glad rags (n.): party clothes

There are few things in life that make me feel as fabulous as a good outfit or a good cocktail. T-shirts and dive bars have their place, but some nights I want to slip into something less comfortable and drink something complicated.

If you’re having a night like that, stop by one of Baton Rouge’s premier bars in one of the following fierce outfits, and order a cocktail to match.
Cheers!

French 75s are my absolute favorite cocktail. Ever. On the planet. Gin, champagne, and lemon. It’s the best. And The Radio Bar makes a great one! This boatneck green dress just feels Parisian to me. Pair it with ballet flats and a chic ponytail to show off your long, elegant neck, Tyra Banks style.

Sipping Pimm’s Cup feels about as Southern as sweating in church. Huey’s has a great happy hour, so you don’t need to get too fancy. I’d drink it wearing something casual and classic like these adorable daisy pants. Peter pan collars and pink Swarovski crystals up the femininity.

Nothing feels quite as cool as walking up to a bar and ordering a Sazerac. Black chiffon and ankle boots make for an equally cool outfit. The initial necklace from Kate Spade’s little sister line, Saturday is the perfect accent. Delicate, gold jewelry is everything right now. New Orleans style restaurant, Bistro Byronz has more than mastered this NOLA classic, so order one with your next Abita Pork Chop dinner (so delicious by the way, try it)
