Outfits I've Regretted and Other Romantic Missteps

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Before the awkward silences, before the weird text exchanges, before you accidentally wave at the waiter instead of your date—there’s the outfit. And the overthinking. And the slow, creeping dread that you’ve somehow got it all wrong.

In Outfits I’ve Regretted and Other Romantic Missteps, Fran Preston takes us on a deeply relatable journey through the wardrobe malfunctions, grooming gambles, and questionable choices that come before the date even begins. Part cautionary tale, part pep talk, this is a guide for anyone who’s ever changed five times, cried once, and left the house anyway.

From the perils of wearing new shoes on a walking date to the emotional fallout of a bold lip gone rogue, Fran unpacks the often overlooked chaos of dating prep with wit, warmth, and the comforting reminder that we’re all just trying to look normal while internally screaming.

Because behind every “casual and effortless” first date is a person who absolutely panicked in a changing room.
