I'm not going to lie, sometimes I just want to wear jeans to dinner. And why not? I've picked out some dressy bits to pair with them but still keep the comfort level at a premium.
This Rebecca Taylor lace peplum top is so pretty. If you are daring, you could wear it on its own because the front panels are opaque. Another benefit of going bare is having the full drama of the open back panel.
If you aren't daring enough or feel that you need the extra support, this lace bralette from H&M is a good option without impacting the style of the top.
These white jeans from Dorothy Perkins aren't really a boyfriend cut but more of a relaxed skinny which makes them a more flattering fit for a night out while also teaming well with the peplum on the top. You know I'm always looking for versatility in pieces, and these could just as easily be paired with flats to do the grocery shopping, but I've paired them with studded, beige, peep-toe booties by Glamorous from ASOS to make the outfit a little edgier than the frilly top would have you believe. The chunky heel adds height but nice stability, and the perforations and heel cutout make this a bootie that is cool enough to wear on a hot summer night.
To finish off the outfit, the Starfire Druzy Tassel Earring from BaubleBar is available in either black or the grey I show here and is the epitome of the feminine yet edgy mix of this outfit that is also built for comfort.

Perfect for a summer date night in over-air-conditioned restaurants and theaters, this floaty, romantic dress has luxe touches of velvet ribbon and a sexy little collar detail. Combined with the soft and frilly shoe, the delicate bracelet and clutch and beachy wavy hair, you'll be ready for drinks or shows any time.

Is it an office outfit, a casual outfit, or a date night outfit? This outfit could be the perfect mix that will work for all three. If the boots are too chunky for work and the sweater too slouchy, switch them out for a pair of heels and a fitted v-neck. The ruffled blouse is a mix of feminine and traditional tailoring and will work well into many different outfits.
Blazer: Alice + Olivia
Skirt: Simone Rocha
Sweater: Topshop
Booties: BCBG

There's nothing that I love more than a good plaid except a skirt with some texture except a skirt with some unique details. You see where I'm going with this, right?
