Because boo and I live in different cities, we don’t get to see each other as much as we would like. We have talked about moving in together and when the time is right we will but for now if I am to be totally honest I am still enjoying the freedom of having my own place, a place I can call my own, a place where I can go chill and have my me time without thinking of the needs of others and I know it’s not always like that when people live together but I am that type of person putting the needs of others before my own.
Every time boo and I meet up we either have a night in, chat like tomorrow will never come or watch movies and on occasions he will be busy on he’s laptop working whilst I am busy on mine blogging (as you do) or if not blogging I am catching up on my K-Dramas. There are other rare occasions that we don’t do any of the above and instead opt for a night out for dinner (mostly) or cinema, provided we both have something we want to see.
This gone weekend was such a weekend (Saturday night to be exact), we wanted to have a date night (though we invited he’s brother and their friend) and went out to Jimmy’s an all-you-can-eat-restaurant. I love these places but also hate them, love them because I am not limited to what I can eat hate them because my eyes are always bigger than my stomach and they can be quite expensive for a picky eater like me.
Though me and boo had decided that we would go out Saturday night he didn’t tell me how early we had to go until 30 minutes before which for someone like me is ample time but I was lost in my blogging all day that I hadn’t showered yet so had to rush.
I decided since I was more likely to spill on myself at the all you can eat place I would just throw together a simple outfit which I wouldn’t shed too many tears if it got ruined by some Indian curry or accidentally dropped some kimchi salad on myself.
I chose to wear a pair of skinny jeans, black top with navy blue cardigan, pumps and my favorite military Jacket. I am not a fashionista but boo liked the outfit and that’s all the verification I needed since I had already approved it myself.
As I mentioned in my February and March 2016 goals, I want to be more intentional in my relationship with boo and one of the ways I am doing that is making time for us to enjoy things like date night or movie night or just a good night in.
What do you think of date night outfit? What is your go to date night attire?

Miranda says
I am in my pj’s by then time I am back from work

I absolutely love the color of those skinny jeans. I don’t think I would be able to wear them to an all-you-can-eat restaurant though. Your food photos are amazing!

Travel Blogger says
Jimmy’s Restaurant Luton looks so good! I totally understand loving your freedom! I loved it when I had a place all my own. It was great when I moved in with my husband but a part of me still missing have a space that is just mine.
Love that military jacket!
Miranda says
Thanks so much, the freedom is amazing but I do want to move in with boo at some point
Alyssa @ The Plucky Introvert says
Cute outfit! And my husband would LOVE to have good sushi like that. We moved to a place that doesn’t really have any good sushi restaurants and he’s pretty sad about it because its his favorite food. I need to schedule a date night for us soon, too.
Miranda says
Thanks so much
Laura @ dearbearandbeany says
Love the outfit, especially the jacket. I am a big fan of this style of jacket. I am a bit of a fussy eater, but getting better with age!
Miranda says
Thanks Laura, I should be getting better with age too but maybe when I have kids
Georgina prince says
I really like the outfit, especially the military styled jacket. The jeans are really lovely as well.

Aw how long have you and your boyfriend been together. I think it is the perfect date night outfit especially the striped shirt!
Miranda says
8yrs going on 40 lol and thanks
BloggerMummyLauren says
Sounds like a great date night, I love an all you can eat because they always have something I like (I’m a real fussy eater!). But like you, I always have eyes bigger than my belly and I eat until I’m ready to burst.
Love the military jacket!
Miranda says
Hahahaha thanks Lauren, those all you can eat places mess us picky eaters up
Jenni says
I love that outfit. The food looks delicious. I can’t remember the last time we had a date night but we are going to a party on Saturday which is the first time in 13 months without a baby x
Miranda says
Awww bless I can not even imagine
Emma T says
I’ve not been on a date night since probably about our 3rd wedding anniversary. We only ever go out with friends, but I live in jeans so will always be in those and a nice top and boots. I like the burgundy trousers.
Miranda says
And I am sure you rock the jeans and cute tops with boots 😊
Georgia says
Oh I don’t remember the last time me and my boyfriend had a date night!! That meal looks amazing and the dessert looks sooo delicious! Love the jacket with the outfit, I’ve been searching for a khaki green utility jacket for the summer!!
Miranda says
Date nights are rare these days as we are all so busy but it’s nice once in a while to just sit back and relax on a night out
Rachel says
Now that is a great outfit, though I am still drooling over those desserts, I love the purple trousers x
Miranda says
Awww thanks so much. The desserts were delicious
Elizabeth says
I love that jacket! Your meal looks awesome too. It must be difficult being so far apart, but I can see the appeal!
Miranda says
Thanks so much, yes it’s hard but it’s good too
Emily says
This is a perfect date night outfit! And I love an all you can eat restaurant too, especially when there are so many different food types!

Miranda says
Thanks, I love different varieties of food
Laura @ Dot Makes 4 says
Date nights are great, although I can’t remember the last date night my hubby and I had!
I love your date night outfit 🙂
Miranda says
Thanks Laura, date nights are great indeed
Dean of Little Steps says
I don’t even remember the last time my husband and I went out on a date! 😉 Love your choice of outfits, and food looked really yum. Though I’m not very good with “eat all you can” I’m usually stuffed after a few dishes, unless I eat small portions 😉 x
Miranda says
I know what you mean, I am not big on all you can eat places because of that but then again I do love them because my options are not limited
Olivia Thristan says
I was totally looking for a green jacket like this and you’ve helped me solve my problem yay! I also love Ice cream ;D xx
Miranda says
I am glad to hear that, I am a huge ice cream lover

This is a lovely outfit. Love the colour of the jeans. We hardly ever have date night unless we get a baby sitter which seems to be very rare these days
Miranda says
Awe thanks SIL, you could always send my nephew to me for the weekends lol
Emma White says

Miranda says
Awww I am sure that will be lovely

Date nights are always good, a nice chance to get out and have a change of scenery. Love the outfit, I want to get a pair of trousers that colour x
Miranda says
Thanks Rhian, a change of scenery is always good and date night is just the perfect excuse for it lol
