We’re halfway through the week and I’m SOOOO ready for the long weekend ahead. This is a very, very, very special weekend not only is it a weekend I get to spend with my family up in the mountains, it is also a weekend of celebrating 6 years with Tom! Yes, 6 years! He’s put up with me for 6 years! I’m as shocked as you are!
While we’ve spent every year celebrating up in Stratton since we’ve met, we have also taken to a few NYC traditions since we’ve moved here. For example, a dinner at Bowery Meat Company is on the itinerary for Thursday. No matter how many years that we’ve been together, these little date nights are some of my favorite memories with Tom and actually inspired one of my pieces in ThePreppyMAG Boutique.
I’ll be talking a bit more about my relationship with Tom tomorrow here on the blog, but today I’m sharing one of my favorite date night looks for a night with your babe in the city.
What I’m Wearing
Turtleneck (Gap) | Skirt (ThePreppyMAG Boutique) | Tights (J.Crew)
Booties (J.Crew) | Bag (Chanel)
There is no doubt that getting ‘dressed up’ in the winter is simply terrible. You’re either freezing or look like a pilgrim. Seriously, Tom tells me I have the best ‘pilgrim style’ in winter! 😂 To be honest, this date night outfit is definitely on the warmer side, but you can BET that I’ll be taking an Uber or Lyft. In these temps, real pants are required to take the subway or walk.
I usually describe my ‘date night’ style as feminine NYC chic. I tend to choose darker hues in the winter, but always add a pop of color or a print (like this Leopard skirt), to add a bit of frill and flair to an otherwise simple outfit. The darker hues match the subdue NYC venues and the pop of color or print speaks to my girly personality.
That said, my number one priority, is honestly comfort not only in what I’m actually wearing (not itchy, isn’t too tight, etc.) but also just comfortably confident. There is nothing in this world that I’m more confident in than Tom and mine’s relationship, but I definitely want to feel good when I’m out with him. I have nothing to prove so WHY wouldn’t I wear something that I feel amazing in?
This skirt is just EVERYTHING to me and is perfect for a romantic night out. Not only does it tap into a current trend right now (HELLO LEOPARD!), the wrap-around silhouette is so flattering. I love how the top of this skirt is more form-fitting and flairs a bit towards the bottom with a feminine ruffle. If you are that you need this skirt (because you totally do!), I recommend sizing up a bit so the elastic waistband isn’t too tight.
I’m so excited to wear this little number for tomorrow night’s festivities! Be sure to check back tomorrow to learn a little bit more about our relationship. 🙂
That leopard skirt is so darn cute. And with animal prints it is easy to do them wrong…loved that you kept the whole look simple. Super cute.
That skirt is so cute. I love leopard clothing and black goes so great with it.
That outfit is the cutest! It’s functional and looks comfortable so that is a win for win! date night ready!
Your outfit is amazing I need to go on a date. It’s been a long time, your skirt and that bag, I love.
The outfit looks great on you. Enjoy your date and have fun.
This is such a beautiful outfit! I wish I lived near NYC. I just love it there. Happy 6 years!
Omg I love this skirt! It is so flattering and I love the flare at the bottom. This skirt is perfect for a date night, the tie on the side just adds to the over all look. Thank you for sharing, I’ll be looking for my own.
Sometimes it may be really difficult to choose the right outfit for a date. You did really well! You look stunning and I love all of your photos.
I have this purse and love it! It is a great purse for a date night in the city because it’s classy and sexy!
This is such a great look on you! I think I would even consider wearing this, and I don’t wear skirts often.
I love absolutely everything about your outfit. It is classy and elegant, but also very fun!
I love your dress! 6 years is so good.. I hope you both stay happy and together 🙂
Wow! Such a class and a beautiful outfit you share to us! I love the skirt that has an animal print.
That is a very cute skirt which is something that is possibly difficult to find in the shops. You pulled off the look quite well.
Oh girl! Your skirt is absolute goals and I love the leopard prints. Your pair is also so great and sleek. I love it! Seems it’s time to get some leopard prints into my wardrobe.
Oh wow, you look so pretty, girl! I love how you combined the turtleneck, the skirt, and the boots. What a perfect look for a night out indeed!
I love this outfit so much, definitely something I would wear! The skirt is gorgeous x
Your outfit is really cure and perfect for a date night. Love the skirt! Not so great in winter though, so I’d definitely be taking an Uber to the restaurant. 🙂
Love, love, love your entir outfit, but you killed me with that animal print skiirt! OMG and the vuelos! Adorable!
You are looking gorgeous. So wow. The dress looks wonderful on you. Great post with awesome pictures lovely.
I love this outfit! This looks really cute but comfy at the same time. Good choice for a night out 🙂
I am loving tights with dresses/skirts this Winter (as if that’s a new thing for me … that’s my Winter wardrobe every year). Love this leopard skirt! I need a little more animal print in my closet I think 😉
Absolutely love this skirt. I feel like you can totally mix and match it with any dark color. It’s a fantastic trend.
This is such a cute look!! I love that leopard skirt os much!
This is such an adorable outfit. These prints are so very in right now and they look so sleek when paired with black.
I love the high waist on that skirt and the outfit as a whole. Leopard is tricky for me, I always really like it on other people and how it pulls an outfit together but I never feel like it looks right on me!
That outfit is the bomb!! You look so nice…
I love this outfit! The black tights are perfect for winter and cold date nights. And that skirt is so cute.
Looks great, but you must be absolutely freezing!
Super cute! I love the flowy skirt and the fact that its high waisted. Always more flattering!
