Nightmares of the wrong clothing

Anyone who says they are equally comfortable in a little black dress or in jeans and a tee is lying.  Either you love getting dressed up or you'd rather be casual, but not both. I like looking girly- makeup, nails, sparkly jewelry, shiny lips.  I pretend I'm hot.  Hahahaha.  I make myself laugh.  But I want to look girly in jeans and a tee. And comfortable shoes. I don't want to have to worry about being fancy.  I think that is why I like beer- it's not fancy.  I'm not a fancy person.  I'm a witty, albeit sarcastic, non-fancy person.

So then what do I wear on a date?  How do I look like I have my act together, but not in a stuffy, "I'm wearing a pantsuit" kind of way?  I wish I could just wear jeans.  Granted, I know I don't look fabulous in jeans, but at least I'm comfortable.  And then I can pick any solid colored shirt, since that is mostly what I own, and be fine.  I don't have to match anything, or coordinate or iron.

But I don't think it works that way.  So now I face that "what do I wear?" dilemma.  I need help.  Really, what I need is liposuction.  But there's no time for that.  I need to define business casual because I don't work in a business.  My dad used the phrase "casual but elegant" when I was growing up.  I hated that.  I couldn't be both things at the same time; it was physically impossible for me.  I may have to stage a fashion show at work because I need to call in the reinforcements.  And I haven't even been on a date yet.
