Kitty in the City: ...Love and Basketball...

My first week in the district was a busy one. Between family and friends, I was invited to attend several happy hours over the course of two weeks. And although the venues ranged from cigar lounges to bowling alleys, the premise remained the same; drink a little, laughed a little, and flirt A LOT :)

Well apparently my flirting worked because before I knew it, I had a date for Wednesday night. The same night of round two, game one of the 2013 NBA Playoffs. Coincidently, my date and I are both Miami Heat fans and we are both from Florida. And although this made me less nervous, I still asked that daunting question— what should I wear?

So as I began digging through piles of shoes and clothes that didn’t seem to compliment anything, I received a text. It was from lover boy, disclosing the location of our first meeting.

We decided to meet at a local soul food restaurant, with the intent of watching the game. So my selections were 100% based upon the location of dinner. I didn't want my style to express desperation, which could be depicted through overdressing. But I also didn't want to show a lack of interest, by not dressing my best. So I came to the conclusion, why not go with the flow and rep' what you know? The Miami Heat.
