Girls Night Out/Date Night: The Perfect Outdoor Summer Outing Look

It's Day Two of Girls Night Out/Date Night Looks on The Mod Little Melanin! Today's look is perfect for all of your outdoor summer outings, including outdoor concerts, art shows, an amusement park/carnival or any other local festival!

Today's look is three words; flowly, comfy and classy. The focus piece of today's look is this high-low top from Wet Seal. I love the versatility of this top. I only paid $2.50 (originally $16.50) for it during Wet Seal's Last Chance Sale, and it was absolutely worth my buck! This top can go from night to day an is an excellent transition piece if you are looking for clothes in your wardrobe that you could wear for day time or during happy hour at the bar. I choose to dress up the look, but also plan to dress it down this summer with a pair of army green harem pants and creeper tennis shoes.

I choose to dress up the look with my "Versace" shorts. Are these shorts Versace? Are they knock offs? You be the judge, but I'll never tell. I love these shorts. Flowly shorts are trending again this season and are a super comfy alternative to the traditional denim short. The gold print in the shorts allows to the option to dress the look up with multiple gold accessories, which is exactly what I did.

When accessorizing, it is always important to remember to either chose a statement earring, or a statement necklace; not both. I choose a statement necklace that I bought from Walmart. It seems as if no one shops at my Walmart, so I am always able to find amazing steals and deals. My necklace was only $1.00. I am also wearing several rings which I love to mix, match and stack together. My rings aren't shown in this picture. My shoes have been seen on The Mod Little Melanin before and are a pair of black gladiator sandals I've had for years.

When attending outdoor events, comfortable shoes are key. A sandal or tennis shoe is always my go to. I also prefer to wear clothes that are cotton and will not stick to me in this Kansas heat.
