People often ask me for tips on how to create an outfit that you can take from day to night. And while the task might sound daunting, it is actually a pretty simple thing to do. All you have to do is think layering and remember that in these instances a cardigan or blazer can be your best ally.

Take the below outfit, for example. I paired my neon skinnies back a crisp white off-the-shoulder tee (perfect for an evening on the town), but layered it with a conservative white blazer to go about my day. Two looks, one day. Pretty easy, right?

White Blazer:  Forever21 (recent)

White Off-the-Shoulder Tee:  H&M (old)

Neon Coral Skinnies:  American Eagle (recent)

Neon Necklace:  Forever21 (recent)

Bracelets:  Tiffany, Macy’s, Forever21

Watch:  Michael Kors via Macy’s

Neon Pink Clutch:  Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC

Nude Pumps:  Steve Madden via the Overstock.com

J and I still love to go on dates, and due to our opposite schedules, I often find myself going straight from work to dinner or drinks. I run into the same issue when traveling for work, heading directly from the office to dinner with friends in whatever city I happen to be  visiting.  And because of these frequent situations, I find myself constantly having to create these types of looks.  So with that said, the best words of wisdom I have to offer you when faced with creating a look you can take from day to night, is to really utilize those layering pieces in your closet.  A blazer can be your best wardrobe friend.  AND you can also bring a change of shoes and throw on some bright red lipstick to really up the ante for your evening look. 

Hope everyone has a fabulous 4th!!!
