Day to Night for Tobi.com

Here is something I worked on this week for Tobi.com; where I work. We thought it would be fun to show how employees would wear our pieces for day to night, and to launch the series, I went first! What do you guys think?

Day to Night: Part III and IV

Finally part 3 and 4 of my day to night series! Find one and two here.

My gorgeous girl, Jessica, volunteered to model, and let me dig into her closet for this one, so thanks Jessica!

Jessica has this great vintage Missoni sweater dress that she recently picked up at a local thrift store, and I thought it perfect to build a day and night look around.

The dress has some great colors that I wanted to work with, so for day I threw my Madewell cardigan on her. I cinched the waist with my vintage belt, to keep her figure visible, and also let her use my vintage bag. She wore her great leather sandals, and that was the perfect finishing touch for an outfit that's great to run errands in, get brunch, or picnic in.

For night, I thought it would be nice to toughen the dress up a bit. It has such a bold print, that only a bold nighttime look felt appropriate. Jessica has this great leather jacket from Forever 21 that I threw on her as the main contributing piece. I kept my belt from earlier on her, to serve the same purpose of highlighting her figure. I gave her my nude Zara pumps to wear, to tone down the bottom half of the outfit, to make sure the print and dress gets highlighted.

What do you all think of Jessica's looks?!

Day to Night: Part II

Here is part two of the 4-part day to night series! Click here for part one.

I wore the same silk dress I was wearing for day, and took off the jacket and booties. I added black strappy sandals, a vintage gold multi-chain necklace, and a simple black clutch. If you needed to, you could also add a nice peacoat or trench for warmth. A simple swap of accessories allow the fun fit and print of the dress to shine, and you don't need to add or do much to make this dress look cocktail hour appropriate!

Dress: Anthropologie. Necklace: Vintage. Shoes: Modern Vintage. Clutch: Borrowed. Lipstack: Poppy King for J.Crew.

Day to Night: Part 1

This is Part 1 of a 4 part day to night series me, and my friend Jessica put together for you all! We both took a dress, and dressed it down for day and up for night. Since day to night dressing is difficult, we thought it would be fun to take our own personal style and put a spin on this dilemma.

First up: me in my day look :)

I took one of my favorite pretty silk dresses, that I felt could easily be transformed with little effort. For day I kept it simple by throwing a military style jacket over it. These, and denim jackets can quickly dress down any look you've got. Sticking true to my style, I slipped on my favorite brown every day booties, and my go-to satchel.

Dress: Anthropologie. Jacket: Zara. Booties: Coclico. Bag: H&M.

Day to Night

Since we are in such a transitional season, I thought I should do a post on transitional dressing, but not for the weather. Transitional dressing can also be applied to the day. A lot of women these days are always on the go-go-go, so you want to make the best of what you have available to you. For an easy transition from day to night, focus on just swapping out your accessories to make the statement. Stick to a versatile cotton jersey dress, that has a unique cut or drape to it. It's just unique enough, while maintaining that effortless casual feel. For the day, pair it with comfy flat sandals, a great carry-all bag, a straw fedora if you wish, and if it's chillier, grab a lightweight jacket (you can see I love the utility look). For night, add a statement necklace, grab a sleek black clutch, put on some great neutral heels, and swipe on some bold lipstick. The bold lip and necklace help draw attention, making you look more evening appropriate. If it's chillier, add any coat you have in your arsenal.

What do you guys think of the set above?
