The Birthday Dinner Where You Want To Stand Out a Little

The Birthday Dinner Where You Want To Stand Out a Little

A birthday dinner asks for a little more than your usual jeans and a tee, but not a whole new wardrobe. Here a leopard print wide leg jean leads, a plaid shacket and a knit wrap give you two layers to choose from, and tall boots finish it. Four pieces for a small closet.

  1. That chilly walk to the bus stop in your plaid shacket

    This shacket is 100% polyester flannel with a plaid print, a chest flap pocket, a single button on the cuff and a hood. The fit is oversized with a drop shoulder, and it can be worn open as a jacket or buttoned up as a shirt. It gives the leopard a quieter partner.

  2. The leopard print jeans for a plain Tuesday that needs more

    These wide leg jeans are 98% cotton and 2% elastane, with a high waist, four pockets and a zipper and button closure. The inseam is 28 inches, so they end at the ankle. The animal print is the loud part of this set. Sizing follows standard US sizes, with X Small fitting 0 to 2.

  3. The knee high boots for the morning you run out of outfit ideas

    These boots are knee high with a square toe, a 1.8 inch heel and a side zipper for getting them on and off. The sole is thermoplastic elastomer. Whether a chunky platform looks dressy or casual is a matter of taste, but the listing pairs them with jeans, skirts or dresses.

  4. The poncho you reach for when the evening turns chilly, Front Tab black

    This one size open front wrap is double knit, made of 50% viscose, 28% polyester and 22% polyamide. It measures 29.5 inches in back and 31.5 inches in front and runs loose. A tab lets you pull the other end across, or you can leave it open. It is the dressier layer of the four.
