Make me look hot!

Hermes

please tell me this is not the player...

nicoley · Coach

lol, i thought people might think that, i was actually going to write that it wasn't that guy... no its actually a guy i met from doing my rotations.

Hermes

yay! where are you going and what are you thinking of wearing?

nicoley · Coach

Well its sunday night... so id like to dress a little more laid back, and it will probably just be a college bar or something to that effect. But this guy is very much into fashion, so i want to look trendy, put together, but still classy and sophisticated, if that makes sense. I was planning on either wearing my Rock and Republic jeans or my black distressed citizens jeans.... but i was also debating of going out and buying the express skinny jeans that they have. And then i was just going to wear some black pointy heels.

So im basically just struggling to decide what top to wear and the accessories to pull it together. Id have to buy both items i believe.

Hermes

well, if you get the skinny jeans, how about a tunic top with a big belt?

nicoley · Coach

This is really bad... but can you give me some examples.... i think i remember seeing urban have some tunics, but i dont know which one would work.... oh and then any jewelery? Do you know anywhere that has big belts somewhat cheaper, i probably wouldnt wear it alot so dont want to spend that much

nicoley · Coach

Something like this?

Any way to get the look for less? I even already hve shoes that look exactly like the ones shes wearing

Hermes

some ideas - that are somewhat casual...

also - how about skinny jeans tucked into boots with a batwing sweater?

the tunic look

first set of outfits are from Max Studio, the tunic one is Arden B

and girl, what were you doing up so early (or should I say up so late?)

ha - we were on the same track... the top is from Arden B - it shouldn't be that expensive - I also found a really cool huge hype belt that would work for that at TJ Maxx for like $14 (bargain!) so, if I were you, go pick up the skinny jeans, then head to Arden B (or Express - that's where the jeans are, right? they might have some tunic tops) go to TJ's for accessories...

Hermes

I saw you mentioned urban - how about a belted tunic tee with a shrunken or cropped jacket?

nicoley · Coach

Ahh i like that idea as well! Although, i dont have a shrunken/cropped jacket :( Is there any way to make some look like that work, or like the one from arden b, at urban? Im on a time constraint today, because i have to study, and would rather drive 2 minutes instead of 20 to the mall.

By the way, you are so awesome for helping me!

nicoley · Coach

oh and does the tunic belt look, look good on all body types... or can only certain people pull it off? Im completely average, average height 5'4 average weight, and dont want it to make me look stumpy... ive never tried this look on before

Hermes

ugh - what I can see on-line for urban is so limited... if it were me, and I had skinny jeans and heels to work around, and I wanted to be relaxed and not look like I was trying to hard, I'd probably wear something like this:

this jacket worn unbuttoned over a tunic tee with a big belt

but that's me - I don't know if that look appeals to you... any other stores that are geographically desirable?

all you can do is try it on - you're pretty skinny from what I recall - I'm pretty sure it will look good on you.

nicoley · Coach

no other stores are really close besides F21, express.... bebe, ardenb, nordstrom, are all 20 minutes away, i might just suck it up and have to go

relrel · Marc Jacobs

how about this....(read my review of the gray jacket):

with your black distressed jeans..

(without the belt)

HeatherLynn · Gucci

I love the Arden B sweater so I say go to the mall and get it.

From urban:

From Forever21

with a black tank under it with skinny jeans and heels

theotherjess · Chanel

This top is cute and they had a ton on the clearance rack last time I went. I like detroit's ideas too. Just stop into the F21 and you'll find tons of options.
