You only get one chance to make a first impression. So leave the sequins, mini skirts and low cut tops in the closet...tonight you dress for them!
When meeting the parents most gals typically grab the basic skirt, blouse and pumps...BORING! You are not boring...YOU are fabulous! So why when meeting his parents do you opt to be the marm instead of the endearingly chic gal?!?
If the night or day is casual it doesn't mean for you. You are not part of the family yet and thus showing up in your favorite jeans, sweatshirt and sneakers is absolutely unforgivable and inappropriate. Save that look for way down the road when you go to a local football game and are maybe playing (even then I personally wouldn't wear that outfit because there will be friends of friends...I digress).
When selecting your outfit:
- Monochromatic: a solid color look is not only flattering but has an air of class. Think: Audrey Hepburn or Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Stick with neutral shades that accentuate your natural skin tone: beige, black, navy or greys.
- Personality: be true to who you are by incorporating a pop of color or an accessory of interest. Add color with your shoes, handbag or jewelry. Coordinate well...she WILL notice!
- Remember: you are dressing for them...but with you. Don't steer too far away from your usual fashion choices that they won't recognize you at the market! Select your attire based on what best resembles your personality, style and flair.
Comfortable equals confidence...and before walking out the door smile and know...You are good enough!
