There are very few things in the fashion world that I would claim to be a pro at. I mean very few things. However, creating a versatile outfit is something I truly believe I am good at. Especially when it comes to trying to dress for an event you aren’t 100% sure about what to wear, or a day that could really lead to anything. Your outfit must be prepared for that anything that come along. These always seem to be the outfits that I am most proud of.
Creating an outfit that looks cute, can keep you warm, but not too warm should the sun be shining. An outfit that has great shoes that are comfortable enough to be worn with lots of walking if the occasion should arise. An outfit that can make you look dressy enough for a restaurant, but comfortable enough for a picnic. It’s a challenge! Yet, when you find an outfit that can do all of these things it really is a winner.
This here is my go-to versatile outfit. I named it my go-to date outfit since these types of outfits are really great for the random dates. Even when a girl knows the plan for a date and can dress for it, dates always seem to change (at least in my experience). I like to be prepared for anything and be able to roll with whatever. Whether that mean a fancy place to eat, or bowling after dinner I want to be able to feel capable in my outfit. Seriously a good outfit can really help your confidence!
Versatile outfits really work well for that. My go-to is always a nice blouse and a cardigan. I’m always cold and so a cardigan is a must have for me. Walking into any well air conditioned building usually means I’m going to get a chill so I carry a sweater with my everywhere. I’ve talked about the love I have for a great cardigan before, but really it’s so true. A light weight sweater that still keeps you warm is such a great find. I’m guilty of wearing this one far to often!

Love that top!!! I have one similar to it. Rust is one of my favorite colors for Fall. I am all about wearing clothing that is comfortable.
Thanks for reading Mistle!

Pretty lady! I love a good versatile outfit for dates. On one hand you look so put together and on the other hand, you have nothing restricting you from any type of date (ummm…. like heels to the batting cages??). So cute!

Yes the batting cages! I totally almost mentioned that.
