S is taking me on a coffee date tomorrow. I want to look cute, but not overly dressed up (b/c it's just coffee), so I'm stumped on what to wear. Halp.

Hrmm, I'd probably do a skirt or pants with a blouse. Kind of depends on weather too

I was going to get a new cute top to wear, but everything in the stores right now is all loose-fitting flowy stuff which definitely does NOT work with my body shape. I need structured things. Or maybe a high waisted skirt to tuck in one of my flowy tops? Where's a good place to get a cute skirt? |

I think you would look adorable in absolutely anything. But given the heat, my recommendations would be: - a sundress - a shorts-romper - something like this, with a high waisted voluminous bottom (target, old navy, gap, banana republic) and a fitted tank or tee, dressed up with cute jewelry and booties or wedges:  |

^^ the volume on bottom would help balance out your perceived wide shoulders.
Is it weird that I think of you every morning that I put on eyeliner? Did you make any progress on figuring it out?

Sorry. Meant to suggest places to shop also. Do you guys have a Francesca’s? It isn’t a place I shop regularly, but I seem to do well if I am just looking for a cute outfit for a date night.
I won’t lie, I get a ton of my clothes from old navy. They are cheap and typically somewhat stylish. They would be good for a sundress. But I do think you are right that they tend to be a more flowy place than structured.
What about H&M?

I was going to say paper bag shorts and a fitted tank. Great minds!

That is a cute outfit! Might have to check out Old Navy between clients today.

Target and Old Navy were both a bust. Target has similar items, but the tank was basically see through, and the shorts were a camel brown that I didn't love on me.

I did figure it out! I use a smudge brush to smooth out the upper line and then tight-line on the bottom if I want more pop. |
