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.

Turbans!

 Hi, guys! I did a collaboration with miss Desi on some turban DIY's she did. I styled three of the four looks we did, and I'm showing two here (the other one is for another post). So, if you wish to learn how to make your own turban, go check out her post. If you wish to see a couple of idea on how to style them, then keep on reading!

 For the first look we did, I wanted to to be delicate to go with the bronze color of the turban. We did a very sultry eye look and kept the rest of my face very nude. I picked a flowy white ankle length dress and used gold accessories to blend well with the turban. For hair, I tucked most of mine to one side to give it an undercut effect. And last, for shoes I went with some nude pumps to give the effect of longer looking legs. The whole look is very chic and relaxed with a hint of elegance.

  When I styled Desirée I decided to go for a look you can wear to uni or to a rave. Very relaxed and light. I went for a simple graphic tank tucked into a black and white stripe body con skirt. I layered a denim button down shirt and topped it off with some combat boots. For accessories we went with silver to keep it clean and simple. As for make-up we did a very clean face, not using any eyeliner but only mascara and a nice sheer lip balm.

 We kept the looks clean and simple, letting the turban shine through without looking like a fortune teller. Remember to pass through Desi's blog to check out her DIY and also stay tuned for another look I did about transitioning your outfit from day to night. Hope you all enjoyed!
