Getting dressed for a night out can be quite a conundrum. You don’t want to get all decked out in sequins only to spend your night at some dive bar with hay and peanuts on the floor. But you don’t want to throw on tattered jeans and a tee only to find out you are going to some swanky mcswankerson lounge.

And don’t even get me started on dates. We all know the fear of being too overdressed (heels or flats? jeans or a dress?) only to wear the wrong outfit and feel silly.

The wide, stretchy-style is especially waist and figure flattering, and as an added bonus, the gold-tone latch buckle is surprisingly reminisce of the Gucci horse bit for a fraction of the price! I can’t wait to get to Urban to pick one up; my wardrobe needs this.
