Date Night Look

February 8, 2021 By Ruthie Ridley 2 Comments

Ruthie Ridley Blog Date Night LookRuthie Ridley Blog Date Night Look Ruthie Ridley Blog Date Night Look

It has been months since Benjamin and I went on a date!! Back in August, we had planned to go to a winery together and spend the day. I was still working two jobs and it was nearing the end of the chaos. Instead of going to the winery, Benjamin decided to surprise me and go to a car dealership and buy me my dream vehicle! Truly no complaints, but our day date never happened!

Benjamin is not much of a planner when it comes to anything romantic! He’s amazing, but he definitely does not plan dates and find sitters LOL!! I don’t fault him for it, I just realize that it’s something I have to take ownership of! 

I decided that this year we are going to celebrate Valentine’s Day! We made reservations at one of my favorite restaurants that has managed to make it through this awful pandemic! We never go out on Valentine’s Day because we feel like the holiday is over commercialized, but, based on the past year we have had, it’s worth us going out and making a big deal out of the holiday!

I am looking forward to the time with just him and myself, a good meal, a nice glass of wine and a fun atmosphere! This will be our 14th Valentine’s Day together, which I think is pretty special! There’s always something to celebrate and I think it’s important to recognize those milestones along the way!

I plan on wearing this really cute two piece set that I got from free people! It’s gorgeous and it reminds me of spring, which I can’t wait for spring to get here LOL! Click the images below for this look and click HERE for my new favorite Angela Roi purse. I hope you all find a way to celebrate Valentine’s Day this year in your own ways! So much love to you guys!

I wear glasses for blue light protection and Benjamin just got a new prescription late last year. He was on patrol when he realized while driving at night it was becoming more and more difficult to read street signs. We started looking to Eyeglass World last year and it has been the best decision we have made! One of our favorite things about @eyeglassworld is that the day you get your eye exam is the day you get your glasses! Best part is you can always find a two pair for $78 deal every single day! Both Ben and I feel pretty cool in these specs! What do you guys think about our new frames?! #EGWpartner 📸 @etchedintime_photography

On my last few days of my job in nursing I literally had so much pain in my left hip while walking! I went to my chiropractor, they did x-rays and found out I had hip bursitis🤦🏾‍♀️ WUTTTT?! I’m not 90! Yes!! All the years of running, half marathon training, soccer etc. never stretching, it caught up! Now I go to the chiropractor every week and I do stretch LOL! Stretch people🤣

Confession: I didn’t date anyone before Ben. He was my first boyfriend at 22 years old 😳and so I don’t have a lot of stories to tell except about our first date which was probably my favorite. 

I was super self-conscious about the fact that I wore wigs and with him being a cute Caucasian male- (he’s actually British!) I didn’t think he would fully grasp the concept of wigs and extensions so I felt the need to tell him on our first date🤣. We were in an IKEA parking lot and I wrote it on a piece of paper “I wear wigs like Beyoncé!” handed it to him and ran away LOL! Of course he said “that’s awesome!“ And my anxiety was lifted. 📸 @itserikachristine

Kicking off another week in February in celebratio Kicking off another week in February in celebration of Black history month with my friends at Vera Bradley! First of all they launched this incredible unity tote!! #LetsComeTogether 

Second, they are committed to fostering inclusion within their community. They are donating $20,000 to Women Who Create, which provides scholarships and mentorships to young creatives identifying as women of color in fashion, advertising, music and tech. Y’all this is huge! Everyone wants to be seen, heard and celebrated for who they are in this life. 

“Red and yellow black and white they are precious in his sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world!”

In the simplicity of this old children’s song we are reminded that representation matters and we are all seen equally in His sight! Let’s continue to celebrate our differences, talents, cultures and who we were created to be on this beautiful planet!#verabradley #verabradleypartner
