As I am thinking of what really is the perfect outfit to wear for dinner after work on a Friday night, so I begin to imagine a pair of skinny jeans like these from one of my favorite online boutiques, Shop Bop . So I’m thinking after I discover denim worthy of a diva! (Don’t forget to select chic, sleek jeans that fit you like a second skin). Okay, okay so what am I going to wear on top – definitely not going naked! I decide to pair with a fabulous tunic top Nordstrom’s and; I’m thinking any style would do Monica as long as its chic! Then what about my footsies? I rummage through my closet and decide to top off this outfit with cute booties ; I know that I am ready while still remaining chic and comfortable. And don’t forget to add your favorite vintage clutch bag; you can even find one online from Goodwill ; yes that’s right! Fashionistas don’t forget that finding key pieces for a chic look, please look at thrift stores – as you’ll never know what you will find!

I’m ready for dinner and a movie date night with my hubby!

Until the next adventure,

… meet the bootie!

When looking at transitioning, footwear cannot be neglected, so let’s talk about a little thing we’ve dubbed the “sandalized bootie.” They’re kicks that embrace the foot and look amazing with bare legs today and with tights for fall.

From booties with thick straps on a chunky wedge, to gladiator styles on a sexy heel. It’s the hottest new shoe trend!!!
