Casual Look For A Movie And Dinner Date
Casual Look For A Movie And Dinner Date
As I have mentioned a few times on my blog stories in the past, my husband and I enjoy seeing good movies together, especially for casual date nights. Having said that good movies don’t seem to come along as often any more. These days it seems like a lot of movies are made with certain formula that revolves around similar boring story lines and action sequences just so Hollywood can sell lots of tickets, this seems especially true for a number of recent action movies.
So when my husband mentioned to me that he really wanted to see “Mad Max Fury Road” I was somewhat hesitant. Tom Hardy is one of his favorite actors and he loved the first two original “Mad Max Movies” that came out back in the early eighties. He showed me the movie trailer which looked amazing, but I was a still apprehensive about seeing it. As I have gotten older, action movies are not that enjoyable for me and I tend to like dramas, period pieces, foreign movies, documentaries and comedies if they are good. But Tim really wanted to see this movie and I had to agree the trailer did look pretty good.
So we decided to head out Saturday night get some dinner and see the movie. I had also seen the original Mad Max movies with Mel Gibson but to be honest I really didn’t remember them well. I just remember, my teenage girlfriends and I thought Mel Gibson was so hot at the time.
The new “Mad Max Fury Road” movie is a mesmerizing ride of non-stop action and imaginative scenery, combined with great acting especially by Charlize Theron from beginning to end. The cinematography and visual effects are amazing and you can’t help but be drawn in. I was pleasantly surprised that I actually really enjoyed this movie. It could be because it is so much more creative than any other action movie I have ever seen. Having said that I do have to say it will not be for everyone and it does contain violence and some disturbing scenes. Nevertheless I would still highly recommend this movie if you or your significant other like action packed films.
So for my casual look for this dinner/movie date night with Tim, I wore my favorite jeans with a long sleeve tee and my Zara jacket which I wore on the blog the first time here. It has been rainy and much cooler here in Los Angeles over the last few weeks, so it was a good excuse for me to add one of our new scarves to keep me warm. We have added a number of really cute new scarves this weekend to our web site, so please be sure to take a look at them if you get a chance here. To add some color to the outfit, I added my comfy red Gucci ballerina flats that I wear all the time and one of our new two tiered necklaces that I love and I was ready to go.
You can get the scarf here and the necklace here.

Another great look Nora, the camel jacket goes so well with denim & white not to mention your beautiful scarf.
We’ve not seen the new Mad Max film yet but hubby & son are desperate to go so no doubt we’ll be paying the cinema a visit soon!

I call those types of movies Man Movies. I’m usually dragged out by my husband and sons to see them. I’ll have to say I’m not really a fan of this type of movie, but I am a fan of your outfit choice. Dinner and movies with the hubby is a nice date and a nice time to dress casually but not too casual. It’s always good to keep ourselves stylish regardless to what we’re doing. I love the fit of the jacket. It has a slight swing affect.

Hi Glenda,
You are absolutely right that they are “man movies”, that’s why I usually dont go to them or like them but I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I am glad you like the outfit though 🙂 Thanks for stopping by.

Hi, Do you ever do long sleeve jackets?
-
Hi Gigi,
Currently we have the Madison, Haley and Sophia jackets that are long sleeve and we will be doing more long sleeves for next fall. I agree that we need to add more long sleeves to our collection. Thanks for asking and I hope you will check back with us.

That jacket really blends nicely with the light tan in your scarf. I have been looking for a tassel scarf for this spring and into the summer (but, its going to need to be light and airy!). Such a pretty necklace paired with the scarf, too! I haven’t been out to the movies with my husband in a month, we really need to go soon… there just hasn’t been anything out that we want to see lately.

Hi Carrie,
There really aren’t that many good movies to see right now, but this one I thought was pretty good if you like action packed movies. I am so glad you like the outfit and the scarf is actully made of a light with gauze fabric so it is pretty lightweight. Thanks for stopping by.

That jacket is amazing–I need it! I love the casual, yet structured look of it.

I would be one probably to not see Mad Max, but would go if my hubby wanted to, then sometimes I end up liking it. My hubby loves the superhero movies and I am usually hesitant, then I like them afterward. Sounded like a fun time. You always look amazing in jeans and love seeing the red flats with the beautiful neutral jacket!

Easy with a bit of breezy blue. I have been having a flirtation with blue this spring and my usual black and white is jealous. You look chic and comfortable and the perfect pick for a movie.

I also remember the Mel Gibson Mad Max movies but I don’t remember liking them to much so I had no intentions of seeing the modern ones. Your outfit is perfect for the cinema, your jeans fit you beautifully and your scarf really steals the show. You look great.
