By the time Friday rolls around, the only thing on our minds is our weekend plans. And if it’s been a while since you’ve seen your crew, you know a girls’ night out is exactly what you need to de-stress from the week. Whether you’re planning on spending your night at your favorite restaurant or on the dance floor, an evening with your friends means no holding back. And naturally, that same sentiment applies to your ensemble. So break out the most extra pair of heels you own, throw on your favorite skirt, and get glammed up. And if you’re still having trouble deciding what to wear, we’ve rounded up our favorite outfits to take the guesswork out of your next girls’ night out look.
Go Casual (And Stay Warm) in a Denim Skirt and Sweater
