The red emoji dress under $100 + ten affordable date night ideas

As much as I really do love a good night in with a movie and snuggles, it's so fun to get dressed up for a date night out every once in a while! And I really don't think date nights out have to be extremely expensive to be fun and classy. So today we've got 10 date night ideas for you to get out with your lover that won't break the bank! And the most perfect red dress under $100 for your next dressed up event.

When Neil and I were first dating, we we're both working like crazy and watching our wallets, so Neil surprised me with tickets to a local theater play production. It was such a fun treat, and a fraction of the cost of a broadway show. I made a little list at the bottom of the top ten affordable date night ideas I think you guys will totally love, and a local theater production is definitely included!

This little red dress is the perfect date night dress!! It's so sassy and fun and I LOVE that it's under $100. It's machine washable (which is definitely a plus in my book) and the perfect length. The description of this little red dress says, “a dress that would love strolling through the park after dinner, its handkerchief hem swinging high above the grass, the night moon shining at your back.” Sounds like a perfect date night dress to me, please and thank you!

These are my go-to black heels. They are the perfect shoe for basically all occasions including date night! They are beautiful, simple and COMFORTABLE. These are a timeless pair of shoes that I totally believe are worth the investment.

This leopard clutch is my go-to for years now for any dressy event. It's a neutral in my book and holds just all of the essentials without being clunky. This leopard clutch adds an extra little flare to any outfit and is such great quality. I've worn it over and over and I'm obsessed!
