Dear Stylediary

West coast editor Patricia Handschiegel is our go-to guru for all of those tricky questions that even our monthly slew of magazines won’t seem to tackle. But here’s one that even the most style-savvy among us will run into at some point-- what to wear on that first date! Fashion places so much emphasis on expressing ourselves through our clothes, but when it comes to dating, it’s usually better to not put it all out there at once, am I right? Click on over to Stylediary to see what Patricia has to say, and who knows, maybe you won’t rush out the door having left the entire contents of your closet in a heap on your bed.

Fact: West coast editor Patricia Handschiegel can pull an outfit together faster than we can say “Stylediary.” Also a fact: A Valentine’s Day date can throw off anyone’s ability to put together a winning outfit, style skill level aside. So it’s no surprise that this week’s question is about how to look fab for a date on February 14th! As if finding an outfit for a “normal” date isn’t difficult enough, along with Valentine’s Day comes the pressure of pink, red, and Hallmark, all of which combine for one sweet but stressful occasion. Then there’s the fact that the stores only tell us what we should be wearing after the date, but we’d like a few more ideas than that! Click on over to Stylediary and see what Patricia has to say!
