Turning An Outfit From Day To Night

I was going to start this paragraph off with something like ” As a mom of three kids and running a business I’m always looking for QUICK AND EASY ways to change mt outfit from day to night…” and then I stopped. I’m pretty sure we are ALL looking for more ‘quick and easy’ in our lives. We all seem to be so busy, whether you are single and working full time, or running around after kids and just want to look cute or maybe you don’t have a care in the world but just need an easy way to change your look mid-day and don’t have a place to change! My point is, this post is really for everyone.

I worked with Ann Taylor on a few Instagram posts on showing how to easily turn an outfit day to night with just a few simple changes. I loved the challenge and outfits so much that I thought I’d share them here with you too!

PS. Almost every item I’m showing today is on sale! So hurry and grab them while you can!

Turn an Outfit From Day To Night

Learn how to easily Turn an Outfit From Day To Night by switching out just a few pieces!

Business Casual Summer Outfit

Get this cute, trendy and conservative business look, perfect with red, white and blue. The scarf makes it!

I started outwit these staple, classic pieces that you can mix and match with just about anything! I love these wide leg striped pants, pom pom shoes and white sweater tee.

Click the pics for all the links below!

 

Get with the scarf trend! Add a little extra to your summer outfit with a silk scarf.

Top it off with a cute scarf and big earrings for more of a trendy look.

Summer Cocktail Outfit

Drop the pants and add a midi skirt and blazer for the perfect night out with co-workers or friends!

Now let’s see just how easy it is to turn this office/casual summer look into a fun and playful look for evening! From a nice dinner to cocktails, it’s fun flirty and classy.

 

Get the look! All links are here for a cute red and white midi outfit with white blazer. Perfect, classic business casual outfit.

I simply switched out the trouser pants for a red pleated midi-skirt and threw on a blazer to dress it up! Oh and throwing your hair in a cute pony helps change the look too! But otherwise, everything else stayed the same. Takes just 5 minutes and you have yourself a totally different look.

This summer is all about the midi skirt, this red pleated skirt is so cute for summer weddings and business meetings.

Do a little twirl in this red pleated midi-skirt and white sweater top. The scarf gives it a classic yet trendy look for summer.

I really love how fun and playful this skirt is! It is classy and you can wear it so many different ways. It’s a classic piece that you will wear for many occasions.

You can always follow me on Instagram for more lifestyle posts and tips!

What I love about all of these pieces is that they are classic themselves and can mix and match with so many other things in your closet! Hope you like this look! Here are a few more below.
