BLACK DENIM DRESS
White House Black Market Coated Denim Dress
Denim is found on everything from jeans to shoes — and just because it's common doesn't mean it needs to be boring. This denim dress from White House Black Market is coated for a sophisticated look, and the mid-knee length makes it appropriate for any occasion.
We're loving this denim dress for under $50. Though it has a more relaxed fit than Martin's pick, it can still be dressed up or dressed down with a couple essential accessories.
LEOPARD HEELS
These beauties are covered in calf hair and made to add a unique look to any simple outfit. They have a three-inch heel and a memory foam footbed for added comfort.
You can score this pair of stilettos for right around the $30 mark. We're loving the gold buckles and the suede feel of the upper heel.

Mary
For years, Mary worked as a nurse and now that she is retired, she wanted a brand new look for this stage of her life. She was joined by her two daughters and her adorable grandkids for a girls trip to the Big Apple.
