Gotta Love a Bit of Zip Action Part 1

Today I did a bit of retail therapy. I was in need of an outfit for a date I am going on next week. I had decided that a skirt/top combo would be suitable, as he has given me an insight of what dress code would suit the evening he has planned.  Which of course is the most important thing of it all  - what I am going to wear!!! Something nice but not full on dressy, which if you new me would be hard, as my casual is probably most peoples done up to the nines outfit. 

“I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink.” - Audrey Hepburn 

So I have been constantly annoying all my friends with what I am going to wear. In the end I couldn't decided on an outfit in my wardrobe as it was either too dressy, part of the outfit worn before when I have been with him (I know pathetic), or too casual for me that I wouldn't feel sexy and good about myself, which I think is a huge part of a date, that you yourself feels sexy, confident and good. 

"Beauty and femininity are ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won't like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it's based on femininity." - Marilyn Monroe

So I hit the shops and find this little gem. 

Found this perfect skirt from H&M, all I need to do now is look through my wardrobe to find a top to go with it and most importantly the shoes. 

I will do part two for what I wore and of course the gossip.
