Drinks at the Carlyle

I thought I'd show an evening outfit and also reuse one of the shirts from earlier.  It's my hope to do a lot of that, showing how pieces can be used in different ways in different outfits.

The shirt is the Lacy Afternoon Top from Modcloth again. The all over lace, close fitting cut and interesting neckline allows this top to transition into evening. $35.

The skirt is a black pencil skirt.  This is one of those things that can really be a key piece to a wardrobe.  It can go in a lot of different outfits for day or evening.  I'm not linking to a particular place to get a pencil skirt because it's the sort of thing you should go to a store to try on.  I link to jeans, which everyone should also try on in person, but I intend to do a whole post on buying jeans at some point.  My suggestion would be a skirt that goes straight down (though this photo curves in) and ends at the knee. 

The wrap is an ivory shawl from mycoverup on Etsy.  It's duchess satin and will add a nice dressy touch that's a pretty, evening appropriate replacement for a jacket.

The bracelet I found on Overstock.  There's a company called Sweet Romance that makes all sorts of really pretty costume jewelry.  This one is the Silvertone Gypsy Lace Crystal Bracelet and goes for $81.  But, you can also find something on JCP that's comparable and cheaper.  I was just shooting for the moon there.  Pay attention to the scale, the metal and the sort of romantic touches.

The necklace is the same company, Sweet Romance.  It goes for $68.  A similar necklace on JCP is $13.  So, your choice.

The purse is once more the vintage black patent leather number from the Joan outfit.  You can find these black patent leather purses all over Etsy, ranging from $25-35 on average.

The shoes I found on DSW.  It's the Nina Raven Wedge Pump in silver.  $50.  How hot are those shoes?

Also, feel free to throw on your fishnets with this outfit, or some black stockings with seams up the back.  Nothing wrong with a little sex appeal.
