When it's ladies' night, we tend to break out the big guns so to speak. We want to look good (maybe even better than when we’re hanging with the boys) because, hey, let’s face it — no one’s going to appreciate the fact that we paired that dress with those shoes and this bag quite like our best friends. (Cue The Golden Girls’ theme song.)

But, the truth of the matter is less actually is more — at least sometimes — and pairing your neon, digital-print cocktail dress with Elizabeth Taylor-scale earrings might end up looking more faux pas than fierce. So, we snagged an armload of sleek mix-and-match separates from the Nicole x Missguided collection to create three simple looks that are girls'-night appropriate — and cute-stranger approved, if you’re in the market.

See style editor Annie Georgia Greenberg nail these GNO looks, and then shop the exact must-have pieces from Missguided (with free shipping on all orders to the States, we might add). Oh, and if you're considering copying the look head to toe? Don't worry — your secret's safe with us.
