I've been trying to think of ways to still be feminine, but in a more "grown up" and modern way.
For the first outfit, I love the back of the dress. I think it's absolutely perfect for date night. I also love that the front is very conservative, and can (maybe?) be worn during the day with the jacket. My only concern is that the bow will poke out from under the jacket. I know that would drive me nuts.
Pretty much everything for this outfit is from Forever21. I love their price-point (hello, broke college student), and I'm really loving their stuff recently.
As an added bonus, you can get $10 off your first BaubleBar item.
