We haven't really been on any night dates in a long time, but I try to make more of an effort on our occasional day dates. If I were actually dating now though, I"d definitely make more of an effort - so I should probably up my game!
Do you get dressed up for dates with your SO?

If by dressed up you mean going from yoga pants to jeans and heels ... then yes.

I don't really have clothes for that right now, so no. I need to improve my wardrobe. It's awful.

Well our one date night since lo was born as to a restaurant with a dress code- yes. Otherwise I probably dress a bit bigger than usual but not by much. On the other hand, we frequently go hiking or to the beach for dates so it's not exactly a great time to pull out a dress and heels!

Yes, especially since we haven't made it out much since DD was born.

Oh yeah! I love having a reason to get dressed up and as a SAHM that was formerly a nanny, the only reason I ever have to get dressed is a date with my guy! I love it and he appreciates the effort, even though he often says something like "you realize we're just going to chili's..." lol

@Cole: oh we do having lots of hiking dates and I don't dress to the nines for those lol i didn't even think of that.

I would love to, but DH isn't a dressy guy.
I dress up when I go out with friends though!

Depends what kind of date I guess. We like to eat at casual places so normally it wouldn't make sense to dress up!

I dress up a little for a date, but nothing fancy unless the occasion really calls for it.

Mostly for our overnight date nights.
If we're just going to a movie, then no.

It depends on where we're going. If it's to the movies I don't and neither does he.

If we are going to dinner, yes, I enjoy wearing stuff I normally don't' get to wear!

Not really, where we live is a really casual farming community. I might wear eyeliner.
If we go into Portland, yes.

I make a point to dress up for dinner, even if it means pizza with my husband and son at the place down the road.
I will change into dark trouser jeans, put on ballet flats (weather permitting) and a nicer top (I usually have on a long sleeved tee and a fleece vest on the weekends).

No, but DH doesn't like to dress up. We also don't tend to go anywhere too dressy.
@looch: Your outfit sounds lovely. I hope to get back to that after the baby gets older. Right now its t shirt because he still drools and spits up and a ponytail so he won't pull my hair.

I stay in my work clothes, freshen up my makeup (aka remove smudges from under eyes and repowder nose) and, for a really special occasion, freshen up my hair. Date nights are always on weeknights. For something really special on the weekend I would dress up, yes.

More dressy than usual, but I never ever ever wear heels. It's just not my style!

We've never been on a date night. 
But on the two occasions we have gotten out together since E was born I absolutely dressed up, even though one was a trip to the local pub to watch football (yawn) and one was a trip to a grotty pub to watch a friend's band.

More so than usual, but not anything fancy. I'm a housewife, so I'm usually in really casual clothes most of the time, and no makeup. I make an effort to at least look nicer for going out with DH. If we plan to go somewhere that's nicer, I make more of an effort. Actually, I'm looking forward to getting back into my maternity clothes soon, because I have some nicer ones than my regular clothes!

I definitely try to put out a little more effort when we are doing something special. We went to a nice dinner last month and I put on some sassy heels that I wouldn't normally wear. I think he appreciated it

Yes, even if it's just to the cinema - I try to make an effort with hair, makeup and clothes.

It depends on what we're doing. If it's just a casual dinner then I just wear whatever I fee like. I wear makeup every day and I never leave the house in workout type clothes. But if we're going somewhere nicer, if it's a special occassion, has been planned for a while or if we have reservations somewhere nice on vacation then yes, I do dress up.

I try to but I'm so unhappy with my pp body I find it hard. I don't want to buy nice clothes in my new larger size...which means I don't have any nice clothes that fit
