A Night On the Town

In prepping for a near and dear's birthday celebration tomorrow evening, I'm working on the answer to every girl's favorite eternal question. What do I wear?

In recessionary times, it often makes the most economic sense to take some basics out of your closet and reinvent them with an accessory or two.

For example, take staples like a simple tank, slacks, blazer and booties, all in a neutral shade... 


And add some dazzle with a brilliantly jeweled cuff and feathered bag. Suddenly, you're the belle of the ball. 

I'm sure the birthday girl won't mind.
