Many Shopistas get caught in the grey area, to dress up or not to dress up? That is the question. Over the years Shopistas have read pages and pages in ladies/gossip/mens magazines that guys love a lady to dress to impress, but not overdo it. This is often a fine line to tow as many Shopistas want to feel their best when going out on a date, which was once eloquently described in Sex And The City as 'a job interview with cocktails'.
Ensuring you look your best without appearing too high maintenance is key, as the one thing that confuses men more than beauty regimes is fashion. So if you love getting quirky with your look, it's often a good idea to leave the peacock feather hat at home on the first date. By no means does this mean you shouldn't be yourself or feel comfortable in how you dress, it just means that sometimes really outlandish outfits can be a little scary for a guy, unless he likes wearing the same garb as well!
This often leaves Shopista wondering what is appropriate for said date, depending on the activity and venue in which they are dining. Gaining prior knowledge of where you'll be dining will mean you'll have a fair idea of dress code, and also mean Shopista won't wind up wearing jeans in a 5 star establishment or a mini and fishnet tights while bowling with burgers.
