Affordable Night Out

There's only so much money being made babysitting that can be spent on clothes. And with college coming up, frugal is going to have to be fashionable. Here are some pieces from my closet, each one under $30, that can be mixed and matched with almost anything. I put them together in this look for going out on a date, going out to the clubs, or even work. It's embellished, yet simple enough to look professional, and the way the different textures work together makes it flirty.

The lace up booties are from Payless. I love how they give a boyish feel to the outfit! Any pair of booties will work, but to keep the transition from leg to ankle to foot seamless and smooth, make sure the shoes you choose are black, so they continue from the black legging. Speaking of leggings, this pair is a blast to wear! It really was love at first sight in the middle of H&M. They are black satin with rouching detailing along the bottom. The curved waistband with a side button clasp and zipper nicely keep the leggings from riding anywhere and keeps them very comfortable!The beautiful top is like a wonderful double-edged sword: the chiffon and flowers make it romance novel approved, while the diamond detailing and sparkly fabric used to make the flowers give it nightlife approval. It's from Forever 21 and was around $23. It will be put to work in my closet as a great multitasker!

The faux-leather jacket is from the LC Lauren Conrad line at Khols. It was on sale for $28. The material is super soft and the brass details on the studs and zippers plays nicely with the creamy color of the blouse. I can't wait for it to get a little cooler out so I can wear it and not sweat out my iced caramel macchiato!

Who said silver doesn't go with gold?! Metallics play gorgeously against each other, especially classics like gold and silver! I love these costume jewelry rings from Forever 21! The look super expensive, but were each under $9!So here's how I do nightlife...affordably. Good luck and happy shopping!
