Weekend Plans: A Night Out I

What do young and beautiful girls (like us!) do on friday/saturday nights? Well besides chocolate buffets and dinner parties, Harrods Girl and I also like to go clubbing! But our absolute favourite part about going out is the preparations- there is nothing quite like all the pampering and shopping involved before we dance the night away. So lets start off with what to wear!

The most important part of a party-do to our way of thinking is the top! It gets maximal exposure in the sea of people second only to the face. There are only a few requirements to selecting a party top, that it has to be sheer, revealing (moderately), shiny and detailed (sequins!). The word of the day is to look sexy! Afterall thats what sets apart daytime casual wear and night time wear isn't it? The above tops are by A. Teen (on sale) and H&M respectively. Here are a few more of our favourite party tops:

I've discovered that XOXO is a brilliant brand for cheap and pretty party tops. Afterall you don't want something too expensive please, because 1) you don't want to be seen wearing the same thing all the time 2) you'll only end up getting alcohol spilt on it and all smoky and sweaty. Oh and don't forget the cute sequinned shrug (very similar to one from BCBG) for when you cool off from the dancing.

And when it comes to party tops, we should all take lesson from the queens of partying-Paris Hilton and JLo. And where else to go to for Paris/JLo inspired clothes then Guess and JLo right?

Personally I prefer slightly subtler and classically cut clothes. Like these two from ABS and AX. Love the tiny diamond clasp on the ABS one! And the AX one can even work for the "cruise" look!

Match it with a pair of sexy jeans - like these ones by Citizens- and your all set for stage 2 (coming soon next wk)!
