In the midst of the organized yet chaotic rhythm of my workday, a text from my go-to fashion confidante promising a downtown dinner immediately transformed my day.
Excitement filled the air, but so did a reoccurring dilemma: What to wear? Especially when the plans are as spontaneous as the city lights at night. In moments like these, where time is not on your side, my go-to move is to look up the aesthetic of the scenery and pick my fit based on the vibe it gives me.
Before I stepped foot into my closet, a quick Google search of the chosen restaurant, Mad Nice, was being pulled up on my phone. TikTok clips showcased a dining experience that screamed sophistication, setting the tone for what I needed to pull together in terms of style.
Outfit Details:
Mesh Top - a random buy from SHEIN
Liquid Leggings - an essential bought from a hidden gem boutique āJas Monae Boutiqueā
Leather Loafers - some classy Gucci loafer dupes from DSW
Chain Strap Purse -Ā This has been a signature go-to bag since 2019 and now that it's a little worn and torn, I use it as a grunge glam accessory.
Faux Wool Trench Coat - I've had this polyester trench for about eight years but I only wear it on occasion hence the quality.
As I arrived at Mad Nice, I found myself sitting in the car, taking a moment to gather myselfāliterally.

The process of throwing something on had been swift, but what was the outcome now that I had arrived? A mixture of confidence, a dash of comfort, and perhaps a touch of "I just effortlessly threw this together." It's a vibe, and it works like a charm just about every time you have a last minute plan on the floor.
For all those last-minute plans and dinner dates that demand a swift style decision, fear not! Whether you're in need of a shopping spree or just some quick guidance on how to pull it all together, here's my golden rule: When life throws you last-minute plans, throw on something that makes you feel like youāre dressing as the best version of yourself. Because after all, spontaneity and style go hand in hand.
