Could add a blazer too.


Vegan leather is not a thing. It's just pleather. Calling it vegan leather allows people to feel ethical, and the company to charge 30% more, but it is all marketing.


+1 Plastic jeans.

Straight leg jeans, Chelsea boots, a lightweight v-neck sweater, and simple gold jewelry. Also, good hair and killer lipstick.

This might be true for you, but plenty of people do care and enjoy designer handbags. Easy way to show you are doing well.

Exactly what I was thinking! Great hair always wins.

I’m more j crew/classic so I think that I’d do a long sleeve plain tee with a cashmere sweater over it, then jeans, and great shoes/bag. Maybe a wrap if cold. And a neutral manicure. I always feel more confident with a manicure.

I agree focus on hair and face. I love getting my hair blown out and I’d do that. You could get a facial the day before so your skin looks great. I think great skin and hair with mascara and chapstick is a great nice casual look.

What is your nicest/favorite purse? I’d wear jeans and pick a flattering top and boots to complement my best purse. Don’t buy something new for them unless it’s fun for you. I personally think jewel tones are super flattering so depending on your accessories a rich blue, purple or green simple top could look great. I look severe (not relaxed) in black or white but YMMV.

Schedule a styling consult with a stylist from Nordstrom. Tell her/him the occasion and they'll give you lots of options.

This is what I’d wear. Just make sure the sneaks aren’t golden goose because then you look try hard (and like a trend whore with no financial sense) not effortless.


Oh hell no! No sneakers on a Saturday night. If it were a day thing- fine.

Sneakers after dark fur drinks on a woman are not cool, definitely not sexy. Wtf?!


Agree - def no sneakers. Boots or heels.

Yup this. Although I like a few of the places the PP’s suggestions too (jeans & white button down & coded luxury bag, lol)
