Since I started dating last year, I found myself going out a lot. Although we don't go out on a real nice date every night, there were times when our night out called for a date night outfit. Sometimes it's just a jeans and dressy top night and sometimes it's kind of in between casual and dressy and this romper from Target, believe it or not, in my opinion falls in the latter category. Depending on the romper, you can actually dress it up or down. With this particular one, wearing a pair of wedges or thong sandals will make it totally casual for a summer look. While dressing it up is just a matter of wearing a pair of sexy open toe sandals or pumps like I did.

Off-the-Shoulder trend is still here for the duration of summer. I know many of you ladies are a huge fan so I put together some more choices of off-the-shoulder/cold shoulder rompers below, mostly below $50 and below $100.

Now an outfit is not complete without accessories. I have a new favorite brand when it comes to handbags and that's Dolce Vita Handbags – they're great quality handbags and reasonable prices. If you haven't seen my favorite bucket bag from them, check it out here. They do have other styles that you might love so be sure to go check out their website at www.dolcevitahandbags.com.

By the way, next weekend, I will be in New Orleans for the Essence Music Festival. If you're in the New Orleans or surrounding area and interested in going, I have teamed up with Essence to giveaway a pair of tickets to the July 3rd concert. Each ticket is worth approximately $300 each! Scroll down below to join! Giveaway ends this Saturday, June 25th and winner will be contacted via email.
