Wardrobe Wisdom
Here’s the golden rule: Keep it simple, stylish, and you. Go for two outfits – one that screams “date night glam” and one that’s more “weekend casual vibes.” Bonus points if both make you feel like a total badass. Dig into your closet for a tried-and-true favorite or treat yourself to something new (because you deserve it). And please, for the love of golden hour, skip the shoes that hurt after 10 minutes. We’ll be walking, twirling, and moving – a lot.
