Ladies Night

Thank goodness for longer days – I was actually able to get these pics snapped before going out for a sushi dinner with the girls last night. Our girls nights are a lot different these days after baby, as evidenced by the fact that we had it on a Tuesday! It is critical to spend time with girlfriends – and many girls get wrapped up in their girlfriend/mom/wife/employee duties, they just don’t prioritize time for themselves. I’ve seen that end in a lot of regret and resentment on the girl’s side – so take it from me – make time for your girls!

As usual, I didn’t have any time to get dressed up – so I just untucked my button-down that I wore to work and I threw on my absolute favorite white Paige Skinny Jeans and a leather jacket. I debated wearing a different pair of shoes, knowing I’d probably blog the look and I’ve already worn these in a few recent posts- but I couldn’t help it – so please forgive me. I am sort of obsessive when it comes to dressing. When I get something new that I love, I wear it to death. Only then do I let it enter the normal wardrobe rotation.

I’ve now amassed a large and ever-growing collection of button-down shirts – my favorites are from J.Crew and Banana Republic, and I think they are great worn with a more casual pieces like the denim and leather look I’ve styled below. One way to instantly add polish to a casual look is to add a button-down shirt. I wear it under a dress, under a knit, with a skirt, or even boyfriend jeans.

Have a great day! Xx
