What to Wear: Vegas

Vegas…not my favorite place in the world. But it does make for a good time. Here is Maddy’s request:

I love your blog…I get so excited when a new one pops up in my RSS reader! My girlfriends and I are going to Vegas for a long weekend in March and I’d love your advice on a going-out outfit. I’m in my early 30s and usually in bed by 10:30, so I feel a bit out of my element when it comes to dressing for Sin City.

My everyday style is simple and classic. I have a slender (i.e., flat-chested) build and I’m about 5’5″. I’d love to find an outfit or two that would be hot yet classy for nights on the town. Oh, and budget-friendly too!

My first response to Maddy was that when I’m presented with this sort of quagmire, I usually go straight to Forever 21, buy something ridiculous to wear with jeans and call it a day. Otherwise, I’m apt to try to wear my favorite turtleneck (as you can tell, I love the nightlife…I love to boogie). Let’s go this direction, but with a little more thought:

Top – This satin tunic is fairly classy is a lot of fun for an evening out on the town. It is something that a 30-something would wear, but not something that will instantly say “Hey! This one over here was born in the 70’s.” $20 from Forever21.
Bottom – Depending on what kind of place you’re going, either pair this with a very tight pair of skinny jeans or a very tight skirt.
Shoes – Either way, you’ll need these shoes. Metallic and patent leather with a peep toe.
Bangle – From Forever21.
Clutch – Metallic fold-over for $8.

This outfit fits the bill and leaves you with some extra cash for those seafood buffets.
