Playing dress up as a little girl was one of my favorite things to do. Whether it was pretending to be a princess or a scientist. There is something exciting about dressing up and putting your best foot forward.

Whether you have a special event or a girl’s night out it is easy to dress up on an affordable budget.

I found this dress at Forever 21 for under $20. Paired it with my favorite fuzzy cardigan from Nordstrom rack, a pair of leopard heels and a statement necklace. This look can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

You can easily change out the cardigan for a shawl and you suddenly are ready for an uptown play or dinner.

And do not forget to smile, that ladies is the best accessory you could ever wear.
