i love scallops (clothing and food)! #nopunintended

i have a problem. every time i see a scalloped piece of clothing, i get very excited (obviously it doesn't take much). this scalloped skirt and neck tie blouse are great pieces for work but also comfortable enough to take you into date night. after work, add some colorful statement earrings/rings and a playful chained crossbody bag and you will be G2G (good to go).

some tips for a date night look:

keep it simple, wear something comfortable (aka: not tight, revealing, low cut, or short)!!
all you need is a little blush
emphasize eyes with eyeliner -- cateye or the feline flick (if you don't know, just google it). no need for eyeshadow either. (eyeshadow? what? how do you put that on?!).
crossbody handbag = fuss-free
save the bold lip for another day
loose wavy curls always make a fun flirtatious look
