For Saturday's Date Night (to see This Is The End, which was so terrible and inside-joke-y I can't even talk about it), I decided to dress like a total fashion renegade.
White top, jeans, nude heels.
OK, so I wear outfits like this all the time. But there is a method to my non-madness, and the method is called "get out door now." The thing about a look this simple is that it requires next-to-no thought...but still: it's more fun if every single piece is just a tiny bit more interesting than you'd expect on first glance. Extras are everything.
It's the same philosophy I apply to decorating my house: I like the idea of sort of "rewarding" people who feel like looking extra-close with the discovery of, say, a ceramic frog tucked in between the plants, or a crystal skull head filled with flowers sitting on a tray. Adding fun details to a classic outfit - a slight cuff on the jeans, textured lace on the top, a bag with a stingray print - is a similar idea...it's like sprinkling your body with little eye-surprises.
