Oh, the outfits we all remember from before quarantine started. I was digging through my photos on my phone, and found this one, from my best friend’s birthday dinner.

I was excited but soon encountered the big question: what will I wear? I knew I wanted to dress up a casual outfit and the best way to do this was heels and a fun jacket. To do so, I dug out these simple, yet strappy, Steve Madden heels.

I styled them with plain mom jeans, a black bodysuit, and a leather jacket. Matching the leather shoes and jacket creates a sense of fluency in the outfit and finishes the look perfectly.

Because this is an edgier outfit with the leather and buckles, I was interested in how I could soften the look with my hairstyle. I chose this super easy halo style to frame the face and complement the outfit.

Overall, this outfit is functional, fun, and perfect for a simple, but exciting look. Most importantly, putting it together was easy and affordable!
