Coast ‘Dating Dress Diary’ – Turning a disaster into a triumph
Is there any occasion more frightening, more butterfly inducing, than a first date? Everything needs to be perfect – the location, the atmosphere, and of course, your outfit. Choose the right thing to wear and you may find yourself in first date heaven. Pick wrongly from your closet, and you hit first date hell. It has happened to the best of us – me included. I was once asked to accompany a very cute young man to a wedding reception.
