Putting Together an Outfit from the Bottom Up: Start with an Ankle Boot

If you’re ready for a night of clubbing, and want to look sexy from your toes to your head, let’s start with an ankle boot. But not just any ankle boot. This boot is the Planet from GUESS, and it has a spike heel, a full side zipper, and a lace-up front for that flawless fit. As if that weren’t enough, Planet also has leather straps and a buckle, to make every fashionista jealous of the woman wearing it.

Don’t even think about leggings with these. No, lovelies, you want black patterned hose – either a tight fishnet (not the Frederick’s of Hollywood style!), or maybe a pretty floral lace. If you can’t find these, then just choose something sheer.

Next, as we move up your legs, add the ideal skirt. To enhance your Planet look, that skirt is the flirty silk satin skirt from kensie. A short skirt, it bounces from a bright fuschia-pink at the hem to black at the dropped waist. It has a side zip closure, and is gathered below the waist so it swings as you walk or dance. It is 100% silk, so try not to spill on it!

Top the skirt with a cute camisole like the Lucas tank from Joie. Made of black silk, this top features a ruffly hemline to swing away from your body, a tie-back to accentuate your waist, and silk-covered buttons at the scoop neck. You can tie the ribbons above the neck or let them swing free. This shirt is a classic, and it looks just as great with your favorite jeans as it does with the skirt. Top it with a cropped black jacket, left open, and carry a beautiful, elegant, sexy clutch, like the Dina from Nina, in fuschia with black lace, and just enough room for your cell phone, keys and of course your lip gloss!

Dolled from head to toe, you’ll be catching every eye in this ensemble. And to think it all started with a boot!

THE DAILY TREND - BOXY JACKETS

Boxy jackets are a great option if you want to have a retro feel but not look dated. For the right proportions, think boxy on top and sleek on the bottom, like pairing this kensiegirl jacket with boot-cut jeans and heels. It makes for a great, effortlessly cool look.

THE DAILY TREND - TIER DRESSES

Tiered dresses are freeflowing and playful, whether the tiers are flat or ruffled. Feeling too flapper-esque? Dresses with longer tiers , like this one by kensie, are more fluid and will have you less likely to break out into the Charleston – wear them with colored tights and flats.
