Date Night
Friday, January 9, 2009 // 12:09 PM
Hey ladies! It's Ella taking a small break from the hiatus to update this lovely little blog. For this installment I've decide to show you my idea of an adorable date night outfit, granted it's not for those dates that involve bowling, fast food, or concerts (fyi heels and concerts NEVER work... just skip that idea all together).
I'm quite fond of the Jack Check Tube Dress by FCUK. I think that for fall it's amazing. To be honest the dress is a classic (in my opinion), and you'll be able to use it for a few fall/winter seasons. The other version of the dress found here is also quite cute.
Since it is cold out right now, I think a nice hooded leather jacket would look perfect with this dress, I'm a fan of this one by ASOS, but since they no longer have the black available, I like this Mike and Chris Jacket called The Edison in black, which you can find here. If the Mike and Chris jacket is a little out of your price range you could also try this one by Michael by Michael Kors.
With shoes, I'm quite classic in that respect, and love these basic round toe pumps from Type Z. I also really love these basic black pumps from Aldo.
As for accessories, I like the idea of a tough black leather bag with some really nice hardware. Linea Pelle has fabulous bags for this sort of look, I especially love her Dylan bag which you can find here. If you would prefer a slightly cheaper alternative and aren't against the idea of borrowing/renting a bag, I'd really suggest this Balenciaga bag which you can rent for $85 a week.
For jewelry I am in love with pearls, like this one from Chanel, but for a good investment piece I would suggest these from Ice.com, they're almost as long as the Chanel version at 30 inches long, but unlike the Chanel ones you own them, of course if you're like me and set on the Chanel necklace, you can always buy it after you rent it.
As for tights, I'm torn, I love the way this outfit would look with just these key pieces, but I also feel a nice pair of black tights or stockings would look fabulous, if you'd like to pair them with my suggested out fit you could try these from ASOS.
Grand Total: $1791 or $1285 if you decided to rent.
