I can dress it down with boots or up with heels.</p> <p>If you're going to have a car at the hotel, one of my favorite romantic restaurants in Atlanta is Anis in Buckhead. It's very cozy, tucked into a little house on a side street, and they serve amazing French food. It's also not super fancy or super expensive. :) Other places you might want to check out: Ponce City Market (I haven't been yet myself but I really want to go), Front Page News (not that fancy but would be walking distance from the hotel and the patio is great for drinks/dessert), Cafe Intermezzo (also close by and they have amazing desserts/coffee), Ecco (not too far but may not be walking distance, haven't been but have heard it's great).</p> <p>I work in Midtown, just a couple of streets over from the Four Seasons, so let me know if you have any questions about the area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fancy-date-night-what-to-wear#post-2706684 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 21:32:37 +0000 looch 2706684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I were going to wear something from my closet, I'd put on a pair of black satin printed pants (the j crew violet poppy print), a black jewel neck fringed blazer over a black sequined tank. Then I'd put on my jeweled Badgley Mishka heels and my crazy mixed media collar necklace and call it done.</p> <p>For the record, I don't own an LBD or nude heels, so I couldn't even put those on if I wanted to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fancy-date-night-what-to-wear#post-2706683 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 21:30:47 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 2706683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: the four seasons! I also made a reservation at empire state South but that's just because we used to live in Athens so I really like Hugh Acheson. But I would love some more suggestions! Somewhere cozy and not too club-ish would be my preference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fancy-date-night-what-to-wear#post-2706641 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 20:05:42 +0000 Smurfette 2706641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sketchbook: what's your budget? Where are you staying? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fancy-date-night-what-to-wear#post-2706611 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 18:50:21 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2706611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sketchbook: Sadly, no. We have stayed in our suburban cocoon since relocating here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fancy-date-night-what-to-wear#post-2706604 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 18:43:13 +0000 yoursilverlining 2706604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LBD, nude heels, statement necklace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fancy-date-night-what-to-wear#post-2706599 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 18:36:46 +0000 youboots 2706599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd rent a cocktail dress from Rent the Runway </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fancy-date-night-what-to-wear#post-2706594 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 18:28:12 +0000 Bibliolove 2706594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sketchbook: I have a black dress from Gap that is my trusty LBD. It's old though! I also have a blue wrap dress from Banana Republic that I love. Depends on how fancy you want to get, but Nordstrom has some nice options too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fancy-date-night-what-to-wear#post-2706592 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 18:23:06 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 2706592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: that's actually a good idea! I am not hip at all. BTW you have any good Atlanta restaurant recommendations?</p> <p>@CatchAFallingStar: bless you! I will dig into these ASAP... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fancy-date-night-what-to-wear#post-2706591 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 18:22:06 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 2706591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bibliolove: any suggestions for brands, etc? is it sad that my only black dresses are like, funeral garb? I am wardrobe impoverished it would seem! DH and I actually do have one black tie thing we go to every year but it requires something fairly modest since there are a lot of old folks and his coworkers I usually rent a dress for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fancy-date-night-what-to-wear#post-2706588 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 18:19:57 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2706588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd wear something like this...<br /> <a href="https://www.modcloth.com/shop/party-dresses/stately-by-nature-a-line-dress/10092601.html?dwvar_10092601_color=BLK&#038;cgid=party_dresses_108#start=28" rel="nofollow">https://www.modcloth.com/shop/party-dresses/stately-by-nature-a-line-dress/10092601.html?dwvar_10092601_color=BLK&#038;cgid=party_dresses_108#start=28</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.modcloth.com/shop/little-black-dress/bespeak-mystique-a-line-dress/10085853.html?cgid=little_black_dress_241&#038;dwvar_10085853_color=BLK#start=16" rel="nofollow">https://www.modcloth.com/shop/little-black-dress/bespeak-mystique-a-line-dress/10085853.html?cgid=little_black_dress_241&#038;dwvar_10085853_color=BLK#start=16</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.modcloth.com/shop/little-black-dress/seine-my-love-to-you-long-sleeve-dress/10072926.html?dwvar_10072926_color=BLK&#038;cgid=little_black_dress_241#start=36" rel="nofollow">https://www.modcloth.com/shop/little-black-dress/seine-my-love-to-you-long-sleeve-dress/10072926.html?dwvar_10072926_color=BLK&#038;cgid=little_black_dress_241#start=36</a></p> <p>Have fun!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fancy-date-night-what-to-wear#post-2706585 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 18:13:51 +0000 Bibliolove 2706585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When in doubt, I wear a black dress with my favorite heels. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fancy-date-night-what-to-wear#post-2706582 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 18:09:29 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2706582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this probably sounds weird, but The Real Housewives of Pick A City seem to do fancy dinners right. Do you watch any of the franchises and like a certain housewife's style? If I were buying new I would look for Rachel Roy. And for a shoe a chunky heel or embellished sandal with skinny heel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fancy-date-night-what-to-wear#post-2706574 Mon, 06 Mar 2017 17:44:34 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 2706574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH and I really only ever have casual dates these days! As in pizza and beer. I am planning him a surprise trip to the city and sprang for a fancy hotel. I figured we would meet up at the hotel bar and have dinner somewhere. I have no idea how people dress for fancy date nights these days! I don't want to look like I'm going to a wedding you know? But also don't want to look like a grown-up dressed up like a teenager. </p>
