Ready Made Outfit: Out for a Drink

If you’re heading out to a chichi bar anytime soon, consider wearing this equally elegant ensemble. Looking long and svelte, you’ll be the most stylish girl in the room.  It’s all about the details: the pockets on the dress, the stirrups on the leggings, and the round toe on the pumps.  Don’t be surprised if both guys and girls complement your look. 

"Out for a Drink" Fashion Formula = Dress with Pockets + Gold Necklace + Stirrup Leggings + Round-toe Pumps.

Ready Made Outfit: Funky School-Girl

Even if you’re not enrolled in school, you can still look like a fashionable school-girl with the right outfit. Since you’d rather look like you’re heading to lunch than the library, pair your mini plaid jumper with chunky pumps instead of flats. And if you want to avoid looking like Britney Spears in her "Baby One More Time" video, stay far away from tummy-revealing tops by choosing a turtleneck instead. Soon, you’ll be the most stylish gal on campus - er, street.
