Reader Jill wrote in with a chic for cheap challenge for us this week. Here's how she describes what she's looking for:
"I have a mini-reunion with some high school gals this weekend in Chicago - some I haven’t seen in 10+ years! I need to look great, but I have hit a road block! I already have some great brown Michael Kors knee-hi boots... and I'm thinking of wearing those with some skinny jeans, but for up top I need ideas and suggestions!
The evening will include dinner at a steakhouse, then drinks at a local bar that is having a benefit concert for a guy we graduated with that recently befell some very serious medical issues. So the dinner will be maybe a touch fancy, but the drinks part will be very “hometown” fun with a little solemnity mixed in."
MY PICKS: I think a slouchy top looks great paired with skinny jeans and boots. The tank top adds just a spot of color underneath it all and the accessories bring it all together. Pairing two (or more) necklaces adds a funky (not too tailored) and chic note to the ensemble.
If you want to help Jill our with some ideas, please include a link to a look you create (with Polyvore or another program) in the comment section below. Don't forget to check out Melissa's look right here. Have fun at your reunion and concert Jill!
I'm so crazy for these pieces right now. I actually would like this look translated into everything... from home decor and paper goods to lingerie and more. What things are really rocking your world these days? Leave link to your favorites in the comment section below if you'd like.
