My High School Crush Date

Getting ready for a school date involves several stations before you step outside. You wash and soothe blemishes in the vanity mirror, brush on mascara, and browse closet hangers for pleated skirts, knit cardigans, and canvas sneakers.

The twist in this makeover game happens right in the kitchen. Between styling hair and picking out silver jewelry, you mix batter in a bowl, bake heart cookies, and arrange folded napkins across a café table. Adding baked snacks and tabletop decor turns the standard wardrobe check into an actual story sequence.
