“I’ve been on so many blind dates, I should get a free dog.”
Wendy Liebman, b. 1961

My dear friend Jenn is currently swimming in men. Dating could be a full time job for her. Except, she already has a full time job. Which raises the question of what to wear so that you can go from business to pleasure without a complete costume change.

Doing Lunch
Lunch dates tend to run late, which means you’re either racing back to the office or stealing a cab from a tourist. You need something that allows you to look graceful while sprinting a block. A lightweight A-line skirt offers the mobility you need, but is also feminine and office appropriate.

Midweek Drinks
It’s best to not look like the “many” when you’re looking for the “one.” So leave your black suit at the cleaners when meeting up for cocktails. A non-suit suit is perfect for midweek drinks. A bold, but tailored jacket paired with dress pants keeps the look professional and distinctive.

Friday Dinner
If you’re going to get stuck late at the office, it will be when you have a Friday night date. Plan ahead of time and pair a classic dress with a blazer for work. Then, ditch the jacket and add a bright pashmina for dinner. Complete the day-to-night look with a day heel in a color that compliments your wrap.

This week we found shoes, shoes and more shoes to drool over:

The Wall Street Journal reporter Christina Binkley pens about the power of the stiletto. She says that if you look under many a powerful woman’s desk you’ll find a serious pair of heels…and she’s right. Power heel shoe designer Stuart Weitzman states “High heels indicate power.” Nobody ever said it would be easy – or comfortable – to be powerful and stylish, but we all know what a well-placed heel is capable of.

Splendora raves about Steve Madden Cabanna as the new official office shoes. These wood-heeled shoes give you a lot of extra inches plus the interior padding makes them relatively comfortable.

SheFinds shares how to sizzle in fabulous new shoes from Payless. Designer Lela Rose has signed up to design for Payless, following a trend started by Abaete, whose Fall 2007 line is already available. Two fabulous, guilt-free finds; The Flavin Platform, an adorable metallic sandal, and the Debra Wedge, a performance shoe that’s all business and will look great with the bold lines of fall suits.

FabSugar spotlights Stuart Weitzman’s Oval Metallic Flat Sandal, which can be dressed up or dressed down. These shoes are great if you prefer to wear flats that are fun for tooling around everyday, or having lunch with the girls.

StyleHive bubbles about Seychelles D’Orsay Pump, a sassy peep-toe pump, punched up with color. The bright yellow adds a gorgeous unexpected pop to neutral pieces. If you’re feeling a little less adventurous, take the classic route with black or go mod with shiny white. The effortless style goes with everything from tailored pencil skirts to wide leg trousers.
