Day to Night // Chunky Sweater

 Sweater  Day: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4  Night: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4

The past few days have been an up and down spiral of hot and cold. Can't the weather just make up it's mind already? In the meantime here's how I would take a chunky sweater (cool weather wardrobe essential) from day to night.

Day 
1. Keep the sun out of those gorgeous eyes...neutral ones for daytime. 
2. A fun print to pair under a chunky sweater...this one's for all the cat ladies like me.
3. Give your outfit a pop with a punchy colored bag.
4. Fun cutout booties keep things interesting.

Night
1. Wear a not so usual bag for the night...this one holds all the essentials.
2. Dress up a casual sweater with statement jewels.
3. Sleek heels keep things dressy even when not wearing a skirt/dress.
4. Leather takes leggings to the next level with a bit of sheen. 

Which look would you wear? Day? Night? Or both?

Day to Night//Military Jacket

Every year I see this style of a military jacket and every year I never get one. But this year, I'm determined to add that beautiful olive green to my closet. Until it actually does become a part of my wardrobe, this is how I'm dreaming of taking it from day to night.

Day

1. A pink ice cream cone tee just lets the world know that you're the kind of girl that likes to have fun. 

2. My go to style for jeans, skinny and dark. 

3. I always love a good nude heel, textured caps are just a bonus.

Night

1. Dainty polka dots...simple and sweet.

2. Add a little drama with statement jewels, let your inner royal come out.

3. Keep things classy with pointed black heels.

4. Dreamy tulle skirts dress up anything. Feel fancy all night long in a skirt like this.

Which look would you wear? Day? Night? or Both?

Day to Night//Stripe Tee

It's been awhile since I've done a day to night post but when I noticed I was wearing one of my favorite tees all the time I decided it would be fun to make a set with a stripe tee. Stripes are my absolute favorite and I think almost everyone has one in their closet, they are just so versatile. 

For a daytime look, I like to keep my stripes casual with some denim shorts and flats. Denim, black, and olive has quickly become one of my favorite color combinations...I love this studded vest with a stripe tee.

A skirt is always key to dressing up a simple tee especially when paired with statement pieces. I think this look is fun with neutrals and pops of color...I'm pretty much in love with this neon bag. For a night time look I also go with shoes that are going to give me extra height and elongate my legs...loving the gold detail on these wedges.

Do you have a stripe tee in your closet? Which look would you wear? Day or Night...maybe both?

Hope you all have a lovely weekend

Day to Night: Plaid Button Up

As it starts to get cooler I always find myself wanting to wear plaid. Although I hardly ever have...for some reason I just want to. I guess it's a sign I need to add it to my closet. Here's how I would style it for a day to night look.

Day
This outfit seems like the kind of outfit I would want to wear for running errands all day and then stopping by Starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte...yum.
1. A cute pair of shades.
2. A scarf that's cozy enough to keep you warm when it gets a bit too
chilly, a mustard color one would be my pick.
3. I'm loving these boots and their chunky heel, I would pair them under jeans and
even with skinny jeans or leggings or...ok I'm getting carried away.
4. Jeans with a good flare...I'm usually all about dark jeans but I think a lighter
 pair has a better casual feel.

Night
I think this outfit has a nice contrast by keeping everything else all black. It really shows off a casual and polished mix for an interesting night look.
1. A purse that's fun for a night out...tassles? yes please!
2.  A black skirt with length. I would try a leather one, it's one of my favorite trends this season.
3. Basic black booties look good with everything and gives the look more of an edge.
4. Sparkly bobbies...perfect for dressing up your hair.

Which look would you wear? Day? Night? or Both?

Interior Design Turned Fashion: Casual Glam

Lately I've been drawn to polka dots and I think that's what caught my attention in this room. I love the statement art with all it's simplicity of just being polka dots in a monochromatic color scheme. I've noticed that with these interior turned fashion posts I tend to create outfits with skirts which I guess is more me anyway, but this time I wanted to show you how I would dress up a more casual look. Every now and then I go for a pair of shorts and I love the contrast of taking something so casual and dressing it up with heels and red lipstick. I was also inspired by the room to style this look with accessories that have a gold mirrored look. Oh and by the way I think polka dots just make everything a bit more fun...don't you?

Interior Design Turned Fashion: Dressing up in Neutrals

 I liked this room because of all the neutrals with just a pop of light pink and of course the chandelier. Chandeliers just add a glam feel to anything right? I've always liked the idea of being able to dress up for a night out when it's a bit chilly without being covered in a huge jacket. I think adding a leather jacket to a form fitting dress still allows you to feel glamourous and sexy for a night out. It really doesn't take much but chandelier earrings, a variety of rings, the perfect lace up booties, and an interesting clutch to complete the look. 

Oh and a messy bun just looks effortlessly sexy.

Interior Design Turned Fashion: Girly Edge

The Look

Lately while shopping (now that I have a job) I've found myself drawn to mustard, a color I've never worn before. It's the perfect color for autumn and looks amazing paired with just about any color...like black & white in the outfit.  For this look I put together pieces with fun details like a skull ring, ruffled top, pleated skirt, and mary janes....just some of my favorite things. I can imagine myself wearing this out for a date night with the boyfriend. It's girly and pretty but still has some edge to it.

Interior Design Turned Fashion- Heart Locket Memories

Lately I've been having a thing for walls covered in frames. The last interior turned fashion post had a wall just like this. I love how this room mixes so many colors and I really tried to incorporate the pieces that stood out to me the most in this look. What first caught my attention and creating a new love was the purple and seafoam color combo...I'm not the only one right? Anyway pairing my new favorite mix of colors with brown and gold accessories makes it perfect for an early fall outfit. All of the frames in the room really inspired me to add a heart locket. Who doesn't want something pretty to put their special someone in?

Interior Design Turned Fashion - Stripes Done Effortlessly

The Look

You may have heard me say that I'm obsessed with stripes and while I try not to buy too much of them, every time I see them I pretty much want them.  One of the reasons I love this room is because of the stripe wall...love.  I figured the look would really need some "look at me" stripes and this dress is perfect because it catches your attention with multi-directional bold stripes. All of the other accessories should look effortlessly put together and of course you can never go wrong with red lips.

Interior Design Turned Fashion-Summer Casual

I came across this pic and the bright greens and floral pattern really caught my eye.  I knew it would be perfect for some fashion inspiration.  I usually go for extremely girly but I wanted a more casual look that would be great to wear anywhere which is why I went for jeans and sandals.  For some reason this room reminds of a room my girlfriends and I would enjoy being in just because it is so pretty. I can picture wearing this outfit out to meet my girlfriends at Starbucks for a frappacino as we catch up on all the latest gossip.  

Where would you wear this look??

Summer Look

Interior Design Turned Fashion--Summer Stripes

The Inspiration

When creating this look I wanted to show a summer style that I would definitely wear for Madeline's contest over at Cappuccino and Fashion.  Although I'm usually all about color, I love this room with it's neutral shades of black, brown, grey, and white which gives a completely relaxing comfortable feel. I think feeling comfortable in what you're wearing is all about confidence and for me I feel the most confident in heels. My go to look is usually a skirt, short, or dress with heels. At all cost during the summer I try to avoid pants if I can, the heat here is just too bad to be covered up. Stripes of course are one of my obsessions that I think look best in black and white and I love the drape this tank gives.  Add a cute clutch, some great accessories and sheer lip gloss and you're good to go.

Interior Design Turned Fashion -Golden Highlights

When I saw this pic I instantly fell for this vibrant purple wall with all the beautiful gold accents.  It looks lovely right?? Although I hadn't thought much before of the two colors mixed together, lately I've been dreaming up the possibilities of outfits in this color combo.  I also can't help but love this sexy retro hairstyle paired with this look.

The Look

I've always loved the color grey with pops of color. I think that yellow is such a stand out color and has a summer feel to it and the blue reminds me of vacationing on the beach.  The flowing top mixed with a tight skirt has a more casual feel but still stays looking fierce with killer heels.  All you need is some sheer pink gloss to keep your look feeling fresh and not overdone with too much makeup.
