Perfect Outfit: What To Wear To A Gallery Opening

Whether you’ve got a hot gallery opening, an in-store trunk show, or a cocktail party with some of the city’s best-dressed, there are plenty of reasons to get gussied up this spring. Spotted on this leggy L.A. lady, this Perfect Outfit incorporates a voluminous flared skirt in bright red that works with a simple nude top and jean jacket for a look that you’ll love all season long. Just pair your picks with a playful patent purse and a pair of lace-up boots for the ideal ensemble to have you kicking off spring in style.
