day to night

I've been wanting to do a day-to-night post for awhile now, and I finally had the opportunity to snap some photos. It was a Friday. I had work during the day and then a birthday later that evening. This is a simple way to dress an outfit up and down for different occasions. 

I started with black skinnies and a fun, patterned tank. From here, I simply changed out my jacket, shoes, accessories and makeup. My outfit was instantly made casual or dressy.

DAY

To my black skinnies and tank, I added a bright yellow cardigan and taupe ballet flats. This kept the look fun and casual. I kept my makeup light, mainly using a clear gloss on my lips. Extra points for a cross-body purse in a fun color.

NIGHT

For my night look, I added a black blazer and black wedges. The look is instantly transformed into a more polished, going-out look. I darkened up my makeup with smoky eyes and red lips. A gold cuff bracelet and black clutch finish off the look.
