Curvinistas! The new season brings new beginnings for some. First dates can be exciting, yet completely nerve-wracking! You'll have butterflies for your dream date, but also, what is there to wear?! My “first date attire” problem-solving skills were recently put to the test. And, of course, I had to share my experience.
