Look number three in my series One Item, 5 Ways!
This outfit could easily take me from drinks to dinner and then a movie or dancing! My best tip for finding footwear that is dance-worthy is to look for open-toed shoes with a platform.

Or, if you know you’ll be walking a lot (or don’t want to have to think about it at all), go ahead and wear flats. They’re low-maintenance and can be just as cute as heels.
I also love the idea of incorporating something personal about myself into my look for a night out with someone new, something that will spark a conversation, such as this dog bone necklace. I love my dogs like they’re my kids, and it’s a nice to teach someone about things you’re so passionate about.

It was so nice to be in the serene surroundings, and even with the heat, the air seems so much more fresh out of the city.
