The Perfect Outfit for any Occasion

Posted by Alexandra C. | Wednesday February 20, 20138 comments


Not too long ago, we gave you advice on how to find the perfect lipstick for any occasion. As we put it, your lipstick is the icing on the cake - the final piece of your outfit that brings it all together. 

But, what about the actual cake? All the outfit that goes on before the lipstick? You can't exactly show up to a friend's party wearing your birthday suit, even if have the perfect lipstick on (Note: exception to this is the nudist party). So we have a few perfect outfits for any occasion to take the guess work out of it! 

Casual Workplace


Wear: A colourful or patterned sweater/bottom (or if you're brave enough, both!) to show off personality with a basic button down underneath. Pair with comfortable shoes and a practical bag. 
 
1. Madewell Anchors & Dots Sweater (US$79.50)

2. The Cambridge Satchel Comany The Classic (UK$94.00)
 
3. Express Ultimate Double Weave Editor Ankle Pant (C$69.90)

Date Night 


Wear: Go for comfortable but put together. Never over done, over the top, or brash; just simple, subtle and feminine. 

1. Forever 21 Spotted A-Line Dress w/ Belt (C$29.80)
 
2. GoJane Open Toe Wedges (US$ 30.00)

Lounging At Home 


Wear: There is such a thing as cute sweats and we found them! 

1. Hard Candy Hi-Lo Popover (C$16.00, available at Wal Mart)
 
2. BDG Side-Zip Pant (US$39.00)
 
Lunch Date 


Wear: This one is all about clean, simple pieces and bringing them to the next level with gorgeous statement accessories.  

1. Attitude Jay Manuel Blouse (C$39.99)

2. Anthropologie Bloomshine Necklace (US$42.00)
 
3. H&M Bag (C$39.95)

Drinks 


Wear: A fabulous, stand out, sexy red number paired with a great pair of shoes. 
 
1. Forever 21 Spaghetti Strap Sheath Dress (C$27.80)

2. Zara Black and White Combination Heels (C$79.90)

Running Errands and Shopping 


Wear: Ankle boots, slimming dark wash denim and a throw on sweater. They're trendy twists on classic pieces. 
  
1. Hibou Carissa Booties (C$180.00)
 
2. Old Navy The Rockstar Super Skinny Jeans (C$25.99, on sale)

3. Zara Sweater with Contrasting Sleeves (C$29.90)

Important Meeting 


Wear: A tailored, chic suit and a shell made of a luxe fabric like cashmere or satin. Add a statement necklace or watch with it. 

1. Banana Republic Sleek Suit Blazer (C$195.00)

2. Banana Republic Martin Fit Sleek Pant (C$95.00)

3. J. Crew Collection Cashmere Tippi Sweater (C$218.00)  

4. J. Crew Tortoise and Brass Link Necklace (C$134.00)

Girl's Night Out 
 

Wear: Go all out with trendy pieces. Don't shy away from sheers, cut outs or leather panels. Don't be afraid to add some sparkle to your shoes, bag or of course, your arm party. 

1. NastyGal Disclosure Mesh Dress (C$48.26)

2. Aldo Essi Heels (C$100.00) 

3. Aldo Edgewater Clutch (C$40.00)

I have sweatpants similar to the ones in the "Lounging at Home" set and I love them so much, I wear them all the time (just not out in public yet xD)

I'd have to say lounging at home and running errand and shopping because I'm a stay at home mom and I haven't been out on a date in years.LOL
