What to Wear
Once you’ve figured out what you’re going to do and where you’re going to go, it’s time to pick out what you’re going to wear, of course! Depending on what your plans are, we’ve pulled together inspiration from very casual to dressy and elegant.
This looks pulls from the athleisure trend, which we absolutely love. If you’re heading to Top Golf or somewhere that involves physical activity, this is a great way to go: functional, yet stylish. (Image Source: Always Dolled Up)
This is a look that works for most places you’ll go, as you can truly never go wrong with jeans, a blazer, and heels. (Image Source: Happily Grey)
If you’re going somewhere a bit dressier, a bold red dress is perfect. We love how the dress does all the talking, and very little accessories are needed. (Image source: Hello Fashion Blog)
This is also a great option for something a bit dressier, but in this case it’s been dressed down slightly with the booties. The beautiful dark blush, feminine dress looks fabulous with the leather jacket to add a bit of edge. (Image Source: Lauren Conrad)
This is a classic, elegant, slightly more refined look that has been elevated by the dramatic bow/scarf on the blouse. The high waisted pants look beautiful with the crisp white blouse.(plan on seeing a lot about white blouses for the Spring!) (Image: Who What Wear)
