Going out to dinner and need to dress up a bit? This outfit is perfect for a girly girl who also has an edgy side to her. You don't have to exactly duplicate this outfit by going out and buying these pieces though. Improvise by looking through what you already have! You most likely have some of these pieces in your closet, since they are some basic staple articles of clothing.
1. Start with a simple cut dress. This jersey style dress is from H&M, and is $24.95. Any simple dress will do though. I tend to lean more towards knee length dresses, but if you have a maxi dress that you have been wanting to wear, then go for it! I also recommend going with a bold color. Since the rest of the outfit is going to be dull, neutral colors, a pop of color somewhere in the outfit will keep it fun and girly.
2. Throw on a jacket over the dress. Especially if your dinner is at night, or during a cooler month. This High Voltage Moto Jacket is from Forever 21, and is $39.80. Pairing the girly, flowy dress with this faux leather jacket with silver studs definitely adds an edgy feel to the outfit, but still keeps the outfit classic enough to go out to dinner. If you don't have a jacket like this, any nice, neutral colored jacket will do. If you aren't wearing a jacket because it is warm out, I would add a big necklace on top of the dress as a way to dress it up and accessorize. If you're going to be wearing a jacket the whole night, wearing a big necklace would make the outfit too busy looking.
3. Slip on a classic pair of black tights, weather permitting. They will add a layer of warmth as well as another way to dress up your outfit. Plain black tights can almost be found in any clothing store, and for a cheap price too.
4. Now to shoes, my favorite part! There are so many ways you could go with shoes, but if you are looking to dress up a bit, definitely go for a pair of heels. If you can't, or don't want to wear heels, flats are a good option. These heels are from Forever 21 and are $36.80.
