Petite Fashion Challenge #18: Date Night

This month's challenge is hosted by Amber at Easy Petite Looks. She challenged us to put together an outfit for a date night or a girls' night out.

Allow me to apologize for the horrible indoor photos! I left this challenge to the last minute and it was raining by the time I got around to taking the pictures.

Here is my date night outfit. It's been so horribly hot in Boston I couldn't wrap my head around anything more than a sheer, flowy mini dress and some comfy wedges. Anything more, and I was probably going to melt. Also, this whole outfit cost me somewhere under $60! (I can't remember how much the purse was...I know it was cheap...but the dress was $12 and the shoes were $24.99.)

Dress: Ross ($12.00) / Shoes: Target ($24.99) / Necklace: gift / Bag: honestly no idea.... :)

Please go on and check out the other entries (with undoubtedly better pictures!) over at Easy Petite Looks.

Seeing Double

 
Dress: Ross (about $12) / Jacket: H&M ($34.99) / Bangle: bought in England / Shoes: Target Pearce Pumps
 I guess I'm really feeling this cropped blazer with printed dresses lately. Two in a row!
I actually wore this outfit last week, when I got to dress up all nice 'n' fancy at the elementary school. The kids had all done paintings in the style of Picasso, Rivera, Kahlo, or Dali and were showing off their artistic talent in a fancy little "gallery opening." Too cute for words, really. So, this is what I would wear to a gallery opening. Of art by 8 year olds.
 
Hope you're all having a great day!

Party Dress

 
Dress: Ross sz xs ($12.50) / Sweater: Ross sz z ($10.00) / Belt: Forever 21 sz xs ($3.00) / Shoes: H&M booties sz 7 ($24.99)

 
I've had this dress in my closet for about a month now, but hadn't yet had the opportunity to wear it. Not only was it cheap (yay, Ross!), but I really like the pattern, colors, and flowy material. Can't wait to break out the tights and wear this look all through the winter....
 
 Hope you're all having a great weekend!
