Think what you will of Lindsay Lohan, but I have to admit that she caught my eye recently when she stepped out on the town in a little black minidress punctuated with electric blue ankle boots.

When I saw this shot, I immediately thought of Meagan’s post about the Sigerson Morrison for Target collection and the vibrant blue booties she’s been coveting. They’re more or less dead ringers for Lindsay’s wild footwear. My second thought was, "Wow, this is a really easy way to dress up a really simple wardrobe basic." Remember, LBD + intense shoes = memorable look! Keep things affordable by starting with the booties from Target and scoring a little black dress from Forever 21.

For the finishing touch, take another cue from Lindz and add a striking necklace. Lindsay’s looks like it might be an antique key, but I also love this gorgeous vintage perfume bottle pendant: 

And there you have it! You’re ready to hit the town. Much more fun than pairing that dress with a boring pair of black heels, right?
