STYLE GURU STYLE: Stitched Up

Hey, hey, hey! It’s summer, which means lots and lots of time to spend with your best friends. My personal favorite pastime with my girlfriends is doing a super fun girl’s night out. I love hanging out with my friends, and after spending the year apart it’s always nice to come together and have fun. Plus it’s an added reason to get dressed up.

Hanging out with your friends is a guaranteed way to have a great time. Nothing beats a little laughter that will make for good memories later in life. Since being at college, I have learned that the friends I have made thus far in my life have become some of the most important and valued people. Being away from the individuals I used to spend countless days with was certainly challenging, but there’s no doubt it made each and every friendship I have stronger.

Whether you’re with new friends or old, I encourage each and every girl out there to cherish in a good quality, lighthearted girl’s night out. One where you can have fun, let loose and hang out with your best pals.

For any girl’s night out to be successful, it’s pivotal to have a killer outfit in place—one that makes you feel good and super confident. Whenever I’m deciding what to wear I always keep in mind where I’m going and who I’m going with. This ensures that what you’re wearing fits the occasion to a T. I always tell my own friends to wear something that fits their style. The most important person is yourself, so take the time to look and feel your best.

My go-to girl’s night out outfit, anything black, which is no surprise if you know me. Black dominates my wardrobe, from shoes, to tops, to pants and dresses it reigns supreme as the most popular color I own. Black has an essence of classiness, with a bit of an edgy twist. It looks good on virtually anyone with any body type, which is always a plus.

The outfit I’m sporting here is a perfect nod to that: it’s all black and it fits my style to a T. I was inspired by Gucci’s Spring/Summer collection, which featured tons of garments with lace up details. The lace-up black shirt is super trendy and a bit edgy. The lace-up detail is perfect for a girl’s night out, as it’s paired with a suede fringe skirt. This skirt is one of my favorites. It’s subtle in color, but it wows in style. The fringe detailing is perfect to spice up any look and it is sure to make a statement. Since I surely didn’t miss a bit in details, I opted for a subtle earring that is also black with a hint of gold detailing.
