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!
