As much as I like the idea of shifting an outfit from day to night, I honestly find many instances of it done rather impractically: after all, changing every single element except, say, your blouse basically requires you to carry a whole other ensemble with you all day! Last week, I had a date with D after a casual lunch and errand running in the afternoon. Because I didn’t have a chance to go home, I popped a few items in my bag in an attempt to transition appropriately into the evening festivities. An accessory & footwear swap, quick pop of lip colour, and bag strap removal later, and I felt much more prepared to take on the night.
How do you transition from day to night?
Wearing: h&m blouse, Club Monaco skirt, DKNY bag.
day / Coach flats, Alex and Ani bangles (c/o), House of Harlow 1960 sunglasses, C Wonder belt
night / Aldo RISE heels (c/o), BCBGMAXAZRIA cuff, vintage belt, Revlon Fuchsia lips
Beautiful outfit!
I love the print on your top and your brown skirt!

from day to nigth with just a switch of accessories.lovely idea!lovin you bag and heels and that beautiful top.
Fun looks! I think makeup is a definite helper in the day-to-night transition, as is flats to heels!
Love both versions!
Have a lovely week
Oh you look great! I love that top, the print is fantastic and the shoes…the heeled shoes.. amazing!
So pretty! Love your bag!

I love this transition and it was really smart. Your observation about the impractical Day-to-Night outfit advice out there is totally spot on.
To be honest: I never do Day to Night. I usually dress in whatever would be OK for a night out right at work, or I go home and change, because I don’t work far from home. It’s easier to go home, get a snack, do house work and then change before heading back out.
with love and aloha, Mae

I love both of these outfits! And I find transitioning from day to night to be too bothersome and I usually just don’t bother, haha.

Your version of a day-to-night look is much more practical than others I’ve seen! I completely agree that having to change out everything except for one piece of clothing isn’t really practical. Your way of changing up the accessories, shoes and a bolder lip really transitions your outfit well. And those Aldo heels are even more amazing on!

For me personally, I tend to wear a lot of black if I’m going to do a day to night transition and change shoes and jewelry. For example, for day I might wear a sequined blouse, black slacks and black pumps with a cardigan over the blouse buttoned halfway. Then for night, I might slip into open-toed black sequined sandals, remove the cardigan and add some dangling earrings and makeup.
I love what you did especially with the belt. It is amazing how shoes and accessories can totally transform your look.

Something as simple as letting your hair down makes such a huge difference!
