Transitioning From Day to Night

 Finally, an outfit related post! It's been ages since I do one. Why haven't I? I've just been feeling more attuned to make-up and reviews, that and no one ever wants to take a picture of my outfits... Sad, really. Anyway! Since I did a collaboration with Desi, I decided to go ahead and do a transition outfit from day to night! If you're like me then you're always on the go and sometimes don't have the time to go an change for a night out. So this post is a bit of help on how simple you can take an outfit from a day casual look to a more night out look. Enjoy!

  Going to uni or anywhere sometimes entails being comfortable. I love being comfortable but stylish, which is an easy task. Here I took a simple polka dot peplum blouse, which gives me a more curvy appearance, and paired it with some simple blue jeans. To add another print into the mix, I added some leopard print loafers which gives the outfit a quirky touch. Tying my hair up into a bun gives me a more casual yet put together look, which I paired with my glasses. As for make-up? A simple cat-eye liner and a hot pink lippie did the trick. And add a messenger bag to continue that casual look.

 After spending your whole day in class, you want to unwind and maybe go out to drink with the girls. But wait, you don't have time to change! No problem, here's what you need to do. Adding a sleek pair of black pumps adds a much needed length. You can even un-cuff the ends of your jeans to add even more length. By letting down you hair you give a more mysterious feel to the outfit, which you can later pair up with a turban headband. Finally, ditch your messenger bag for a nice sleek black clutch. The pop of color in this outfit is all in the lips. Remember, black goes with everything, even the lips.

   I've been meaning to tackle this topic since I was asked a couple of times. How can your black clutch be from Office Max?! I swear, it is! I was walking Office Max looking for some materials when I stumbled upon these paper "folders" that were very clutch like. The best part? The price. Clutches like these go for $30 to $80 if you get them from a store. Who knew that we had clutches so close at such an affordable price? The one I got was for $14 and I swear there were a lot more. Different colors, prints, textures, you name it.

  I say it's a good buy if you want a nice clutch that you're only going to use for a night our or to go to a meeting. Their perfect. You can't fit a lot, but that's basically the point of a clutch. I know I'm going to be getting more to spice up my work wardrobe when I go meet up with clients.
