What often makes an outfit a ‘wow’ is balancing different looks in an unexpected way…maybe a soft pink sweater with black leather pants, or a structured blazer with leggings….here it’s all about styling ripped jeans to look ‘casually cool’ for a dinner out with hubby… Starting with the jeans, they are Lucky “boyfriend jeans”, loose fitting and mid-rise waist…the navy sweater is by Michael Kors – it is somewhat sheer, which makes it more interesting, just need to remember to wear a black bra…it is shorter in the front, so you can easily tuck in the front to expose a ‘ritzy’ belt buckle! A cotton print scarf is all you need to add finish, but add a jacket for even more!

The simple lines of this white Abelline blazer are a nice contrast to the sweater and jeans…..

What really makes this outfit stand out??? The shoes, the shoes! Orange suede mid-heeled pumps from Ann Taylor, easier to throw on than a high heeled Manolo, but no question that they pop with fun!  Nobody’s kicking me out of the Ritz!!! 😉
