[In early adulthood there is an activity that plays a large role in most of our lives; nights out on the town. And with those nights out always comes the question: “What am I gonna wear?!?”

Each week I’ll be putting together a cute and affordable “going out” ensemble guide (that you can tweak to your own personal style and body type, of course) so that maybe that age-old question can be answered a little quicker than usual. And your friends aren’t waiting - for hours - for you to emerge from your room. Just consider me your own (free) personal Rachel Zoe. Only I weigh more than 88 pounds.]

This spring promises to bring in loads of new and recycled trends and one of those is the Cleopatra-inspired look (which includes asymmetrical tops & dresses, harem pants, and jeweled necklines). Being that we’re all queens deep down, I thought I’d base this week’s Night Styler on this sassy trend. Don’t worry; there are no harem pants here. I’m not down with looking like MC Hammer either.
