What to Wear For A Casual Dinner Out

Tie Shirt (runs big)// White Jeans 

Jack Rogers Sandals// Straw Clutch (under $40) 

Coral Earrings (come in a ton of colors)// Cable Bracelet 

I never met a blue and white stripe I didn't like. I also love tied-up tops, so this tee (under $50) is a match made in heaven. It was the perfect thing to wear out to one of my favorite casual dinner spots in the city, Bakersfield, one evening! 

Bakersfield is a super casual Mexican restaurant specializing in tacos, tequila, and whiskey located on Penn Avenue downtown! I live only a few blocks away and it's so nice to be able to walk over and meet friends. Bakersfield is located in 7 cities, so check out to see if your city has a location. They have pitchers of margaritas, delicious guacamole, and my favorite taco is their Al Pastor.

It is definitely one of those restaurants where you could be super casual- but I also like to dress nicely when going out for dinner, so this outfit is very representative of something I typically wear to most summer dinners out. The tee runs large, so definitely size down. I love the crisp look to the fabric and the tie at the waist adds some fun and interest.

I'm like a broken record with these white jeans. They've been featured in so many posts and are one of my most worn pieces of clothing in my closet. They're opaque, have a very slight stretch, a great length, and very comfortable and flattering. They run true to size! While they're a little pricey, they're worth every penny, in my opinion!

And how fun are these earrings? They're something a little out of my comfort zone, as I typically prefer classic stud earrings, but I really think they add a little 'oomph' that this outfit needed!
