What to wear for a weekday dinner? Opt for a wide-legged dark denim jean with a high-waist from Urban Outfitters (www.urbanoutfitters.com). To avoid looking like a complete blimp, keep the top tight and lean. What better way than a dance leotard (www.sandigofit.com) that reminds you of the torturous dance classes your mom made you take until you were twelve? Unlike the first time, however, you’ll be the prettiest girl in this round. Pump up the heat factor with a warm cardigan from UO, but wear it belted with a thin (key word:thin) red belt. Go for a chunky wedge-meets-heel pump from Anthropologie (www.anthropologie.com) and a patent leather Jimmy Choo clutch (www.saks.com). Why? Because the idea of a patent Choo clutch for a casual dinner is almost sinful – and I like it.



I’ve been lusting over those Anthropologie shoes for some time now. . . Do I dare buy ANOTHER pair of fabulous black heels?
