happy hour

so last but not least is the after work get together with the What to Wear Series. You can backtrack and see what to wear for a night out, what to wear on a date night,
there are sooo many happy hours in NYC. the perfect place to meet up with your girls for an afterwork drink or with your beau or to meet someone new..who has a job!
so of course the after work get togethers are a little more put together but with a change from your daily flats into some stunning furry pumps...and you've got an outfit!



Top: Forever 21 | Skirt: Zara | Shoes: Gianvito Rossi | Bag: c/o Rebecca Minkoff Romeo
Necklace: Light Years

SHOP THE LOOK
i got this skirt during the awesome sale that was going on at Zara. i love the shape and the print of it. its very tribal chic! i paired it with one of my favorite forever 21 button ups that i wear religiously. see it worn diffrently here. the furry shoe really sets off the outfit along with one of my favorite
"hold my life inside it" bags from Rebecca Minkoff.
what i love most about this outfit is the mixture of textures and patterns with the bag the shoes and the skirt.
this is definitely a good look for that awesome happy hour just waiting for you to attend!

a little romper

continuing with the what to wear series...enter the romper. its perfect for a day date. you know...a walk through the park, coffee, a matinee show. its less dressy than the normal date dress but still casual and sexy in its own way. this is one of my favorite rompers from Top Shop. the last time I wore it was last year during New York Fashion Week.



Romper: Top Shop get similar here & here | Shoes: Sole Society | Bag: Sequoia via Loehmanns
Lipstick: Stila Fiery

the sleeves on this romper is what got me. that are like wings but slit down the middle. i paired it with my fav black strappy sandals {see them worn differently here and here) and my silver Sequoia handbag. this romper would definitely work for a day date!

The bandage skirt

i usually shy away from very tight clothing...mainly because it rides up and i end up tugging on it all night and feeling self conscious. but this bandage skirt is different. it hardly ever rides up because of the material. i think its perfect for a date night. since the bottom is so tight i went with a more billowy top to balance it all out.






Skirt: La Cite get similar here and here | Top: Top Shop | Shoes: L.A.M.B. Morisa |
Lip: Nars Heat Wave | Necklace: Thrifted from Brooklyn Flea Market

 i have a booty and i dont like it to be fully exposed...especially on a first date. i usually wait to a second or third date to shut it all the way down lol. So i like to leave my shirt untucked in the back. it serves a dual purpose of covering my booty tootch and making the look less pretentious and more laid back. a perfect outfit for a date to dinner or a movie. i love these L.A.M.B. sandals because although they are hella high they are really quite easy to walk in for a long period of time. Stay tuned for more What to Wear Series!
whats your go to outfit for a date night?
