My ideal date night has changed over the years. It used to involve a late night dinner, followed by an even later round of cocktails….. Now though, it typically involves an evening on the couch, with a glass of wine, and a good Pandora station with TJ. Let’s be honest, at the end of the day, we’re both typically pretty exhausted. And, if it isn’t a relaxing evening in, we typically opt to get a babysitter for an invigorating morning spin class and breakfast date (my, how times have changed…. #ThisIsThirty….). Yet, when TJ and I were out at all the wedding festivities last weekend, we both turned to each other and remarked on how fun it was getting dolled up and heading out for a fun evening. Of course, a tux and fancy slip dress aren’t realistic for a weekend date night (although that would be a fun one….), but a perfectly slouchy open knit and cute little berry colored kitten mules are…..

Nordstrom has so many great summer to fall date night options in the trend department (one of my favorite departments for their quality, price point, + styles) so when I stumbled across this open knit I knew it would be the perfect summer to fall option…. pair it as is here, in the summer, for a date night of sipping rosé on an outdoor patio, and in the fall toss it on with distressed jeans (own these in grey and love them) and the same mules, or a cute pair of booties, for a casual date night out. It’s a versatile piece, so the options are quite endless (you could even wear it as a cover-up now….). And, because date night’s call for something a little more special than your everyday uniform, I couldn’t resist these fun tassel earrings. So. Fun.

A few other great fall to summer knits from the trend department that I personally love include this longline cardigan (I own it in white), my favorite side tie grey cardigan (which was recently completely restocked), open knit cold shoulder sweater, incredibly soft pullover, and this gorgeous chunky knit cardigan (which I own in blush). So, while I’m not looking to push summer out quite yet, I don’t mind incorporating a few multi-season friendly pieces here and there…..
