me. 🤔
