3 date night looks, one pair of jeans. This is how you build a going-out wardrobe that works hard for you. The foundation of all three is the Veronica Beard high-waisted slim bootcut jean in a dark navy rinse. It's incredibly flattering, it lengthens the leg, and it's the perfect going-out jean. Every top below is under $100. 1. Gray ruched halter. The ruching flatters the waist, and the soft gray reads polished without trying too hard. 2. Gray off-the-shoulder top. It's feminine and effortless, and it comes in five colors, so you can grab more than one. 3. Faux leather halter, my favorite. It's well under $100, and it looks far more expensive than it is. This is the one to wear when you want to walk in with confidence. Sizing: everything runs true to size. I'm wearing a 24 in the jeans and an XS in all three tops.
