The Date Outfit

I think there is a quintessential date outfit, or at least that's what movies and magazines tell me.  A woman should wear high heels and a form fitting dress.  I have more problems with this than I would like to admit.  Let's just run through my top three:
  1. I like to be comfortable, and french fries are great date food.  No one is embarrassed while eating french fries.  That form fitting dress doesn't seem as appealing after a few friendly beers and fries.
  2. Aren't form fitting dresses what sluts wear?  How do I distinguish myself from them?  Is there some kind of "form fitting dresses for tall girls" store?  Likewise is there a "tall dudes for tall girls" store because I'm not trying to tower over boys in my high heels.
  3. In the winter, I like to wear pants.  Then no one has to touch prickly legs due to a bad case of goosebumps caused by my decision to wear a cute skirt and tights.  Over share, but come on ladies, you've been there too.  Don't pretend like you haven't.
 My favorite kinds of dates are:
  • after work, so I just get to wear cute, but work appropriate clothes
  • at bars where no one would dream of wearing a dress much less a form fitting dress
  • with a boy who isn't actually that into heels and bandage dresses
I'm not Kim Kardashian, so I'm not going to pretend like I am.  I'm not really sure why I think a bandage dress is a date night look, but it's never gonna happen.  Maybe this is why I'm single.  For further insight, please watch the pilot of The Mindy Project.

Is this a photo of Kim Kardashian or tips on what to wear on a date from Glamour magazine?
