March 3, 2015

You’re on the go all day and have plans for the evening. Why not simplify things by taking your style from day to night? With a little planning it’s easy to envision how your look can take you from brunch to a movie night with only a few, simple tweaks. We’ve selected five key pieces that can be dressed up or down depending on where the day takes you. And be sure to take a peek at our video for a bonus look that’s easy breezy. Day to night styles have never been more fun!

Look polished and confident as you rock the Brushstroke Dress. Simply pair it with a cardigan and kitten heels and you’ve got a classy look for brunch with the girls. Turn up the volume in the evening by rocking some stylish booties, a high glossed lip and hard metallics for jewelry.

A perfect base piece for a day to night look is the Sleeveless Double Drape Tee. It has a “wear anywhere” feel and, with some easy layering and accessories, it can go from casual to top notch in a flash. Think of it as a canvas that can stand alone or be embellished to achieve just the right look.
