Red and White Stripes by Night

Pin It

For the last post of this three part series, ensemble on a budget,

we style the dress for a night out on the town.

I am ready to take on the Queen City, wouldn't you say? :)

For the evening look, I reached again for my trustee Gap denim jacket.

I have this jacket in two washes.  The darker I've had since college, 

and the lighter wash for about five years.  I seriously wear this 

baby everywhere; certainly more than my blue jeans!

As you can see, all of the jewelry; bracelets, earrings, necklace, 

rings, as well as the clutch and belt, were used in the post for our 

casual day look.  I brought in my favorite pair of heels for this 

summer, which I purchased at Step by Sloan, and threw on this

straw ribbon trimmed fedora for my little K-Fed fix.

It's summer and still light out, so I'm keeping it real with my shades.

I've always loved hats, more than I actually wear them.  I own quite

a few.  I had so much fun styling this one for these pictures, so I'm

not quite sure why I don't wear them more.  This will be my inspiration!

I hope this post, and the prior two, inspire you to do a little mixing

and matching (and saving) from your closet as well!
